I sort of stumbled across this designer, Timo Wieland on my Charleston trip-Hampden Clothing carries the line and has the dress pictured above. I was really taken with this number, it's such a great summer dress-good for a cookout or seeing a concert. In doing more of my obsessive research, I found that Timo Weiland is a person (from Nebraska) and a design duo consisting of Timo from Nebraska and Alan Eckstein of New York. The two share a "mutual interest in European history, travel, and a flair for dapper dressing", which influences their designs. They value the "art of dressing". I respect that. Anyhoo, I found that much of their work is different than the dress that initially spurned my research-there are clean lines and more structure to many of their pieces. I'm into it. The coat is to die for. Looking forward to seeing what their future seasons produce.
