Harlan Bel, the label conceived by Brandy Lunsford, made its fashion week debut for fall 2007. Brandy is of Parsons pedigree, also having worked for greats such as Victoria Bartlett (a personal favorite), Jill Stuart, and Ralph Lauren before breaking out on her own.
I am personally drawn to her line for its unique play on shapes. I adore the grey tones and neutrals paired with a pop of rich magenta. She plays with unique architectures with her pleating and layering, but always manages to emphasize the womans body. Her line taps into the trend of geometric color-blocking with exquisite seaming that somehow manages to allude to a modern sexiness.
