New Oonagh by Nanette Lepore

New Oonagh by Nanette Lepore

Oonagh just keeps delivering the most amazing pieces including Fall’s collection of wool and cashmere sweaters and dresses.

JUST IN:

The Matteo Sweater Dress (see above photo on right) with it’s draped shoulder, cut-out detail offset by the ribbed sleeve is sure to be paired with the new pattern tights of the season.  We are thinking a fishnet stripe or leopard in black from Commando.

The Santo

The Santo

The Salvatore (see above photo left) is the perfect mix of beautiful, soft cashmere in a menswear inspired piece. A double – zip hoodie with an attached button up vest in a contrast color is a must for those who love a hoodie, but want to step up to a more feminine silhouette. We love it layered over the faux fur jacket from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent.

The Santo (shown right here) is available in denim blue – the perfect mix of navy and heather grey really shows the exposed seams.  We love it paired with a bright top underneath and worn off the shoulder as shown. It can also be worn on the shoulder with the exposed details in the front. Either way, this piece is a more than extraordinary.

Nanette Lepore does it again with new line: Oonagh

Newly Arrived Collection! In Store Now. Available Online Soon.

Oonagh, meaning “pure” in Scottish, is the newest diffusion line from Nanette Lepore. Mostly known for her bohemian mix of prints and patterns and eclectic details and embellishments, this line is a departure from what we all consider “Nanette”.  Her traditional collection of tailored suits with ruffles and flirty cami’s with beading most certainly have a place in all our closets somewhere- some more prominent that others – which is why Nanette ventured into a different realm with her new line, Oonagh.

Oonagh is more than just your basic tee and tunic line.  The line is the perfect fusion of what you expect from Nanette’s quality and style but with a young and fresh twist.  Slouchy styles, criss cross strapping, bold pops of color and stripes that actually flatter the figure.  All is a jersey or blend, these tops and tunics are the perfect pieces to wear back to your leggings with boots or flats.  In some cases, some of the pieces are great blended with – dare we say – embellished denim such as the studded pocket and motocross styles.

Already a celebrity and press darling, Oonagh is making a statement by being more than just your basic tee shirt line by reaching an audience Nanette has never been able to reach before: the more casual dresser. Some have even ventured to say Nanette has actually broken into the “tough girl” fashionista wardrobe.

If you have been been a fan of Nanette in the past or are new to the designer or if you are one of the above mentioned styles,  this line will live up the highest expectations and promises to not disappoint.

We expect our first shipment in Early February 2010. Sign up for our email newsletter to get the first look at this amazing new line.
