Sibling Rivalry

Soni & Cindy

First comes love — for sisters Sonia and Cindy Huang, who joined forces to create a fall collection of girly separates.

Before launching their NYC-centric line, Soni built her resume working at showrooms (Chloé, Hugo Boss, Satine), while Cindy designed for DVF.

From their East Side boutique, Suite Orchard, the girls fabricate romance, darkness, humor, and edge in Peter Pan jumpers, peacoats with shawl collars, and puff-sleeve tops.

Then comes starbursts (referred to as Rock Starry Night) and skull cameo prints, jewel tones (amethyst and sapphire), generous cuts, precious details (heart buttons, oversize bows), hidden pockets, and reasonable price tags.

Aw, you’re falling hard for it already.

Available at Suite Orchard, 145a Orchard Street, at Rivington Street (212-533-4115); Henri Bendel, 712 Fifth Avenue, at 56th Street (212-247-1100). To see styles, go to soniandcindy.com.
