LAURENCE + CHICO ss16

Talk about talent! Showing for the first time on the NYFW circuit the Laurence + Chico label wowed us with creative genius. We hardly see this kind of artistic meet couture approach in the states, and so to see the collection in an intimate setting was really a treat.

Under the sea inspiration translated into illustrations that became spectacular prints in accompaniment to the finely developed apparel. Many of the spunky styles were sculpted for clever reiteration and other looks were ruffled for flair, yet some silhouettes with billowy elements fell to the softer side.

We got a chance to meet the design duo behind the striking story, married couple Laurence Li and Chico Wang. As newcomers, their aptitude is spot on, and we’re stoked to see it develop in time. Suffice to say, European based PR powerhouse Totem was behind the production and so we know this young brand is in good hands. fdmLOVES LAURENCE + CHICO selects + commentary by Brigitte Segura, written by Sarah A.
