Mooka Kinney A/W 08 Presentation

Mooka Kinney's A/W 08 was packed full of pretty young things who'd just gotten off work (and not in the tents). From the collection expect the usual vintage-inspired dresses for gals who haven't the time to sift through thrift stores. The presentation, which took place at a packed Hanger Bar in the East Village, was attended by the pre-Opening Ceremony party crowd and modeled by girls from Nylon, television show Arrested Development, and the musical Spring Awakening. It's a perfect example of "off site" fashion sense, where the desire to dress people of status, throw memorable parties, and be associated with like minded brands, involves an entirely different cast of characters, no matter how similar the formula.


Mooka Kinney S/S 08

If you haven't grown tired of the jumper phenomenon, may we suggest those by Mooka Kinney. These NYC gals whipped up a couple that were inspired by vintage swimsuits, the sort that you see in boutiques but never know just exactly how to pull off. Pair these with some Jil Sander sandals or some Frye boots, and you've got yourself an easy outfit. Rachel Antonoff and Alison Lewis are two pretty young things with a penchant for vintage. The pair keep it simple by designing with their favorite thrift store finds in mind, reimagining those special pieces with buttons and embroidery, silhouette alterations, or deadstock fabrics.
