Autumn 2009 – Staff Picks

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Shown:
Fleur Tie Tunic // Claribel Drape Dress

There’s an odd moment at the beginning of each season when the new samples return from their respective showrooms and the employees of Stewart+Brown slip into an every-girl-for-herself mentality, descending upon the samples with gleaming eyes and grabbing hands. Okay, it’s not that bad, but we do go into a bit of a frenzy about getting first dibs on the new Fall product and here’s what we picked. In keeping with Fall’s theatrical “Re-Capture” theme, you’ll find each fall pick taking center stage amidst a variety of bucolic fall back-drops.

Georgia Jacket Dress

Paris: Art Director
“Its a jacket, its a dress, its the best.”

Shown:
Claribel Drape Dress

Angie: Customer Service
“The perfect winter dress to wear, everywhere and anywhere. It’ll definitely be my go-to piece for when I don’t know what to wear or what to pack in my travel bag. The fabric is amazingly soft and the draping makes this style flattering on every body type. I plan on wearing this style for all my special occasions with some fun tights and my favorite pair of boots or heels!”

Shown:
Long Merrow Tank // Astor Cardigan

Carol: Development
“I would wear the astor cardigan layered with a bright tank underneath, like the printed long merrow tank. The cardigan is super versatile so I’d wear it anywhere! — work, dinner, late-summer BBQ’s in the evening…it’s perfect for anyone that wants to dress comfortably but still look cute and stylish!”

Bronte Cardigan

Laura: Web
“I’m into the bookish appeal of this cardigan and I’m a sucker for a sweater with big roomy pockets. I dare you to find me without this winter.”

Shown:
Robin Hooded Coat

Rose: Development
“I love this coat for its cute silhouette and charming printed details that peek out from the inside. It’s made with a warm fleecy organic cotton blend fabric and has side pockets hidden in the pleat seams. A coat as nice as this one is a reason to look forward to the cooler weather.”

Shown:
Jordie Cowl Neck

Jennifer: Marketing
“At first I was not sure about the cowl neck, but as soon as I tried it on, I loved it. Hemp Jersey is one of my favorite materials that we work with because it is the most sustainable option thus far and it is super uber comfy and I like comfort.”

Fleur Tie Tunic

Emily: Customer Service
“I love the new Fleur Tie Tunic because the 100% organic pima is soft and one of my favorite fabrics, not to mention its romantic-modern style and the great versatility in how the piece can be worn on its own like a dress or paired with leggings or jeans…I’ll take one in every color please!”
