Karolina Zmarlak Fashion Show

This past Sunday afternoon, I had the pleasure of attending a Karolina Zmarlak trunk show at a lovely home in town. It was an honor to meet the designer, swoon over her gorgeous pieces, and sip champagne overlooking the ocean. Champagne and fashion? This lady was in heaven!

I love the sleek lines of her designs, and the black and white geometric shapes are timeless. I was thrilled to preview her Fall 13 collection, bursting with leather, exposed zippers, and calf hair. In case you are not familiar, here is a little background on Karolina: 

Karolina Zmarlak is a Polish Ready-to-Wear designer who creates her clothing in honor of the individual with pieces that are variable and expressive. Cutting new, exciting forms of clothing and taking the ideals of the made-to-measure process, her designs permit personalization through the wearer’s ability to interact with the garment.  Karolina’s strong, enduring style results from subtraction cutting, playing with dimension and shape, origami-based forms, and the clean lines of forward silhouettes.  A Gen Art Styles winner and FIT graduate, Zmarlak honed her skills during time spent at Carolina Herrera and Theory. Her first Ready-to-Wear collection was launched in the Fall of 2009. - via
