Historically Influenced Designs


1.  Inspired by men's wingtip shoes (especially popular in 1950s), these heels are striking in casual and semi-formal wear.

2.  Popular in the 1930s, especially for those emulating Katherine Hepburn's trademark style (Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby), these high waist, wide leg pants are now a staple for a modern business-woman.

3. Introduced in the 1920s for little girls, yet gaining popularity for adult women into the 1940s, the Peter Pan collar has made its way through the fashion cycle again and again.
