Kate Towers

I have a lot of fondness for established fashion houses like Chanel, YSL and Prada, but I have to say, I'm also gaining a lot of respect for rising independent designers. It takes a lot of vision and drive to launch your own label, let alone make it a success.

One of my faves is Kate Towers, a self-taught designer from Portland, Oregan who makes non-seasonal, one-off designs that draw on her Fine Art background and inspiration from nature. Her dresses are so lovely. And I LOVE the photography from her lookbook!

    independents are the best, they often have such daring and outrageous styles, or they are just so skilled and make beautiful, functional clothes. love it!

    These photos are lovely. I have to say that my change in fashion has definitely evolved over the years. These days, I'm definitely pro: indie design. Because it's nice to wear something and not have someone be able to identify it right away and enjoy the object for what it is: great design and not a marker of luxury!
