Style Sleuth: 23.03.09 - Rose La Biche

I wanted to share with you all this wonderful designer I discovered some time ago over on Etsy. Rose La Biche is the label of French designer Lucy, currently based in San Francisco. This is a girl after my own heart - specialising in chic, elegant and fresh t-shirts - her designs incorporate wonderful design flourishes that hit my aesthetic buttons. Or as she so eloquently puts:

Creating this apparel line came out of my urge for elegant yet edgy basics as a refreshing alternative to trendy look-alike mass-produced pieces. I create each new design with the idea of a balance between 'wow factor' and 'everyday wearable'. Creative shapes + sober color for a clean finish to wear up or down : that's what Rose La Biche is about!

Lucy prides herself on quality - testing all her designs thoroughly before putting them up for sale. She also uses the best quality garments from Amercan Apparel - and better yet they are all machine-washable.

Rose La Biche is testament to good design becoming glorious through the art of a beautiful photograph. All her designs are styled beautifully with gorgeous lighting and backdrops - to better showcase the garments. Never under estimate the power of a bloody good image to sell your designs (jewelry, clothing, bags...). People want to buy into an image/lifestyle - not just a product. And there are plenty of people out there who wouldn't know how to put together an outfit either - a great photo helps people visualise your product in their wardrobe.

I certainly want to buy up her entire collection!
