SPOON Spring/Summer 2013

For the debut collection of contemporary NYC-based brand, SPOON, doodles are transformed into prints, tweeds are surprisingly seasonless, and geometric laser cut outs lend a "cool" vibe. Practicality meets comfort as a sense of "laid back luxe" prevails. Launched with rave reviews at last month's Boston Fashion Week,  designers Randi Spoon and Alexis Lawton have officially arrived in the fashion world with this first collection.

Big Thanks to both Randi Spoon and Alexis Lawton of SPOON for sharing their collection with us!
