High-waisted Shorts Ft. Illustrations by Tibi

Dark olive green shorts are representative of the runways this spring. Many shows featured items resembling military jackets, army pants and combat boots. Some designers include Marc Jacobs, Celine and Louis Vuitton, and the "Army Surplus" can be seen here.

We used one of Tibi's drawings to illustrate our garment in her style. Tibi was started by designer Amy Smilovic. According to net-a-porter.com, "Smilovic continues to use a childhood interest in art and illustrations to inject a unique sense of vibrancy into her eye-catching pieces."

Pina Ferlisi Inspired Tan Dress with Black Rounded Neckline

Model - Christina Paone

This tan dress is made from a stretchy fabric with a more solid, black fabric outlining the round, high neck. The black belt that goes around the top of the body is separate from the dress. This was meant to add more black accents and lessen the amount of skin that is revealed in the back. The dress can obviously be worn with or without the belt.


Pina Ferlisi is a Canadian designer who helped launch the Marc by Marc Jacobs label. Like us, Ferlisi first draws by hand and then uses the computer for enhancement. Ferlisi is now the creative director of Generra, whose Spring collection can be seen here.
