There are so many great designers saved in my Etsy, that many times I accidentally rediscover old favorites. Such is the case for artLAB (who also manages Patricia Ayres as well).
What I love about artLAB is how the pieces have this simplicity to them while also projecting luxury and architect. When I picture myself wearing them, I get this (perhaps vain) image of myself as “that woman”– that woman you see & think all woman in her city must dress like that, that she epitomizes her city’s style. The pieces are raw and chic, with these influences that remind me of medical wear and industrial designs.
While I absolutely adore the above ruffled bib harness, I could totally see Jordana/Clutch 22 wearing it so well, too. The ruffled collar gives me visions and fantasies for Mardi Gras costumes, while the cincher? It really just makes me kind of swoony…. it seems I haven’t gotten over my fixation with ruffles (and I doubt it will happen any time soon).
