I'm in LOVE

I'm SO EXCITED about the latest installment of the Birdie Skirt! This one's so hot for the season - a grey body, in my signature stretch cotton, adorned with a BIRD in hot violets sitting on a branch with warm plum flowers and leaves. Goes back to black, grey and many shades of purple!!! Available this weekend, at vive la femme.

I have been busy as bee... or a bird!

I'd like to welcome the newest store to the Redskew family : Fiero Bella in Richmond, Virginia! I also had the pleasure of meeting Myra while she was visiting Chicago.

BIRDIE SKIRT!!!!!!

Detail of my Birdie Skirt prototype. Multi-color applique on a brown back ground. Will retail for $100-$125. Working on other colorways. Please email me if you are interested, either for an individual commission or for wholesale orders at redskew@gmail.com

New Styles on their Way

Samples only right now, but these new basics will be available in very soon!

The first pic is a naughty secretary pencil skirt and the second is a naughty librarian long skirt. SO EXCITED!

No skirts, but Bracelets

I've been busy sewing a big order and making some bracelets (glass, resin, acrylic, metal, wood). The bracelets are at vive la femme right now.

Hot Skirt

This black and multi colored skirt is a great way to transition all your fun pop summer tops into fall. Warm yellow, violet, red, lime and turquoise floral on a black background is sure to be a hit! See it at vive la femme this weekend and in Seattle at Pink Ginger shortly thereafter!

New Boutique

We welcome Nikki London in Philadelphia to the Redskew family! They received their first Redskew order on Friday.

I'm busy working up a couple of new pieces for the Fall...back to the sewing machine!

Sharp!

New skirt - Navy twill with a very preppy and sharp green/white ribbon ($65). Top is Kingley and Posh ($75). Will transition into fall with a navy, white or green cardi and a tank. SO cute!

Exciting news at Redskew

My newest retail outlet, Pink Ginger, in Seattle, is already nearly sold out of Redskew skirts, and I'm working on getting her some new swatches soon.

I'm wrapping up this week's skirts for vive la femme, where we just got in the CUTEST new line of stylish workwear, Kingley and Posh! Fresia, the owner and designer, did a trunk show at vive on Tuesday and she and I had a blast chatting about design and all that good stuff.

Here is this week's skirt at VLF: a black with white leaf motif ($65), shown with Kingley and Posh Peasant Blouse ($75). Would also be fab with a red patent belt!

July

Not entirely sure how time passes so quickly!!!! Here we are, nearing the end of July, and I've got another back log of skirts to post about! I'm also working on some one of a kind hand bags and new pieces for fall.

For now, a burst of color and white in which to enjoy the dog days of summer! These skirts most easily go back to a white top, but be daring and pop a coordinating (see notes) or contrasting tank and a denim jacket for a fun look!


Chocolate and white Bandana print skirt, Redskew, $65, Karen Kane eyelet tee, $100. I would also put grass green, cherry red or sunny yellow with this chocolate brown.





















Red-orange and white floral skirt, Redskew, $65; Navy Maitai tunic, $35. I do LOVE navy with this intense color, but it many shades of blue work, as well as white or brown.




















Yellow and white graphic floral print skirt, Redskew, $65; Karen Kane eyelet blouse, $125. Purple, grey, magenta and cobalt also look hot with this yellow.

Spring 1/5

Spring has sprung at Redskew and vive la femme! Business is hoppin'! and skirts are flyin'!

Introducing my new style- 904, a 6 paneled skirt with a wide yoke. Its doing well on ladies with fuller hips and/or booties and a narrower waist.

Put it on your calendar... Redskew Skirt Salon weekend starts March 26th... I will have new samples skirts in these styles for you to try on and tons of new fabrics for you to choose from to make a skirt uniquely yours!
