Designer Daily: Lindsey Thornburg
Edited by Jessica Lapidos
After an enlightening hike up Peru’s Machu Picchu, Lindsey Thornburg shrouded her focus in cloaks. Like John Bartlett, she put her vast collection of Pendleton blankets to work to manifest her vision. With these enveloping cloaks riding atop fiery printed silks and heavy breezing dresses, she’s brought her Colorado roots to light in New York. Having studied philosophy in Santa Barbara, her vibes are strong and majorly thought provoking. Spring sprung at me from the online boutique Totokaelo, and we dug a little deeper. See her Autumn/Winter 2012 collection to see what we mean.








With cuts reminiscent of 1970s Saturday Night Fever, John Bartlett’s Fall 2010 collection was just as hip as it was classy. Men strutted down the runway in cutoff knickers and belted blazers while the ladies, in similar looks, flaunted knee-high lace up boots and leather pants. With a parlor vibe and a bell-bottom cut to the pants, Bartlett’s aesthetic shines through. In my opinion, this collection is certainly for an older crowd, perhaps those who actually lived during the 1970s…let the models be indicative of that!
