Emerging New Designer Kate Spade Neice Whitney Pozgay Interview

How would you describe Whit? I think that I was looking a lot at how my friends dress differently, but we buy a lot of the same items. In general, I wanted to create something that people could personalize. They pieces are modern, edgy takes on feminine staples. I wanted to incorporate them with classical themes like polka dots and stripes. Also, I am always influenced by the twilight of the '60s and the dawn of the '70s. I’m always thinking of that girl.

How did your love of art inspire the collection? I was thinking of Henry Darger and the little girls in his paintings. It’s nice because I got to blend things that I’ve always liked with what was influencing me at the moment.

How does your background influence your aesthetic? I had a fantastic foundation at Kate Spade, and it’s so colorful, bright and graphic. It was such a good place to grow and build. Then I went from there to Steven Alan, which is a little bit more downtown, and I was able to indulge in my tomboy side. My own aesthetic tends to fall into the middle of the two. It’s also been great to collaborate with those I’ve worked with in the past. View Whitney's collection and read more.

Edmdesigns Gothic Romance

While christmas shopping, I discovered a really whimsical jewelry shop at Etsy. I have always been a fan of spiders and skeletons but hesitate to actually wear them. That was until I purchased a necklace and ring from Edmdesigns. The jewelry is gothic chic very easy to wear and great conversational pieces. The jewelry above are some examples of the pieces I've purchased and have grown very attach to. At the top is the Steampunk Necklace in a silver pocket watch with a copper spider sells for $125. The bottom left is the Steampunk Cuff Bracelet sells for $155 and the bottom right is the Steampunk Ring sells for $95. The the entire collection is created with vintage brass, it will not fade or tarnish. The interior portion is sealed in with resin so that is also safe for a long time to come. I usually clean my jewelry with a soft cloth and it dazzles. The shop website is www.etsy.com/shop/edmdesigns. Until next time xoxo RG.
