Dear Diane and Shaded Viewers,
Ask Jackie Fraser-Swan what her inspiration for SS14 was and your answer is sure to be: A group of punk rock kids crashed a private garden on the Upper East Side where the Ramones were playing a secret show.
"I have been in love with punk/hardcore music since I was 15 years old, and that music has had a major impact on who I am and what I stand for," the designer explains.
Fraser-Swan injected conventionally preppy styles with a dose of attitude via leather accents, flashes of flesh and eye-popping colour for a collection that is one part Blitzkrieg Bop-er, one part Park Avenue shopper.
Later,
Carla
