Georgine NYFW

I was privileged to view the Georgine collection during NYFW this week. I wanted to share the collection with you as I felt the combination of rock elements and feminine silhouettes were divine.

For Spring/Summer 2017, Georgine Ratelband, designer of GEORGINE, was

inspired by the type of girl who shops at Bergdorf Goodman AND Trash & Vaudeville. “I

think it is a more interesting concept of dressing, one where luxury goods coexist with

Rock t-shirts, intricate Couture beading meets motorcycle jackets and lightweight furs

are punctuated by combat boots,” remarked Ratelband.

Keeping that in mind, Ratelband also drew inspiration from the way that young women

always pilfer the closets of their mothers, and how they would wear more classic pieces,

but with their own twist put on it. Specifically, Frances Bean Cobain and Zoe Kravitz,

who have mothers with the most incredible closets, came to mind for Ratelband when

designing this collection.
