reincarnation island style

dragonfly * tsuru * oxford

my friend recently reminded me of the work of local girl/designer, allison izu nagato, who recently returned to the islands to launch her collection(s). yep, it seems that the talented mind behind the popular reincarnation hawaii line has more than a few collections up her sleeve.

under reincarnation, allison works her magic by reworking fabric from vintage alohawear and kimono obi into distinctive patterns with a playful, art school vibe. additional details include embellishments like swarovski crystals and hand painted flourishes topping off hand dyed pieces from american apparel.

fellas can snap up something for themselves via sacred surf company which is bringing a little zen to menswear. the fashion institute of technology grad also has a highly anticipated petite denim line making its debut next month.

if you like what you see, there are a few days left to score 10% off your online order via the designer's eponymous izushop.
