For our 2011 Collection, I was inspired by San Francisco, this great city that we call home.
I tapped into vintage and modern aspects of San Francisco's architecture and history. A city that is complex and layered, indulgent yet compassionate. She's sophisticated and contemporary, romantic and balanced. The heart of our 2011 collection is filled with San Francisco.
