Not many 26 year old designers in their second year of business can say that they are sold on Net-A-Porter AND in some of top boutiques in the country. Kimberly Ovitz is not normal. Actually, she is so fiercely abnormal that I can’t stand it. Her 2011 Holiday/Resort line looks like it’s intended for a vacay to the coolest resort of all time. A resort in the Singapore where Mary Ellen Mark shoots all of the brochures, dirty Ketel martinis are served with breakfast, and Chryssie Hynde acts as a tour guide while occasionally bursting into song. THAT is the level of cool I’m talking about right now.
Her resume gives me serious job envy (J. Crew, Chanel, Imitation of Christ, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, Ya Ya Clothing) but that coupled with an Art History degree from Brown explains the clean lines and minimalist design that has become her trademark.


This white viscose gown is shredded in the front and has a real Bride-of-Jack-White thing going on. Dress perfection.

I would wear this everyday. I’d be like the girl in that Seinfeld episode who never changed her outfit.


DYING over the sheer back of this dress.
The collection has a spareness that is not often seen in collections intended for luxurious locales. It’s edgy but comfy at the same time – I literally want every piece. The dresses are a little pricey but I would just toss some leggings on, add cool slouchy boots, and transform it winter wear. Done and done.
