elliott ward-fear

behold, the ss/11 collection from 21yr old australian designer elliott ward-fear, "spirit of clothing." nothing like scalloped chaps and heart-shaped ass-less lavender skinny pants to add a bit of whimsicality to one's day.

check out this great interview with the designer on dazed digital.

i was quite thrilled to receive a call from neiman marcus chicago's pr director, tina koegel, the other night, which ultimately resulted in the opportunity to chat and have lunch with french designer roland mouret this thursday. an incredible designer, i can't wait to talk to him about reclaiming the rights to his own name (crazy, right?) and the opening of his first ever flagship store in london next year. in honor of this exciting event, i thought i'd post some of my favorite looks from his ss/11 collection.
