I  will be posting emerging and independent designers often on this blog because I like to maybe familiarize those who may be unaware of a designer whose work they may really find suits them.  Sarah Welsh and Madeline Davy, Rhode Island School of Design graduates, are two designers to be showcased at Gen Art NYC . They launched their careers creating one-of-a-kind pieces in Brooklyn in 2003. Their label, Octopi is named for the animal in its ability to transform its color, texture and shape. The clothing line is available from New York to LA and their designs and where to buy can be seen at their website octopinyc.com.

From the Spring/Summer 2007 Collection

From the Fall 2007 Collection

Heidi Klum wore a dress designed by the duo for the September 1, 2006 cover of Entertainment Weekly seen here. Appropriate wardrobe choice for the photo shoot as Project Runway is all about new talent.

BEBE shows highlights from the Fall 2007 collection at Mercedes-Benz LA Fashion Week. The inspiration being war and also the idea of peace according to designer David Cardona – toy soldiers, uniforms evident by the uniformity of the platinum wigs worn by the models that march/strut the runway. There is a ‘peace sign’ motif running throughout the collection as even the lines of the peace sign are utilized in the design of the clothes. The colors could represent different things in the war/peace theme. Cayenne for the red heat of war, military beige-green of the coat above, white for surrender or the frigidity of cold war and black for the grimmness of the reality of war. Overlaying all these representative colors are lines – lines of the peace sign that hold and construct the garment.

”It’s war and peace in more of a literal sense, rather than the Tolstoy novel,” designer David Cardona said before the show. ”It’s not period. It’s a little toy soldier meets a sexy little girl and becomes a peaceful angel.” quote source
