Tuesday's Fad features Allison Parris

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
ALLISON PARRIS-- I recently had the luxury of meeting Allison Parris at her after-party for her Fall/Winter line. A tall, pale, stunning brunette, she stands out—like a major up and coming designer should in a city like New York. She was immediately enthusiastic about having The Daily Razzler photograph and publicize her clothes, which all symbolize girly yet upper east side sophistication. Allison explained that each piece is created with an environmentally conscious, feminine, social, and beautiful girl in mind. From Blair Waldorf-like party dresses to skirts that can be worn with killer tights, young New Yorkers should be getting their hands on some of these pieces (I should know, the tab I wracked up at the trunk show still haunts me).   









After speaking with her more, I learned that Allison was born in Santa Clarita, California and raised in Birmingham, Michigan, where she grew up in a creative household where artistic development was highly encouraged. She began her professional training in fashion design, pattern-making and sewing in her early teenage years and was designing evening gowns for clients throughout the Detroit area before she graduated high school. She continued to develop her talent at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, while working with staples of the American Fashion industry including Catherine Malandrino and Cynthia Rowley. Carving a name for herself designing custom evening and bridal gowns, Allison developed her classic, feminine style and gained recognition for these iconic looks. 
 



Not only are all her pieces eco-friendly, they are also memorably striking. Perfect for birthday dinners, charity events, or snagging a table at the Box, wearing Allison Parris guarantees an extravagant night in New York City. I wore my gold sequined mesh top to the Gorillaz concert at MSG last Friday and the compliments were endless—not to mention the comfortable fit that allowed me to rock out all night.
