Launching for Holiday 2013, the Jennifer Humiston collection combines
modern elegance and simplicity with luxurious fabrics and beautiful
craftsmanship. A fan of fashion from a young age, Humiston was most drawn to the iconic
fashions of the past that she would see in the movies and as she delved into her
studies as an Art History major at USC, Humiston observed a tremendous crossover
between art and fashion as means of expression. She learned very early on that
understanding art from the past could translate to the present and be completely
relevant. Combining her studies with her passion, she applied principles of
line, color, and form to create clothes that could allow the wearer to say
something about herself. "I wanted to present that memorable well-crafted piece
that women like me could base an outfit around; that classic garment that can be
layered with scarves, jewelry, accessories, and shoes to really reflect each
and every fashionista's individuality in their own personal way," Humiston
says.
Consisting
of five styles, each dress gives Humiston's consumer a finely crafted garment
with timeless appeal. For the ultimate trendsetter look, try the Alexa as
its cobalt blue silk crepe de chine with softly gathered skirt is contrasted by
black silk crepe de chine long princess sleeves, and accented by black silk
charmeuse neckline. Be classy in the Chanel-inspired Jenny dress made of
soft ivory "Linton Tweed" with subtle flecks of shimmering white. The dropped
waist gives way to a softly pleated skirt with ivory silk charmeuse piping
accents at the drop waist, jewel neckline and sleeveless arm holes. For a more laid back look, slip on the Maria-
a casually-draped navy blue cotton bodice with long sleeves and a classic drop
waist skirt of gently gathered aqua silk. For that cocktail chic attire, dress
up in the Kathryn - available in ruby or black tweed with subtle
flecks of shimmering silver; the classically-tailored piece has extended capped
shoulders rising from the squared neckline that gradually plunge down the back
to the waist. Lastly, don Jennifer Humiston's elegant hero piece, the
Elizabeth-a sophisticated gown designed with midnight navy silk crepe de
chine with a classic dropped waist to softly gathered midnight navy and black
iridescent silk chiffon.
Made
in America, every dress is created by professional seamstresses, giving Humiston
complete control over the entire design process. "Not only can I insure the
working conditions of my employees, I can make any necessary changes as the
dress is being sewn or cut, encouraging constant evolution of my designs. I can
redefine each style with new fabrics and colorways as often as I want, and I
take pride in constantly reinventing my staple pieces so each and every girl can
feel unique in the piece she is wearing," Humiston says. The line will be available on the week of November
25 at select boutiques and online (Prices will Range from $295 to $425,
