| One of my faves, Topher tank and Alexander pants. Yes mother, I know I'm too short for the pants. I don't care. |
I lived and worked in Savannah for several years in a boutique on Broughton Street, which is sort of the "Main Street" of the downtown historic district. Savannah is a beautiful, sort of haunted city. There are so many beautiful buildings and parks and squares, but there is still a lot of work to be done to restore some of these lovely structures. One thing I think people may not realize about Savannah is that SCAD-the Savannah College of Art and Design-has been absolutely instrumental in restoring many of these gorgeous homes and buildings to their former glory. They've turned many of the buildings into classroom and admin facilities; I would say that they have been the single-most important entity in the revitalization of this port city. SCAD is a highly acclaimed art and design school, and in addition to their contributions to the infrastructure of the city, the school brings with it some of the most interesting and talented artists in the South. (Or anywhere, really).

I happened to mostly employ fashion students at my store, all of whom were fabulously talented and always entertaining. One of these ladies has recently partnered with another former classmate to launch their own label out of NYC. (Obviously my guidance was instrumental in this!) The line, Rae Francis, was founded by Ariel Lilly and Christina Coniglio, and is very much a clean "uptown meets downtown" kind of look. After perusing the lookbooks, I'm loving the sleekness of the line. A lot of the pieces could go from work to cocktails. These are some of my favorite looks from their upcoming Fall and Holiday collections.
