Chanced upon this interview with designer Abigail Lorick (who also designs the clothes for Eleanor Waldorf in Gossip Girl). Her label Lorick is really adorable and she’s quite a looker herself!
Here’s a slightly edited version of the interview from lastnightsparty:
Bronques: Are you the next big thing?
Abigail: Some people are saying that.
What do you design?
I design a women’s contemporary ready to wear line.

I don’t know if it’s the anticipation of spring/summer-ish clothes or the realisation that we’re 3 years away from turning 30 but WL and I have recently been quite taken by colourful outfits. Cheerful shades that perhaps make us feel further away from the milestone? I’ve been turning up for work in colours and the ocassional neons while WL has been decked out in [...]
Dressing up pear shape girls part II
For Work: Go for pants with a slight flare and make sure they fit you nice and snug at the hips and butt. You can typically find such fit through straight cut pants (not bell-bottoms, no!).
