lauren moffatt spring summer 2014

New York based fashion designer Lauren Moffatt is one of my absolute favourites. Trained in Fine Arts, the Philadelphia native left her job as a graphic designer and launched her women’s ready to wear brand in 2000. For the first two seasons, Moffatt produced her collection from her home – a 31 foot sailboat docked on New York’s Hudson River. Just based on that she's kind of my hero. Although she now works out of a proper studio in Chelsea, Moffatt’s love of fine art and modern design, as well as her unique sensibility for color, texture and detail continue to be cornerstones of her aesthetic, establishing her as one of the most coveted independent women’s designers. Above you can see my favourite pieces from her new collection - Spring Summer 2014, and you can view the full collection here. Florals, bretton stripes, matching jacquard peach culottes and cropped tees, floaty summer dresses - what more could you ask for? A stockist in London I hear you cry!? I've only ever bought pieces in New York but I hear Couveture in West London occassionally carries here work. You can of course buy online direct from Lauren Moffatt herself at laurenmoffatt.net And as if that wasn't enough, here's a little something to get you looking forward to the chillier months of the year - a sneek peak of Lauren Moffatt Fall 2014!
