Meet the Manager, Michaela Jones...

What are your favorite designers at GAVIN right now?

Michaela: Cut25, Helmut Lang, and Goldsign (I have a weird obsession with denim)


What are your top 3 favorite movies of all time?

Michaela: Off the top of my head I would have to say that my favorite cheesy love story movie is definitely Love Actually.

What trends are you looking forward for Spring 2012?

Michaela: I like the bird theme I have been seeing a lot for this up-coming spring. There's an Equipment blouse that has birds on it- its really cute, I want it.

What trends are you happy to see go? 

Michaela: Fur jackets; I'm sick of them (especially because so much of what's out there right now tends to be so cheap looking)

What Fashion blogs do you follow regularly?

Michaela: I do your standards- Elle talk, The Man Repeller, Fashion Toast, The Last Illusion

One designer you would gladly wear, any day of the week…. 

Michaela: Derek Lam

One designer you would NEVER be caught dead in would be….

Michaela: Emilio Pucci

What is the most frequently played song on your ipod these days?

Michaela: "I Need a Dolla" by Aloe Blacc- only because I just recently started to watch the HBO series, How to Make it America (its the theme song)

Check out the Aloe Blacc's song below

A Trench Story

The trench coat started many years ago in the army, with a full double breasted ten button closure. Its purpose has obviously grown since Burberry took "trenching" to an art form. Every year we at GAVIN have one trench coat typically from GRYPHON but this year we took another route. Combining our usual leather jacket and trench options in one from Graham & Spencer.

Pick of the Week

Pick: Maggie Ward Slip Jersey Dress

Why: The midi length dress and skirt trend is all over the place this fall. This piece is a good starting point because of its great price and its easy layering abilities. It looks great with all kinds of booties. Let me know what you think!!
