Breezy’s signature accessory: “My black lipstick and some crazy Coco & Breezy shades.”

Ferociter featured in TimeOut NY e-shop


Local accessories designer Aimee Dukes gets some love from TimeOut NY this week. Her scarf necklace from her line Ferociter (a personal favorite of mine) is being featued in the magazine's e-shop. The scarves were a hit locally last year when they were sold at ROBOTlove. (I also used them to style an event for Ignite Models Inc.) It's quite the coup for the designer, whose design was apparently ripped off by Urban Outfitters last year.

TimeOut NY says: "Minneapolis artist Aimie Dukes uses vintage fabric to craft her one-of-a-kind retro unisex neck candy that even the most deficient scarf-wrappers can master."

Each scarf is one-of-a-kind so if you order, there's no telling what you'll get! The scarves retail for $32 a piece at promo.shopopensky.com.
