Designer Discovery: Farahbella

Alnea and Rick Miskiv are Farahbella, fashion label born of the duo’s love for art and design. The brand focuses on clothing for the Farahbella woman, someone who uses fashion to express themselves, someone who is constantly searching for more outlets. Their latest collection for the Fall/Winter 2008 season is called “Imploding Volumes”. It includes a long, silver trench with large puffy collar and lapels, an electric blue raincoat, smock dresses in red and dusty purple, a pale blue-gray full body jumper, loose straight leg trousers, and a dark waistcoat. The lines are clean and simple, with cuffs on both the bottoms of pants and the ends of sleeves, solid colors dominate the collection, and color blocking is used for styling effect.
