  CRHEE Gives Body-Con Styling An Architectural Twist

  

  Pauline Montupet on Nov 5, 2008 10:19 AM PST
  

  What happens when a Princeton architecture grad turns to fashion? Perfectly tailored, strong and intelligent clothing that is classic and wearable with a twist. Christine Rhee started her line CRHEE with a desire to create something new and innovative, fusing practical with the unconventional. She succeeds with innovative shapes in a muted color palette. WWD raved that "if 007 were a woman she would go to former architect Christine Rhee's body-conscious suiting in her fierce-yet-feminine line CRHEE." In the fall "Isolator" collection, her architecture background is especially apparent in the 'Slowdive' dress with stunning cutouts that€™s anything but boring. My favorite? The color-blocked wool gabardine 'Pris' pant. They€™re a perfect union of traditional and unorthodox! Prices range from $200- $800 and the fall collection is available at crhee.com!

  This fall, join La Vie Boheme by layering on your favorite flowy, studded, and tribal styles. Lightweight printed fabrics bring out your inner bohemian, while studded leather accessories transform your look from hippie to haute. Since this style is all about layers and experimenting with different colors and textures, just about anything goes, but to perfect your urban bohemian look this fall there are a few necessities worth investing in. Studded leather adds that sexy-tough appeal, and these black leather and gold studded ankle booties work as wonderfully with La Boheme looks as they do with jeans. Make this strapless boho-print dress fall weather-proof by pairing it with leggings and a fitted moto jacket, and top your entire look off with loose hair and this ultra-glam braided peacock headband.
