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!

  5. 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!
