It may be wet and rainy out, but spring merchandise will start hitting store shelves before we know it. We asked several local designers what they’re dreaming about for the new season and what they’ll be wearing once the weather warms up. From Chanel clogs to Kitchen Aid mixers, see what gets these designers’ creative juices flowing.
Christina Tang, co-founder and designer of Kova & T
New sandals. ‘Chloe and Miu Miu have some amazing ones this season.’
The new flap bag from Chanel
Jersey lined white blazer from Kova & T’s spring 2010 line. ‘It’s so comfortable and makes any outfit look more interesting and a bit fancier.’
A silver KitchenAid mixer. ‘They make a kitchen look more refined, and I’ll bake goodies for my friends.’
Michelle Wenke, co-founder of Monrow
Christian Louboutin ‘Staratata’ heels, a Mateuse wetsuit, anything from Celine’s spring 2010 collection and sheep-herding classes for her puppy, Luna.
Megan George, co-founder of Monrow
A 2010 Maserati Spyder, hand-woven baskets from Central America and a Lanvin cashmere sweater
Martin Paquette, founder and CEO of Fluxus
Flat Top leather sunglasses by Super. ‘These black shades never go out of style, and how cool is it that they’re made from real Italian leather?’
The Love Design book. ‘A really cool book exploring the relationship between love and design.’
Pernod Absinthe. ‘Delicious and faithful to the original absinthe produced in the 1700s.’
Christina Apostolidou, designer of 291
Balmain leather cargo pants
Chanel clogs
White leather jacket from The Row. ‘This jacket is perfect to wear with the new tissue jersey long-sleeve cropped crew shirts from 291.’
Shoes from Nicholas Kirkwood. ‘My new shoe obsession!’
