The Spring
Now that the winter's gone, the
earth hath lost
Her snow-white robes, and now no
more the frost
Candies the grass, or casts an
icy cream
Upon the silver lake or crystal
stream;
But the warm sun thaws the
benumbed earth,
And makes it tender; gives a
sacred birth
To the dead swallow; wakes in
hollow tree
The drowsy cuckoo, and the
humble-bee.
Now do a choir of chirping
minstrels bring
In triumph to the world the youthful Spring.
Poem by Thomas Carew
I was born 4 days
after spring.
It's one of those
seasons that breaks the quiet dormancy with it's light. It brings a smile to my
face to see little green shoots sprouting all about the earth and buds forming
on the branches of neighborhood trees.
It's a new awakening...you can feel the
anticipation of new life emerging all around you...
Spring on the West Coast is particularly lovely.
The magnolia trees, the wide variety of cherry blossoms...one can't help but feel lifted with the thought of summer around the bend...
I've lived on the West Coast for over 20 years now and I feel so fortunate to have been surrounded with such an abundance of nature. The beauty of the West Coast definitely creates a calm within the spirit which I think attributes to the care free spirits that inhabit this part of the world.
As a designer, it seems only natural to create a
Spring Collection inspired by the West Coast.
For Spring Summer 2015 I wanted to capture the free spirit and rocker chic vibe of the music festival scene, while incorporating a natural look so synonymous with West Coast Living.
I love the Woodstock era and all things wild child. I wanted this new collection to be reminiscent of that era, but with a light and airy modern touch.
The Nico Kimono is hands down my favourite piece from the Spring-Summer 2015 collection. Made from vintage fabrics, the contrast lining and collar details make this kimono light and versatile.
