EGO SOLEIL FASHION LAUNCHES SPRING COLLECTION
Designer Blaine Degannes, whose studio is located in North Park, designed a new collection with versatile women in mind. “When I was designing this line, I was thinking about the woman wearing the clothes, her love of flexibility in these designs because she works hard and plays hard and often needs versatile designs she can wear from day into the evening,” said Degannes. Now available at Vocabulary in Little Italy, Degannes is looking into other Uptown boutiques for his collection. Degannes also describes the collection as “a bit of androgyny with subtle references to twenties, forties, and sixties, the patterns are cut into fabrics that present an expression of character, forcing you to sit up and pay attention, to deconstruct the familiar.”
