DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: GEORGINE

For Spring/Summer 2017, Georgine Ratelband — designer of GEORGINE — was inspired by the type of girl who shops at both Bergdorf Goodman and Trash & Vaudeville.

“I think it is a more interesting concept of dressing, one where luxury goods coexist with rock t-shirts, intricate couture beading meets motorcycle jackets, and lightweight furs are punctuated by combat boots,” remarked Ratelband.

She also drew inspiration from the way that young women always pilfer the closets of their mothers, and how they would wear more classic pieces, but with their own twist put on it. Specifically, Frances Bean Cobain and Zoe Kravitz — who both have mothers with the most incredible closets — came to mind for Ratelband when designing this collection.
