find of the day/daniella kallmeyer
Daniella launched her first collection when she was only 17 and has gone on to work closely with Proenza Schouler and intern for Alexander McQueen (!!!). In 2010, after working with Alice + Olivia, she launched her first commercial capsule collection and has been rising to ranks of New York fashion up and comers ever since. A background in theater infuses her work with a particular whimsy and drama while remaining true to classic silhouettes and an androgynous feel.
Here is Spring 2012: Dark romanticism + streamline androgyny.

that face/maja hansen at NYFW
We posted about Maja a few months back as a new face out of the Pacific Northwest making a splash in New York. Look at her on the runway and at presentations for J.Crew, Miguel Androver, Mara Hoffman & Peter Som during NYFW. Chameleon, anyone? Next she heads for Milan & Paris.

WAKE features C&C jewelry by Meghann Sommer

Meghann Sommer at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show
Craft & Culture jewelry designer Meghann Sommer took a road trip from Seattle to Arizona for the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. Here are her photos and musings from the trip:
“I’m in Tucson, and I’m in heaven. Not only is it 75, sunny, and breezy, but there are white tents on every corner. Inside those tents are tables full of gems, beads, geodes, clusters, points, wands, pendulums, etc etc etc. Behind those tents there are even more tents full of even more gems and jewels, and before you know it you’ve been following a trail of tents 4 miles long.
Streets and parking lots are completely covered. Even the hotels are transformed, with each room becoming a little store of its own, occupied by a different vendor. Like the buyers, the vendors come from all over the world. My personal favorite were the Moroccans. They had the most interesting stones, the lowest prices, and if you’re a girl, lower prices still.” -Meghann
