Designers Deborah Lyons and Misha Nonoo
The images of 1940s and ’50s Americana have long captivated the imaginations of designers Misha Nonoo and Deborah Lyons. The elegance and glamour of iconic pin-ups of a bygone era, who began their careers on the boardwalks of Coney Island served as the inspiration that roused the nostalgic, daringly playful and effortlessly feminine images that comprise the Spring/Summer 2010 Nonoo Lyons collection.
A collection founded on principles of effortless grace, flawless craftsmanship and the finest European fabrics has been has expanded to include 12 styles. Fashioned from rubber coated tweeds (Miss Demember), leopard print water proof taffetas (Miss August), cobalt blue silks (Miss October), and bright white cotton faille (Miss May), Nonoo Lyons jackets are made exclusively by local tailors in New York City.
What makes this collection unique is that it entails only jackets. No separates, no dresses, just beautifully crafted jackets named after a pinup girl for each month. There are so many gorgeous ones, it’s really hard to pick a favorite, but if I absolutely had to, I’d have to go with Miss January.
Miss January
I love the color, and look at that impeccable clean cut. Just absolutely gorgeous. You could dress that up with a silk skirt for formal or evening wear or totally wear it over jeans for a classic, put together look.
There are 12 different gorgeous jackets to choose from, and you don’t have to go searching in boutiques to find them. They have recently launched an e-commerce site devoted exclusively to their line. You can find them at http://nonoolyons.com/
Which one is your favorite?
