Stars + Ravens Debut Collection
Felix and Oscar. Sam and Diane. Paula and DJ Skat Kat.
Maybe opposites really do attract.
Sarah Borruso, whose debut collection, Stars + Ravens, just launched online, clearly agrees. The SF native and Parsons grad plays seamlessly with juxtapositions, marrying Victorian-era style with sinuous Summer of Love looks.
Her silk georgette Tie and Untie dress mixes a bold geometric shape with flirty straps that can cross at the back or tie at the neck. And just for kicks, she adds a dash of ’80s punk — like the oversize safety pin on the cashmere East Meets West cape or the Now shoulder bag’s metallic-linen exterior and blazing neon-pink interior.
All in all, the opposing elements make for an ultra-mod look.
And that ain’t fiction, it’s a natural fact.
