Thuy

If there is one thing I love, it's lazy fabrics. What do I mean by "lazy"? Lazy is my interpretation of fabrics that hold no organic shape, that droop and fold in stunning, unexpected ways, not giving a care for any sense of rigidity or standards of form you try to set to it. Silk is a lazy fabric, onion-peel thin cotton; the kind of stuff you can scrunch into a tight ball, and when you release it, it's as good as it was before. Lazy, like my own heart.

However, my love for lazy fabrics often comes into conflict with my passion for heavy tailoring. I come from a family of tailors, shoemakers and seamstresses. Nothing makes my heart go a'quiver more than a garment that is exceptionally well tailored. Alas, what does one do when you love two separate schools of form.

Meet Thuy. Thuy, (pronounced "Twee") is a Parson graduate who I am quite sure shares my passion for the loose and the structured, and specifically bridging that fickle gap between. Also the progeny of tailors, Thuy's designs high tailored outfits with the softest, most flowing fabrics. The result is a collection that is a stunning example of casual and refined, an "elegant ragamuffin" style, if you will.
