Loeffler Randall Collection for Spring 2012

by

The CHLOE, $375

Shoe designer Jessie Randall is super enthusiastic for the Loeffler Randall Spring ’12 collection, available NOW at LoefflerRandall.com. With interesting materials like neoprene and chunky woven straw, and even more joyous neon colors, your feet will be screaming for attention. Patterned options, as Jessie Randall said herself, are “perfect for any outfit – almost like a new modern neutral.” For those of you who are more gallant with fashion, go ahead and mix prints as well!

We can’t help but admire the awesome inspiration for the collection: action/sports shoes meet the challenge of femininity. A rather interesting fashion paradox creates amazing sandals, platforms, pumps, and even an undeniably sexy mid heel. And to think, this all started with Fragonard’s painting, “The Swing.”

Our obsession? The CHLOE and CHLOE CV, retailing at $375 and $350 respectively. Comfortable high platform? Check. Perfectly appropriate nudes and prim polka dots? Check Check. Fashion forward… we’ll stop here. The checklist can go on forever.

“Dali”

Sigersonmorrison.com, the home page of Sigerson Morrison, has been MIA the past few months on “holiday,” as the brand prepares to unveil a new spring 2012 collection and site. In the meanwhile, customers can, however, reach Sigerson Morrison’s contemporary counterpart, Belle by Sigerson Morrison.

The existing footwear company is being revamped under the direction of former Teen Vogue and Marie Claire editor Taylor Tomasi Hill, as she uses her street style sensibility to craft the line and construct editorial content for the brand’s new online domain.

Tomasi told WWD, “I have a new found appreciation for creating color palettes and choosing materials – there is so much to choose from, and I think we put together an amazing assortment. We included so many rich textures, [including] suede, snake [and] spazzolato – my new favorite material.”

“Kade”

“Bottice” and “Gaugain”

We have to agree, and are utterly enamored with the wedges and flat sandals. Our feet are tingling with excitement at the chance to wear any pair from the SS12 collection. The new collection will range in price from $295-$495 with a taupe, gray, brown, and black color palette mixed with pops of burgundy and teal. With silhouettes including classic pumps, boots, wedges and flats, the company is anticipating a 25% increase in sales this year.

The fall 2012 collection will debut next month, hence we welcome Sigerson Morrison back with open arms…or feet, perhaps?

FPD Celebrates with Macy’s and it’s INC Brand’s New Editor at Large, Kate Young

by

Renowned Celebrity Stylist, Kate Young, rocking an all black INC ensemble (and our fave, the Cutaway Jacket!)

The Standard’s Le Bain in NYC’s Meatpacking District made an ideal backdrop for a collection that was edgy, girly, and a bit 60’s bohemian as Kate Young unveiled the collection she helped style as INC International Concept’s new Editor at Large.

Celebrity stylist Kate Young is known for working in the moment, and her carpe diem attitude was captured in the INC collection for Macy’s this spring season. The styled looks provided something for every day, yet a glam aesthetic also prevailed.

Faux Wrap Dress, $79.50

Our choice for the must-have piece is the Cutaway Jacket (on Young, pictured at top), $99.50, with its good girl gone bad vibe. The collection also includes, but is not limited to, coated pants, straight leg denim, studded and beaded tees, ruffled skirts, and a ruched polka dot dress in black and white. Young admits to contrasting edgy, tough details with feminine shapes to enhance her trademark “classic with a twist”.

As for accessories, the solid cuffs made the perfect statement. They’ll add just enough energy without overpowering the ensemble.

Young knows this spring is certainly all about color, fun, and ultimately, letting one’s individual taste really shine through. As she says, “Don’t be afraid to sparkle.”

Visitors to the INC shop on Macys.com will find Young’s seasonal must-have, as well as tips on everyday dressing. The first delivery of products is now available in stores and online. New products styled by Kate will be delivered each month through May. Such trend-savvy shopping is bound to be fun!
