we got mono

everyone at nokomis gets mono, if you don't believe me consider that we're on our third case in a year, it's like a nokomis rite of passage. it seems like everyone's having so much fun, getting mono together and, i don't know, resting and talking about swollen glands or something, you know, mono stuff, and here i am NEVER GETTING MONO!! it's totally frustrating, i feel so left out. i never get to be the one with mono. well, until today.

you see i stopped by the store this morning and was so! excited to see brand new styles from a brand new line we're carrying called...wait for it...mono!

mono is a vancouver line designed by heather martin which, in her own words, explores the spaces between art, craft, design & fashion aiming to redefine the categorical convention of these genres as well as their ideals, content, norms & expectations. we're really excited to be carrying the line this spring. the clothes are starkly elegant, fashion forward and highly conceptual. heather's definitely a designer to watch and we're lucky to have her as part of the noko family.

and here's my little fashion show just to prove that i (and you!) too can join the mono club. *update* i forgot to mention that this dress is called the "tucked shift" and retails for $309 *end update*. oh, and this beautiful bag i'm holding? it's the new nokomis 'gillespie' bag in grey patent leather, lovingly handmade by genevieve just last week.
