[Bianca “Aldana” Halter Dress, $340]
It’s not every day that one gets to sit down to a one-on-one with a strong, innovative female designer and pick her effortlessly cool brain. Lucky for us at FPD, we had the opportunity to meet Dana-Maxx Pomerantz, a recent winner of Polyvore and FIT’s Emerging Designer Series Contest. The contemporary ready-to-wear designer understands fearless fashion and the feeling of certainty that jibes when clothing is simply put, meticulously you.
[Zoey “Casp” Dress, $340]
[Claudia “Sarria” Blouse, $210, Olivia “Tasso” Skirt, $330]
Dana-Maxx’s Spring 2012 collection was inspired by Barcelona, a city known for its individuality and its unabridged physical beauty. She combined architecture and striking “juicy, yummy” colors to create a line as full of history and cultural descent as the city itself.
With a strong focus on day dresses and other no bother pieces, the brand fills a (serious) void for women’s easy, citified workwear. Architectural necklines and geometric shapes give strength to an otherwise relaxed collection.
[James “Lepant” Dress, $340]
“I love designing clothing that let women feel strong, vibrant and fearless in when they wear the clothing,” the designer explains. “Also, this sort of no fuss attitude; women want a lot of bang for their buck today…. (they want) easy, effortless pieces that are unique but can transition into various seasons.”
Here’s to clothing you’ll feel strong and individual in, and to a woman who gets it, and delivers it!
Shop the Dana-Maxx label online or find a store that carries the line in your city. Dresses and separates retail from $98-$425 while accessories go for $58-$100.

From our friends at CollegeCandy.com:
Spring is right around the corner!!
Okay that is a total lie BUT Spring Break is right around the corner, giving us all the perfect excuse to don a great dress. And this season the bolder, the better. All my favorite budget sites have a plethora of bright, bold dresses that are total beauts.
And the best about these banging buys? The bold color choice leaves the rest of the outfit simple. Feel free to pair with some gold bangles or a simple pair of earrings; just let the dress do the talkin’. That means no muss, no fuss, and no stressing out over which accessories to squeeze into that already over-stuffed suitcase. (Figuring out the clothes is hard enough.) Just throw a few of these in, toss in a pair of wedges and a pair of flats (right next to that bottle of Absolut), and you are ready for Acapulco or wherever your Spring Break destination may be. And – bonus round! – you can wear these well into spring and summer.
If only God would answer my prayers and let Spring come now! All I want is a sun dress, an iced coffee and a huge pair of sunglasses. But hey, he did answer my call with Pajama Jeans, so maybe I can hold out for a 60 degree March in the Midwest?
