We all know the ladies of “Gossip Girl” love their labels. Valentino, Alexander Wang, Christian Louboutin, and Oscar de la Renta all make frequent cameo appearances on the program.
However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t any room for those of the not-so-recognizable variety. Eric Daman has as much interest in famous names as he does with more under-the-radar designers and makes sure to mix the two groups in flawless fashion.
In “The Treasure of Serena Madre”, Blair wore a simply irresistable little tribal printed party dress to Thanksgiving dinner (the jury is still out on its appropriateness for the occassion). Designed by fairly unknown designer Sariah Carson, it features a scribbly floral pattern against a sienna brown background, deep v-neckline and extra short ballerina-style skirt. The dress itself is not available for sale online, but get a similar version by Anthropologie and then check out the SariahNYC website for more goodies.
With Vanessa, it’s all about the accessories and Gemma Redux is a favorite. Crafted by former mechanical engineer Rachel Dooley, the collection mixes chain hardware, quartz nuggets, and vintage cast-offs which all magically come together to form pieces that appeal to those who want their wearables to be one-of-a-kind (or at least appear that way). Below, Vanessa models the Anne Petrified Wood Necklace.
And no matter what Blair says, headbands will always be a “Gossip Girl” tradition. Here, Olivia is wearing the Midnight Gems soft band from True Birds. Run by the Los Angeles-based Palmer sisters, True Birds is a hobby-turned-business specializing in hand-sewn headbands and fabric bracelets decked out in sequins, gemstones, and crystal embellishments. Fittingly, Olivia wore the spangled band as part of her 20’s-era costume, but it would fit just as well into you holiday ensemble and beyond.
