q is for qute

so despite the fact that i really don’t need any more clothes....and currently have no means
to purchase any (slight set-back).

i just stumbled across this designer in my new nylon magazine and i have fallen
straight up shakespeare’s- romeo- and- juliet in love.

which we’re taught to assume falls slightly above the line of superficial.


it is called quail. it’s a 60's inspired line created by self-taught designer michelle nguyen, who chose to name the line ‘quail’ because of the hipster slang it stood for in the 60's (it meant woman or girl).

it started last spring and according to nylon, "juxtaposes structured chic with a post-modern edge". the magazine quotes ms. nguyen in describing her line as ""a balance of feminine silhouettes with loosely constructed ones, like a high-waisted, hourglass skirt with an oversize tank."

love it.

these are my favorite pieces from the website (http://qisforquail.com) but her pieces are stunning and genius and i believe a slight girl crush is forming.
