Tuesday's Fad features ANN YEE

This Tuesday were featuring the beautiful drapery and funky, adrogynous fits of local designer Ann Yee.  While her first line launched only last fall, her experience designing for labels like LaRok, Elizabeth and James and Alice and Olivia made her a pro at draping knits and creating cool pieces for New York fashion lovers like herself.  


We're dying to get our hands on that white draped top--not to mention our obsession with the pockets sneakily hidden in seemingly every outfit!! We were lucky enough to catch a quick conversation with Ann and discussed her two loves: designing clothes and New York City.


Daily Razzler: 
We cannot stop gushing to our friends about how much we loved your line at Fashion Week. The cuts and colors are perfect for going from the office to out with friends or hanging on the weekends; we love!! 
Our adoration aside--what do YOU love most about what you do?


Ann Yee:

I love creating things that can make someone feel confident and cool. My biggest reward is seeing people wearing my designs in this way.  Also, the process is actually fun from start to finish, from researching, collecting fabrics, sketching, draping, trim shopping, etc.  It’s very hands on which keeps it personal and I’m lucky I can call it my job!  I don’t think I’d survive at a desk all day…

Daily Razzler:
Ummm yes we hear you on that one!  We're pretty sure the only thing that could make a lot of people suffer long hours at a cold cubicle is...New York City. So what is it that you love about this city??


Ann Yee:

Makes my job so much easier --- there’s constant excitement everywhere you go and inspiration surrounds you 24/7.  The people are definitely incomparable and something is always going on.  I LOVE the flea markets – from Hell’s kitchen to Chelsea to the Brooklyn Flea – there’s always great treasures to be found that can spark countless ideas!!
