“Sally Go’ Round the Roses” by The Jaynetts (1963) was a song that Andy Warhol would listen to Over & Over again while painting. I drew my inspiration from a compilation of his Pre-pop drawings, sketches and the watercolors. I love his line quality and the whimsey of his Cherubs, ice cream, and cakes.

Keeping this pre-pop period in mind, I looked at a lot of photos of the 1960’s Girl Groups and how they dressed and styled themselves. 

Inspired by Bridget Bardot Glamour and Country club style, I wanted my Spring collection to have Charm and Playful Demure, capturing the spirit of the early 1960s while infusing it with a modern casualness. The blend of preppy ginghams, colorful terry, and whimsical travel prints. Pointy Pastel Stiletto shoes, Petticoats skirts, and Tulle party dresses.

Baby Blue and Powder Pink Gingham Chiffon Dress, and Terry bathing suits and polo shirts. White Lattice Lace with baby blue and pink embroidered flowers, Ribbon Roses Jacquard stripes, and Rosies Posies chiffon and eyelet embroidered denim round up our garden of fabrications. Cabbage Rose taffeta in powder pink and lemon yellow in Golf Jackets, full skirts and Bardot dresses. Florida souvenir prints, neon capri plaids, pastel tweeds, and metallic ombre plaids inject a fun, vacation element into the collection. The Neon stripes knits, Amalfi cardigans and polos layered on top of swimsuits and dresses add into this line up. Fuchsia Pink and Ocean Blue Arabesque Linen and Cabana Terry banded and belted in grosgrain appear in Jackets, Bathing suits, Wrap Skirts, Rompers, Capri pants, and Dresses.

Introducing another color story, Romantic Black Chantilly Lace with Applique lemon rosebud Slip dresses and Babydoll cover ups. Lemon Yellow and Black Rosebud printed Pique and Swim fabrics make up Capri pants, Bra-tops and Swimwear. Fluorescent Hibiscus Jacquard sun dress, Daisy embroidery on Gingham Romper. Dreamy Boudour Velvet mixed with metallic lace coverups, and dresses. Lavender and Lemon Party dresses with Tulle and lace are embellished with Ribbons and Floral Corsages.

Continuing the tradition of Anna’s Vintage Closet, we sourced vintage straw bags and hats as accessories. 

John Fluevog’s pastel-colored stilettos and Mary Janes with bows and floral bouquets perfectly complement the collection
