stacia spring 2009

surfrider hoodie

stacy johnson, the la-based creator of stacia, also happens to pen a blog which is a most insightful read for anyone curious about life behind-the-scenes of an indie designer. the spring 09 collection has finally jumped from sketch pad to the rack and this season's kaleidoscopic colorways are inspired by both the retro fabulousness of palm springs (lilly, neutra & pucci) and the tropical glamour of stacy's island home (chameleon, ti leaf & sea salt).

stacia's spacedye knits continue to be a stylish addition to both color-happy wardrobes and neutral closets yearning for an occasional hit of textile whimsy while more eco-friendly textiles have been introduced into the mix with soybean and seaweed fibers now being coaxed along with silky bamboo into modern silhouettes designed for sophisticated yet sustainable coastal living.

alas, the stacia label is still nowhere to be found in stacy's home state so click over to the online shop to take a peek or hit the stockist list if you call the mainland home.

p.s. swooning over the earrings? 'tis the work of misa jewelry, yet another island talent who calls la la land home.
