REVIVAL: "Let us once again embrace the art of dressing!"

Filed under: Stores We Love, Clothing, Vintage and Retro, Dresses

Zip Transformer Shift with Moody Silk InsetsWe love REVIVAL. Designer Virginia Craddock's attitude about fashion is infectious in the way that laughter is.

From the REVIVAL website:
"Some time between the jeans revolution of the 60's and the day glow craze of the 90's, we lost our lust for true style. This modern era has erased the excitement of elbow length gloves. Forgotten is the arrogance of a pencil skirt, and the vanity of a layered, frothy party dress. REVIVAL reclaims the thrill of fashion and the transforming effect of style."
We are so into that. We are also a little obsessed with the zippers on the teal dress above. It comes in scarlet and black, too.

REVIVAL's Fall/Winter 2008 collection is full of bold shapes and bright colors that celebrate the female form. We love the drama, the textures, and the pre-retro and modern elements. You should totally pick up a REVIVAL dress for the holiday season this year, and embrace the art of putting it on, accessorizing, and creating complimentary hair and makeup! Also, if you get the above dress, embrace those zippers--so forgiving for the season of the unexpected buffet.

REVIVAL can be purchased at Big Drop, Blush, Chula-Lola, Eye of Needle, IOS, Island Passage, K-LA, Martier, Max & Prissy, Moda, Neda, Perla, Rumeur, Savvy Luxe, Suite 9B, and Turquoise.
