CITYist

Sparkles, shimmer, a new year and a reawakening of the inner goddess within… that’s the feel one experiences when viewing pieces from Gabby Applegate’s new line. Just in time for the holidays, her collection offers a feel of rejuvenation and chic modernity, perfect for a New Year’s Eve cocktail party in the city.

Well, preview images from her Spring/Summer Lookbook shocked us with their brilliance. The sophisticated designs and overall look of the line screamed the look and feel of a seasoned professional–a title that most twenty-year-olds still strive to attain. Gabby Applegate, though only in her second season of design, is already turning heads for her innovative, chic lines of clothing.

What happens in the average twenty-year old’s life? She might be in her third year of college, eating mac’n cheese out of a box, up to her neck in index cards as she prays that she aces her finals–a true starving artist just trying to make a name for herself. Well, not Gabby Applegate. She’s already established, and she’s already incredible. In only her second season, she has already stepped out of her shell and into the world of elegance and poise with her flawlessly sophisticated and classy designs. A peak into her Spring Lookbook offers a glimpse into a daring, atmospheric level of modernity and chicness in her line’s distinct styles.

Gabby Applegate has created a Fall collection perfect for women who love to strut the city streets in style and confidence. Her new line features a lot of earth tones, black lace infusions and overlapping textured fabrics that give the clothing a bold and dramatic appearance.

Fluid. Dark. Mysterious. Designer Gabby Applegate’s newest collection pays homage to dark femininity, to say the least. The LA-based designer recently debuted her video lookbook featuring the track “Lovely Blood Flow” by Baths and the direction of Aurelien Levitan. Applegate—previously known as Witches prior to her namesake label—channels Stevie Nicks for this collection. With items like velvet and lace leggings, conceptual silk dresses and leather jackets, there are definitely more than a few hits for the coming autumn season. A personal favorite includes a lace hoodie. It’s the perfect mix of sophistication and inspired creativity. Check out the video after the jump.
