The Sock Drawer collection has been produced in collaboration with Kate Brien. Brien is a stylist who has received recent attention for her Tumblr account View from the Topp. She has since applied her skills to this line of haute socks.
In addition to featuring masterfully paired colors and shapes, Brien also made use of various iconic paintings as well as images of world renowned artists. Whether featuring the Mona Lisa or the work of Van Gogh, Brien has expressed her evident appreciation for fine art and its merger with fringe fashion.
Although in sock formation, this line of apparel is not meant to be covered by shoes in any shape or form. Instead, open sandals are preferred, enabling the designs to be showcased freely.
