Designers & Companies you need to know about

Here are a list of some of our favorite designers in the recent months who seem to be right on target with all the top trends.

1. Tory Burch
Tory Burch was founded in 2004 with ready-to-wear, handbags, jewelry, and shoes after one of the co-founders, Tory Burch. This line has impressed us over the past few years and in 2010, they can't do any wrong in our eyes. The price point is competitive and the quality is outstanding. After the popularity of the 2006 signature ballet flat, their popularity has grown and the collections are amazing. The clothes are wearable and fashion forward from leather dresses to the most amazing totes, and seem to fit everyone so well.

2. Hunter
Hunter started out as a Scottish company focused on the British clientele, offering functional waterproof footwear for the rainy and overcast weather. They have recently embraced the current times and have tried, successfully, to update their look and target mass markets around the world. This year, the basic rain boot as taken a twist by adding wedges, heels, and fashionable details that make a rain boot an "in" look for the fall and winter season. There are different texture and color options available that help go with anything in your wardrobe. Instead of bring a pair of rain boots to change in to, Hunter rain boots can be worn all day long and still keep your fashionable edge.
3. Alice + Olivia
Alice + Olivia was launched by Stacey Bendet in 2002 as a line of pants. The co-founder of Theory realized her potential and joined the team and developed it into a full collection. The items from Alice + Olivia are funky and eclectic in design but not over-the-top. They are quirky and a bit younger looking fashions that appeal the many ages. The bright colors and prints make for a wonderful spring and summer line. We worked with a lot of A + O pieces this past spring and summer and I know we will again next year.
4. Michael Kors
Michael Kors is like the new Ralph Lauren. He has a style of elegance and sophistication that appeals to all audiences. His shoes and handbags are just as amazing as his clothing line. His popularity on Project Runway has only made him more well-know and admirable. He is a household name now and his collections back it all up. Michael was bound be a fashion star after getting into the industry at 19 and starting his own line in 1981. It started as strictly clothing, but has since expanded to accessories, shoes, handbags, menswear, fragrance, and more. Even after all these years, his ideals of creating chic American sportswear have never been questioned.

5. Elie Tahari
Elie Tahari is a great line of sophistication and simplicity. We are constantly purchasing Elie Tahari pieces for our more professional clients or to obtain the basics for everyone. There is no better fitting black pant than that of Elie Tahari in addition to the femininity of his delicate blouses. The clothing line also runs small so it is great for our smaller clients. Elie, an orphan from Israel, moved to New York in the 70's and began making clothes in 1973. In 2003 the official Elie Tahari collection was launched and since then all of his collections have remained timeless while keeping up with current trends.
