Fashion Crush: SUNO

When I first saw this line the saying "it's not what you do, but how you do it " immediately came to mind. Designers Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty are certainly not the first designers to experiment with bold patterns and pops of color or ethnic prints, but they are certainly the first duo to do it in the manner of which they have. The pieces do not have that "leave it to the experts" feel to them as some who are afraid of mixing color and patterns at risk of looking like a clown would believe. The idea that the collections by Osterweis and Beatty are collections of several different pieces such as jackets, skirts, dresses and pants, is a great one because there are many ways the pieces can be worn. Look for the line at luxury retailer Barneys New York. BTW, while checking out pics of the SS2011 collection below, peep the cute colorful wedges and flats that the models are rocking. According to Style.com, the shoes are the result of a collaboration between SUNO and shoe (accessory and clothing) designing duo Loeffler Randall, and they will be available in the Spring for purchase.
