Grassini Launches New Brand
Los Angeles–based designer Corinne Grassini has been busy of late. Earlier this year, she partnered with specialty retailer Naked to create 0-41, an exclusive line of contemporary apparel. Now, the designer, whose quirky-cool line Society for Rational Dress sells in specialty retailers around the globe, is debuting Guild, a secondary line of jersey tops.
Guild’s ethereal colors and feather-light fabrics are toughened up with metal chains. The wispy, sheer fabric is allowed to billow in an oversized sweatshirt. Chains cinch the waist of a boyfriendsized T-shirt. Racerback tanks feature bronze studs.
The line bowed at the D&A Annex show on June 9–12 in Los Angeles. For more information, call (213) 614-9292. —Erin Barajas
