Lauren Moffatt





I knew about Lauren Moffatt's work during my visits to Jumelle, one of my favourite stores in Williamsburg to see what's going in the fine women's fashion. They have a nice selection of her creations but never before i was tempted to know more about her until yesterday, when i found a nice navy blue dress (the one in the picture is pink though) and decided to google her name.

Some pieces are too H&M-ish and classy for me, but in general it is a label i enjoy and like. The pieces are quite vintage looking and the quality is excellent.

It seems Lauren Moffatt started her own fashion line sewing herself the items from her sailboat home docked in NYC's Hudson River. Now those days are over and her label is sold in places like Victoria (Australia), London, Paris or Montreal.

The Spring 07 collection is probably one of the nicest; Perfect dresses for an early vacation in the French Riviera.

I would say these dresses are less edgier versions of Peter Som's creations.

And that Dov Charney campaign for AA is a jolt. Poking fun at his harassment charges. I would expect nothing less.
