One hand in the air for Alpaca in the big city...

We presented our AW11 collection "The Shift" of 100% Alpaca in NYC this past weekend at the NOW Showcase...We will write about our wonderful experience there and some of the amazingly innovative and inspiring talents we were surrounded by next week, but for 'now' we have to boast about our own little collection! We worked very hard this season and feel very proud of how much it paid off. Please enjoy a few of our favorites from our AW11 Collection...xx A+G

ADDY
She's the sexiest tomboy around..with her sleeves dip-dyed in Avocado Pit natural dye..she takes gray to an entire new level of cool. We cant wait to wear her with our clog ankle boots all Fall!

DARBY
Our Midi Skirt staple for Fall! We've been wary of this 70s trend because we find it gives us...dare we say it...cankles. To avoid this dreadful thought, we designed the top skirt sheer with a mini underskirt so the silhouette of the leg is not lost...leaving a subtle sexiness to this sometimes intimidating style.


DOTTIE
She's a dream...(or a Rorschach inkblot test..we were told of the knit design!) Hitting right below the knee, this skirt is our Sweedish Hasbeens new best friend!

MAYA
We can't even talk about how much we love this girl! With the poncho being all over the runway for AW11, she may be our new winter coat...she's certainly warm enough!

TEE
Another one Casey had a hard time leaving in NYC! Sasha really worked her natural dyeing magic here! First, she hand dyed it in avocado pit and iron natural dye, she then used lemon as a natural form of bleach to create our take on the 70s rocker tee.

UMA...had to save the best for last. 

AW 2011 Showcase
