Byron Lars Spring 2013

I have made no attempt to hide that Byron Lars is one of my favorite designers of all time.  His New York Fashion Week presentation was small and intimate in his showroom.  They bring everyone who works with them into the family.

For spring 2013, the designer brought his signature sculpted silhouettes.  Supremely tailored pieces with intricate seaming details, mixing materials and fabrication techniques for a luxe bohemian feel, laser cut and crochet.  The Byron Lars is not meant to take herself too seriously, even if the clothes she is wearing are seriously constructed.

The reason I personally buy so many pieces of from Byron is that they are built to support and flatter the curviest of women (no matter where your curves happen to be).  Everyone from Kim Kardashian to First Lady Michelle Obama flaunt his edgy/elegant chic.
