ROTATE

Brand new duo designers and street style stars Jeanette Madsen and Thora Valdimars who are Danish Natives, founded Rotate and launched their first collection this past fall of 2018. Rotate is Copenhagen based, but it’s popularity and recognition has spread all over the globe. This 70’s and 80’s inspired brand features elegant puffed sleeves and shoulders. With attributes of sophisticated floral embroideries and solid bold colors; Rotate gives you a modern chic, and vintage feel that is sure to turn heads. Fashion influences like Janka Polliani, Tamu Mcpherson, and Danielle Bernstein to name a few, have been spotted wearing the brand. I am a huge fan of vintage florals and can’t wait to get into one of these with puffed shoulders. I would wear this with a strappy sandal or even dressed down with a pair of combat boots. Not only is this new brand amazingly fashion forward but also affordable! The pieces are all between $250 and $560. You can shop the Rotate collection on online retailers like MyTheresa, Net-a-Porter and more.  

LES RÊVERIES

LES RÊVERIES is designed by Sisters Ai Ly and Wayne Lee who are New York-based. The RTW brand is a collection of sweaters and knits, and is known for its floral prairie feminine dresses. The dresses can be a staple year-round and styled in endless ways. Their signature dresses carry a very romantic and enchanting silhouette. The collection is inspired by romance, art and poetry. I love their dresses because of its elegance, versatility and modernism. I imagine myself wearing one of these dresses with a solid pair of pumps for work, and then changing into a pair of combat boots with a top handle bag for after work drinks this spring. I definitely wouldn’t have to worry about these dresses going out of style, as these designs are timeless! LES RÊVERIES is sold by Net a Porter, Moda Operandi, MyTheresa, and more.

Paco Rabanne

Founder Paco, born in Spain, was originally an accessory and details designer for Dior, Givenchy and Balenciaga. You can most definitely see the influence in metal elements; which is the signature of his RTW designs and accessory collections. Paco is also known for incorporating many unique and unusual materials in his designs like plastic, paper and patchwork leather. Although he launched his first collection many years ago, Paco has been getting a lot of attention and recognition within the past year, especially for his amazing SS19 collection. His vision was to recreate and recycle materials outside of their original purpose in order to create something new, and refreshing but most of all unique. I love this philosophy which makes his already stunning designs and silhouettes even more interesting and appealing. Paco was recently picked up by department store Barney’s, and is sold at many other ecommerce retailers like Moda Operandi, Farfetch, Shopbop, and MatchesFashion.
