During our journey as designers, we’ve had the amazing opportunity to meet and network with some of the most talented people in the fashion industry. We are truly amazed by the sheer number of creative minds trying to build fashion brands…and we know how tough and competitive it is to do just that. Featured on our blog today, are ready-to-wear pieces by one of our all-time favorite designers, Raoul. Raoul is a homegrown fashion and leather goods brand that made its international debut at the 2010 New York and Paris Fall/Winter shows. Ever since, Raoul has been creating a buzz with its sleek take on contemporary affordable luxury womenswear. The brainchild of Douglas and Odile Benjamin, each Raoul collection is creatively directed by the dynamic husband and wife team.

Here we’re wearing Raoul’s Spring 2015 Collection, which found its inspiration in Surrealism - not so much the art movement, but the juxtaposition of ideas and surprising elements like “illusion” and the concept that things aren’t exactly as they seem…So cool! We chose pieces that mixed white with a metallic rose gold because we are in love with white and metallics for spring! To complete the outfits, we matched some of our fun and quirky Stella Valle pieces with Raoul’s beautifully tailored clothing. Ashley’s jewelry includes the Latvia Lip collar, The Year 2050 cuff, The Year 2051 cuff, two of The Year 2071 rings, and The Year 2070 ring, while Paige is wearing our Lights at Night earrings and the Delsey cuff. All together, these pieces truly create a metallic match made in heaven!

Lots of Love,
Ashley & Paige
