Fashion Week '14 - LIBERTINE

see all the pics on Style.com 

I haven't done a fashion show review in some time but today's the day.  Libertine has always been an inspiration since back in the early, up cycled vintage screened jackets day and this FW '14 collection did not let me down.  And really, Libertine was an Eco Fashion pioneer we just didn't realize it at the time, did we?

SO. much. FUN. 

I am in love with the myriad vintage-style coats embellished in crazy ways.  The Marilyn granny punk from Look 16, above, was a stand out - the coat is just perfection.  

Enjoy some more...

 60s style ski jacket shape is an all time favorite silhouette

 My favorites are always the wild 1960s Lillys -

How could one possibly have a bad day in this dress?

Boutique labels arrived!

So excited - my new "Jag & Nevie boutique" labels arrived. They're stealthy and sleek. I hate OVER labeling! Too Gucci-fied. Don't you think true luxury is mysterious?
The boutique line features our more time-consuming items - the dresses, rompers and some of the adult t-shirts. So fun!

A new dress in the works, but until then....

Right now I'm working on a fun little sundress for girlies size 2T on up. It's a white spaghetti strap number made by a cooperative in Guatemala and I'm dolling it up - OF COURSE! - with flippy panels of wild vintage 60s prints. Friends (thanks April, Ann!) & family (merci buckets Miss!) have been so generous lately with donations of crazy fabrics. I confess I'm actually overwhelmed with a huge stack of fantastic choices. What a joyful conundrum;-)

Until I finish the sample I'll have to leave you with just this photo. It's about my favorite design so far - - -

I hear too much arguing - time to referee the monkeys....
