Favorite Designer: Lilly Pulitzer

Hello,

My name is Magen Lambeth and I am a freshman in the CARS Program. It is hard to narrow down and pin-point just who my favorite designer is, due to the fact that my taste changes very frequently. It is simply an ever evolving thing! However, at the current moment in time, one of my favorite designers is Lilly Pulitzer. From her clothes to her accessories and footwear, I love it all! Her style is a little golf, meets classic, meets feminine.

From her Summer 08' collection of womens wear it was all about bold colors and prints. The majority of the collection was dresses, most being of the casual nature, while others could have easily been dressed up for a special occasion or a night out. Alot of her dresses have a 70's vibe to their shapes, especially the necklines. Her use of feminine florals in bold colors add a touch of play to the overall nature of the garment. Her womens style is always fresh, clean, and simply pretty no matter the season.

Not only does she make a line of womens wear, but she also does menswear. Her menswear is an equal match to her womens attire, by utalizing the bold prints and colors in a playful way, yet still maitaining a masculine design. However, not every man is so bold with his choices in garment. Her young girls wear is nothing far from utterly adorable! Its just like the womens wear only smaller in size. My favorites would have to fall under her accessories. Her handbags are colorful and unique, as well as her footwear and jewelry. You could also mix and match any of her acessories and you would always be able to pair it with any of her other clothing pieces. She creates wearable pieces that are suitable for almost any occasion and for the everyday woman, even man, and child!
