THE OTHER HALF OF FOUNDING FATHERS OF TROVATA
JEFF HALMOS (L), SAM SHIPLEY--ONE OF OUR MANY LOVES (R)
AS YOU KNOW, LA*SURFPUNK HAS ALREADY PROFESSED HIS LOVE FOR SHIPLEY!!!
Somewhere between the Rag & Bone show, the Rag & Bone after-party, and a much-needed turkey sandwich to keep me going through it all, I squeezed in a minute with Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos.
The boys, an original half of California-cool Trovata, were miraculously calm just minutes before showing their second collection under their label Shipley and Halmos.
"Everything's bagged, steamed and ready to go," Jeff told me.
While they waited for their models to get the finishing touches, (which included pink lip gloss on their eyelids!), they said they were excited for their Spring 2009 collection. "It's a great collection, which should make for a great show! We loved working with Loeffler Randall on the shoes and Phililp Crangi on the jewelry. It's fun when everyone gets creative together."
I loved the jewelry, but it's the Loeffler Randall shoes I see making the pages of Teen Vogue next spring. The CFDA winning, Brooklyn based label really polished off the boys' sophisticated collection with their colorful, chunky heels.
If you do get your lucky hands on pair, take a few practice turns around your room before wearing them out - the first model on the runway took a not so little stumble!
