After another eye opening night that included, among other things, a trip down music-memory lane, power outages, and an enlightening conversation, I didn’t think I would up for a post this morning…but one look at Emily Ryan’s collection and I just couldn’t keep it to myself! Emily is an independent designer located in Portland, Oregon (what did I tell you about Portland!? Crazy!). She has been designing custom and retail pieces since 2001. Currently, she produces two small collections per year as well as custom one-of-a-kind pieces. She loves modern sculptural designs that explore texture and shape, as well as artistic, comfortable, and cozy designs. She is continually inspired by 1920′s couture, science fiction, and Japanese fashions. Everything is made in house by Emily and her lovely interns.
I am blown away by her designs. She uses awesome silhouettes and combines them with surpising textures to create what can only be described as an Urban Socialite obsession!

Amazing! I just posted about her too. It is incredible what you can find on Etsy these days. That’s how I found her. I love that there is a way for designers to distribute their designs. We all need to encourage this sort of thing xx
