Danielle Everine releases Fall 2011 lookbook

The lookbook from Danielle Everine's Fall 2011 capsule collection, "Call Me Ishmael," is has just been released. It's more than a few months late, but few can blame the very busy designer (who is currently working on pieces to debut at the upcoming YSL retrospective at the Denver Art Museum). The seafaring-inspired line is gorgeously captured by local photographer Eliesa Johnson against a waterfront background, and the pared down, natural styling was a perfect choice. Click here for my review of the collection, which debuted with a humble in-store fashion show at Cliché last October. Better late than never, I say.

It will feature fine-art installations by Photogen Inc. and Rivets and Roses, fashion designer Tara LaTour, floral designers Munster Rose, filmmakers Capture Studios and stationer Paperista, plus complimentary copies of the latest issue of Minnesota Bride, tunes from Flow DJ, treats from Cocoa & Fig and sparkling cider from Crispin.
