this emerging designer’s clothing makes me gasp. if you look up rosie assoulin you may start to recognize some of her pieces on the regularly featured street style set- not to date myself but this garb is MAJOR. it’s shockingly hard to come by an evening gown that reads cool, elegant, and upscale- if i saw a girl wearing one of these at a wedding i would drown in jealousy- i want to go there first! she’s still on the brink of big, not sold at any of the big department stores yet, but a close friendship with man repeller, and a cfda award nomination in hand her line is surely set to hit the floor at barney’s in a new york minute. aside from dresses i’m really digging the evening tops (such as the one right above) great option for a pant ensemble, and silk board shorts? ummmm so obviously a yes.
