For their Micaela Greg Fall 2009 collection, sister design duo Marie and Karen Potesta released funky knits centered on geometric, op-art patterns.
With black and white as the palette, the Micaela Greg Fall 2009 knitwear line focuses especially on origami styles including architecturally twisted tops, graphic leggings, and trapeze-shaped skirts and sweaters. The collection, which is the sisters' first, also won the Avant Garde Gen Arts International Styles Award.
Implications - Who knew sister styles could be so darn stylish? This collection of clothing would have many people wishing they had a sibling they could collaborate with. The combination of geometric patterns within leggings, tops, sweaters and skirts proved that the Micaela Greg Fall 2009 Line has something for everyone.
