By Kristianne Young n a perfect, sunny day in March, I joined a group of stylish industry professionals and fashion lovers in a beautiful garden setting for a private showing of L.A. designer Bri Seeley’s Fall 2014 Chrysalis Collection.
This wasn’t just any fashion presentation though; I’ve been a huge fan of Bri Seeley’s designs since I first saw her impeccable Escape collection glide down the runway at Phoenix Fashion Week in 2012, the same collection that won her the title of Designer of the Year. A few tweets, emails, and art museum dates later, Bri and I have forged a friendship sealed by our love for fabulous fashion and a good latte. Our friendship has offered me the privilege of admiring Seeley's designs both from the audience and from behind the scenes. Her hard work and passion for empowering women through her clothing is truly inspiring. Bri also represents a small number of designers whose garments are made in America. Her newest collection is no exception to the graceful and sophisticated designs that her fans and customers have come to love. The Chrysalis Collection is a fresh take on Seeley's most popular styles and silhouettes. Deep red hues and classic black are staples of any fall wardrobe, but Bri’s collection reaches beyond seasons with sheer fabrics and flirty halter necklines. Among my favorites, the ‘Harper’ jumpsuit is a musthave for making a bold statement for spring and summer or pairing with a chic blazer or Bri Seeley jacket for cool weather perfection!
