The female personas of good & bad girl collide in Stella &
Jamie's deliciously vibrant collection. Launched in 2007, the Creative
Director and New York Fashion Institute of Technology alumna, April Mun, drew
inspiration from her then assistants, Stella - the edgy "rocker chic" &
Jamie - the sweet "southern bell". The two girls represented the opposing sides
of female sexuality, which many women experience. Mun combined the two
contradictory sides and thus, Stella & Jamie was born- a
beautiful balanced line of sweet & edgy aesthetics that offered a fix for
the feminine contradiction. The initial collection was made up of edgy rocker
leather motorcycle jackets paired with beautiful printed-silk dresses. The
collection was instantly adored by the fashion industry and
Hollywood's elite, such as Lea Michele,
Kourtney Kardashian, Christina Aguilera, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Fergie,
and more!
Painted in a pallet of bright pinks, tangerines and turquoises, the Spring '14 collection is filled with light-weight tops, comfortable and sophisticated bottoms, and form fitting sheath dresses. Stella & Jamie's Rock Collection offers casual everyday pieces for a shopping trip or day on the boardwalk with a modern sophistication and a relaxed Californian easy-chic style.
Fast forwarding to Fall '14, Stella & Jamie offers an array of trendy outwear made of tweeds, leathers and faux furs with a splash of deep cobalt blue and plum exerted amongst the repertoire of dresses and separates. Mun undoubtedly takes the brand to another level with her creativity and intricate workmanship to deliver fashion forward items. "My goal is to create a line that evokes a world of contemporary glamour and beauty, with a predilection for rich textures, modern lines and attention to a woman's body," she says. "I can't wait to see what's next." Stella & Jamie is sold at Kitson, Shopbop.com, Nordstrom and more ($78-$545. www.stellaandjamie.com).
