| NYFW - Creatures of the Wind Fall 2012 RTW |
Shane Gabier and Chris Peters picked up a runner-up prize from the CFDA/Vogue
Fashion Fund last November. The Chicago-based duo is no doubt getting
advice from all sides now on how to turn their tiny label into a
thriving bigger business. In a preview of their Fall collection they
pointed to new pieces with more-accessible-than-usual price tags, like
stripey mohair sweaters, silk slipdresses made in collaboration with
Araks Yeramyan, and an A-line popover top in clashing prints (which,
admittedly, was paired with a skirt made of expensive French brocade).
But standing in the crowd today in the refectory of the Desmond Tutu
Center in Chelsea (a stunning room), it was clear that they aren't
compromising an inch on their unique, offbeat vision. Read the full review here.
