Designer to Watch: Erin Fetherston

We’ve been seeing a lot of blonde, photogenic Paris-based designer Erin Fetherston lately, most likely due to her recent CFDA fashion fund nomination and her upcoming diffusion collection for Target stores. Fetherston once referred to herself in a Vogue interview as her own “brand’s best ambassador”, and it appears that she’s absolutely correct in that assessment - not only does most of her wardrobe come from her own line, but she also happens to carry off her sweetly showstopping designs better than almost anyone. This means that to have the Fetherston look is to take inspiration from the designer’s own wardrobe and styling. Even if you can’t afford her couture line (because let’s face it, one Target collection could never be enough), you can still dress as though you were styled by the designer herself, simply by following her example.
The first order of business, then? Stock up on brief babydolls that show a lot of leg and not much of anything else. This mini is by Design History.
Fetherston’s favorite motif is the sweet-but-chic heart shape. These Yves Saint Laurent heart applique pumps and Isabella Adams crystal clutch are just too cute not to fawn over.
