I wear a slip (seamless) underneath, and I'm ready for the day or a night out depending on how I accessorize. The Georgina and Pearl are the perfect transitional pieces for...

I’ve worked in the women’s fashion industry for over 20 years. I began my career in QC (quality control) and worked my way up to Lead Designer/Creative Director. I know the ins and outs of the fashion industry and I've traveled the world looking for inspiration and sourcing product.
