Libertine

“We wanted to turn the fussy, Waspy world upside down,“ said Libertine designer Johnson Hartig (part of a duo, the other designer being Cindy Greene). They also kept the economy in mind and said it forced them to be more creative (i.e. using screen printing). I like it! Although why pick on Wasp‘s as a sterotype? Just because we’re White Anglo Saxon and Protestant doesn’t mean all we’re stuffy snobs, geez! A cute collection, I especially like the queen screen print sweater and the outfit with the patches.
