Warm... Heatherette

Perhaps it is fond memories of club-tramping around the French Quarter's Lower Decatur with glorious boys named Atomic! and lascivious wanton women like the NOLAdies (two featured), or just my childhood dreams of drama and spotlights; regardless, the outlandish and outrageous style of New York's dynamic duo, Richie Rich and Traver Rain, and their label, Heatherette, remains one of my most anticipated lines every season.

Their style reflects the ephemeral nature of the club scene, capturing in their outfits the glorious and destructive nature of submerging yourself in to the scene. Their ability to contrast and coordinate prints may be bold and shocking to the sober eye, and a vision of beauty to intoxicated mind. Their collections are atypical of the seasonal trends, reflecting instead the ever growing and dynamic nature of subcultural America. Their Fall 2007 Ready To Wear line is available on Style.com.
