crush ::

everyone's allowed a girl crush, right?

RISD Grad and current NYC- based designer Katie Gallagher creates pieces that are both transitional and unexpected. and her personal style and aura is just ridiculous.

directly after graduating from RISD the up-and-coming designer showcased her Spring 2010 collection to rave reviews at New York Fashion Week. her F/W 2010 collection "the heart of the woods and what I found there" followed suit, bringing her stark straight-forward aesthetic into the collection and into the entire presentation as a whole.

:: check out images from her F/W 2010 collection, below.
