For Stand Studio, Nellie Kamras designed a spring collection with flair and flare by introducing A-line shapes and flounces to the offering. The result, she said on a call, was a “a more flirty vibe than we have had before,” and one that “suits the moment…it’s quite playful, but moderate, playful.”
One would imagine that for a company working mainly with faux fur and leather (real and alternative), creating pieces for “long city days and warm summer nights” would be more challenging than bringing color and warmth to chilly days; but this Stand Studio collection is convincingly vacation-ready. Reacting to the season, Stand has even added some cotton twill separates into the mix, but the standout material is supple suede, like that used on a tobacco-brown shirt and pant set, which has a raw-cut finish to make it as light as possible. The animal-print pieces are made using a summer fur so light it seems, Kamras said, “imaginary.” Also dreamy is a computer bag in the shape of a ruffle-edge pillow.
