she will be missed, in spades
"Think, travel, celebrate, charm, decorate, dress, live – colorfully."
"Pretty and witty make the perfect pair.
"She is quick and curious and playful and strong."
"In order to lead a fascinating life one brimming with art, music, intrigue and romance; you must surround yourself with precisely those things."

Duck, Duck, Devon's Drawer!
i met Cynthia a few years ago when she was in the early phases of launching Devon's Drawer.
we were introduced through a tremendously talented womenswear designer and mutual friend, Jaga Buyan, based in L.A.
each year, i pop into the booth at Playtime New York kids fashion trade show and am drawn to the range of rich colors, cozy corduroys, warm woolens, and signature peter pan collars i recognize from my own youth.
Cynthia's line is infused with an appreciation for the artisan. a costume and textiles specialist, she is inspired by fabrics first when building her collection, then by design and detail, her years of travel to India and Asia also reflected in the palettes, patterns and prints introduced each season.
a mother and daughter(s) run company based in Los Angeles and Vancouver, Devon's Drawer has evolved very mindfully. at the New York show this week, the team took home the coveted One to Watch award bestowed upon a deserving emerging designer by Pirouette blog!
the organic and natural materials, ethical and handwoven fabrics (some recycled) and low impact dyes applied right in downtown Los Angeles make the collection stand out as both sophisticated and sustainable.
and sturdy, too! each new style is test driven by Cynthia's own family and friends, receiving not just the award from the trade but the stamp of approval from the most important critics of all, the kids who wear the clothes! and if wear and tear does occur, the team simply sends a patch kit to the rescue!
what could be better when buying than to know that these pieces are modern little heirlooms crafted with purpose and passion?
now, go out and play!

Absence \ Presence
"My clothes and the spaces they inhabit are inseparable - they are one and the same. They convey the same vision, the same message, and the same sense of values." (Rei Kawakubo 2017)

one to watch
tia cibani again boldly journeys to another place and time, deftly crafting a rich reality from the layered dreams of her truly global soul...
her fall winter collection wraps us in color from head to toe with softly striped blanket coats, coziest knit sweaters, sturdy quilted jumpers, felted hats and fluffy earmuffs to name just a few of the standout silhouettes and accessories that invite combination.
pleats, pompoms, ribbons, ruffles and other trimmings not only embellish but inspire pure beauty, magic and joy and celebrate what is unique not only in each piece of wearable art but also in the child or grown up inhabiting tia's infinite landscape.
