For Fall 2013, you can look forward to new fabric treatments, silhouettes, and overall great offerings from Kelly Wearstler, which is not a surprise for anyone familiar with the label. Beginning her career with a home decor line in the ’90s, Wearstler’s fashion line launched in 2011 and her designs and patterns are a result of her prior experience in mastering idiosyncratic designs and pattern making. This season, Wearstler also drew inspiration from one of her favorite designers, Ettore Sottsass, because of his grasp on bold geometric forms.
For the fall collection we will see an array of both muted and bold color schemes throughout her collection. All of the graphics are uniquely hers, making everything from the blouses to the t-shirts a fashion statement. Something all loyal and new fans of the brand can look forward to is the thirty-piece denim collection. The made of Japanese denim and woven into the luxe fabric is also gold or silver stitching. Another standout aspect of the collection was the jewelry, which embodies a modern and avant-guarde touch making these pieces certainly more so than a modern adornment, but also a work of art.

Incorporate the colorblocking trend into your swimwear this season with some luxe separates created by designer Araks Yeramyan (of her eponymous lingerie label Araks) for J.Crew.
Araks based the fit and feel of the swim styles on popular underpinnings from her line, “It’s like lingerie for everyone to see!” she explains. Featuring bold, bright hues with a subtle, flattering splash of color block, we have a feeling you’ll definitely want to try all of these pieces, and explore the world of Araks further! Shop the line now, available online only, at J.Crew, at a price range of $155-$385 per piece.
