Gladys Perint Palmer, Executive Director of the School of Fashion at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, is not only a journalist and illustrator but also a living legend.

Kind of obsessed with this new line out of NYC. Contrarian New York is in its third season and is designed by Alexis Laken who has a great eye for cuts and details. The line sells at Intermix, Shopbop, Gregory’s and select specialty stores nationwide. Spring Summer 2011 above.
