We Love Milly

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under FASHION

And even more so, we love Michelle Smith for bringing us the glamorous brand.

Smith started her education at FIT, in New York, then ended it at ESMOD in Paris, where she also interned at Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior Hate Couture. Smith returned to New York in 2000 to launch Milly.

The collection merges vintage-inspired couture fabrics with feminine, modern silhouettes that leaves its consumers feeling young, hip and fabulous.

Let’s take a look at the frocks coveted by celebs and working girls alike.

Milly is all about dresses.

A-Line Dress, $370.00; Two-Tone Jacquard Dress, $350.00;
Cashmere Smock Dress, $405.00; Satin Bandeau Dress, $412.00.

The line’s remix on the LBD…

Strappy Ruffle Dress, $436.00; Jacqueline Cap Sleeve Dress, $355.00; Bow Front Mini Dress, $237.00;
Diamond Cutout Mini Dress, $445.00; Vintage Jacquard Mini Dress, $445.00; Ruffle Button Mini Dress, $410.00; Tiny Keyhole Mini Dress, $203.90

The line also does prints…

Spot Print Dress, $360.00; Carnaby Floral Print Dress, $356.00; Giraffe Print Mini Dress, $400.00; Floral Shift Dress, $360.00; Maritine Asymmetrical Chiffon Dress, $255.50.

Subtle embellishments…

Kaleidoscope Print Dress, $405.00; Beaded Cashmere Cardigan, $459.00;
Bead Trim Cardigan, $450.00; Bead Embellished Dress, $455.00.

And eye catching jackets and coats…

Double-Breasted Peacoat, $640.00; Peter Pan Collar Coat, $590.00;
Oval Dot Print Jacket, $510.00; Animal Print Jacket, $470.00.

I’d
say all her hard work and education has paid off beautifully. But like all designers, Smith has made a few mistakes. She obviously beat this dress with a fugly stick…
