hey all! i recently launched a kickstarter project in hopes of funding my spring 2013 line. i currently create all of my pieces by hand, but hopefully with the help of fans of this project i will be able to mass produce my line next season. click the link above to check out my video and to support the future of my line. thanks!!!
siri tollerod is photographed here by nico for stradivarius’ spring/summer 2012 campaign. the spanish label titled their summer line “brighten me up.” soft whites, girly silhouettes, punchy pop colors and vintage hawaiian prints are combined by stylist lidia aguilera. lose summer updos are created by hair stylist karim b and makeup by sonia pena.



spring pastels look pretty fresh this season. designers have ditched pastel grounded florals and dainty details for super textures and ice cream colors. ornate buttons and leather moto jackets give softness a sharp edge. styling this season is ice cream parlor inspired too…soft colored scoops sit stacked one on top of the other for a subtle color blocked look.
i mentioned before that mint was a pretty hot color this season. my favorite is the chanel jacket in the last image. yes please!

so recently i was asked a question about long skirts and their staying power. everything from fast fashion retailers, next season’s trade shows, and high end editorials point to these lengths staying around.
the skirts are popping up in different fabrications; sheer silks and chiffons, heavy linen and canvas, printed fabrics, and embroidered and pleated detailing. some are straight with slits up the side and zippered closures. others are full circle pull ons. pair any of these looks with a solid, sheer blouse tucked in and belted for work. exchange for a tee shirt and cowboy boots for a more casual look.
for the next evolution in long skirts, check out high to low hemlines like this one!
