Shaina Mote – 2010 Lookbook
Shaina Mote is a self taught seamstress who’s focus is on creating earth friendly, limited addition pieces. She began designing clothes from discarded pieces using the materials from such things as old tee shirts. This upcycling is how her creative process began. After some time in Paris she returned to the states to begin her small line of clothing. Each garmet is handmade in LA. All pieces are constructed from hand selected dead-stock textiles, making each one of about 100 or less that will be produced. All pieces are numbered to ensure the uniqueness of the design. I simply adore those royal blue shorts. Shake it Shaina.

New from Need Supply
Need Supply started in 1996, selling a unique collection of vintage Levi’s. Over time their selection has evolved from an eclectic mix of hard-to-find vintage apparel to an extensive selection of premium street wear and contemporary brands. Need Supply is my one of my favorite clothing shops out there right now, ready to wear fashion at a good price. Here is a sample of the women’s summer collection, however the men’s and women’s shoes and accessories are well worth the trip over to Need Supply. Shake it.

Lyell- Fashion Look Book
NYC’s Emma Fletcher designs for her label, Lyell. “Lyell has the fine details of early century clothing, but the shapes can be quite modern.” Ultra-feminine details like pleats and pin-tucks add interest and a sense of fun to otherwise everyday blouses and pencil skirts. Everything from her vintage-inspired silk dresses and blouses, to her beautifully tailored coats are constructed with a sense of glamour, sensuality, and edge. Shake it Emma.
