i stared at this board for what seemed like years....
what would the spring line be? what was my inspiration? how would the story be told and what would translate to buyers in the south east?
soon, each piece begin to have a life of its own... where would i wear this? and with what? and with who? do i feel... palm beach... st. barts... soho... isle of palms? where did i want to travel next summer and what would i wear?
the story came together after several versions of the concept board below... the modern southern woman and all of her summer plans outfitted by laroque.
night before market in atlanta....
what a relief:
the collection complete.
feels like all my children the night before the first day of school, pressed and ready...
