On a late, cold, Sunday evening, after a weekend of snow, young fashion savvy darlings gathered at the Lincoln Center to attend the show of a young up and coming designer. Jackie Fraser-Swan is based in Boston’s Newbury Street shopping district. The name of the brand “EMERSON” is her middle name as well as the name of one of her ancestors’ philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Emerson Fall 2013 Fashion Show February 10th 2013
Jackie talks about how EMERSON encourages
each woman to shamelessly indulge in her eccentric side, and there was no doubt
about it. The Fall 2013 Collection was inspired on the 90’s, it had a dark but
feminine touch. There was a focus on plaid, which is a trend that is coming
strong; tweed, leather, metallic purples, grays, black, and splashes of yellow
and red. Shirt dresses with peter pan collars. Leather panels as contrast. A
unique maxi skirt overalls and pleated skirts were the main components. The
collection was completed with simple bold cat-eye, loose ponytails and
elaborated nail art.
I truly admire the juxtaposition of soft feminine, which you can see in
all of her collections. That is what defines her brand and makes it fun and
daring.
