Ian and Sophia supported and inspired me to create these lines of belts.  Simple and true... We can all find an inspiration if we look hard enough.  Mine was literally sitting under my nose.

Fashion is cyclical (as exemplified by the photos below.)  I decided that I wanted to design and re-create the belts that my mother wore in the early 1970’s. That is, my Mom’s belts with a little edge of my own.

My True Incentive

My Nana was my true fashion inspiration.  She knew how to wear clothes and no matter where she went, she looked great.  To this day, a bright red jacket, a crisp white shirt, a pair of black patten leather sling backs and yellow swing coat will always remind me of her.  She always had the perfect accessories and wore her clothes like they were made for her.
