For a brand that is relatively new, the Meredith Wendell Fall 2011 collection has gotten so much buzz that you would think it had been around for decades. In actuality, designers (and husband and wife) Meredith and Wendell German only started the accessories brand in 2008.
The color-block bags and quirky, chunky belts have already become fixtures in high fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, W, Harper’s Bazaar and Marie Claire. The vibrant color combinations and chic, streamlined cuts give the Meredith Wendell Fall 2011 collection a sporty-luxe feel that has been popping up on runways around the world.
"The color inspiration comes mainly from The Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia. I spent my childhoods there, and the Dorothy Draper-designed interiors are so vibrant and dynamic, it’s hard not to become inspired," Meredith explains.
Check out the Meredith Wendell Fall 2011 collection for some bold inspiration for fall.
