Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi (life-partners) have been the designers and creators of their line Preen since 1996. Their line has an everyday-cool vibe to it and consists mostly of slouchy yet elegant jersey or silk dresses. Since being in New York's Fashion Week in 2007 their line has gained international status. At their spring fashion shows, celebrities like Kate Bpsworth, Alexa Chung, and Diane Kruger were all there and loving the mini dresses shown. Now though, the designers have made a sister-collection called Preenline, a less-expensive version of the clothing but all with similar designs. Their idea is to make past treasures that were most popular during the season they came out into more affordable versions of those creations. Some of the designs they have "re-created" is the Hobbie dress from 2006 which is a versatile wrap-around dress with tiered skirts, but that now is patterned, the Power dress also from 2006 and worn by Amy Winehouse, some leggings, jackets, and pants as well. The great thing is their Preenline looks just as nice as Preen does and is now available on Net-a-Porter.
Oh and check out these fun floral Viktor and Rolf sandals!
