Indie Designer Showcase

Virginia Craddock - Revival designerIn a spacious loft in Soho last Saturday, three Manhattan indie designers teamed up for a showcase and holiday sale. At right is Revival designer Virginia Craddock in a dress of her own design. We love her retro style and form-celebrating shapes! Also present were must-see designers Isaberry and Ariella Jasmine Jewelry. Read on to see what's new in the downtown indie fashion scene and where you can purchase these three great designers!

Revival, which we reviewed before here, is a stunning collection of party and day dresses available from retailers all over New York City and beyond. The line is still developing, but has been seen at shops such as Big Drop and Lola Y Maria. Visit the Revival website to view the full collection and for designer contact information. Designer Virginia Craddock has an excellent eye for unusual shapes and shiny fabrics, and how to make them coexist harmoniously and effortlessly.

Isaberry has a diverse line of jewelry and other accessories inspired by ocean waves and the New York City Ballet -- the designer has spent most of her life in Maui and New York. Click here for her Etsy page; we love the "Chanel'd" and "Shellshocked" earrings alike.

Ariella Jasmine Jewelry is the brainchild of yet another financial disaster victim. The designer, who recently lost her job in recruiting, has now devoted all her time to her burgeoning jewelry career. Some of her pieces are her own designs, while others are antique and vintage finds -- but you can see the magically feminine Ariella Jasmine style through the entire collection. Visit her website to explore her line and see where to buy.

And for our personal favorites from the showcase, click through the gallery below!

If you're going to be in Los Angeles any time soon, a GREAT designer to look out for: Whitley Kros; worn by the likes of Rachel McAdams, Kate Hudson and Ashey Tisdale amongst others.

In the next few days they'll be having a holiday sample sale with discounts of 50-75% off and items priced as low as $3! Get full details at http://rosieluvswhitley.blogspot.com ... http://www.whitleykros.com
