About KNITTED DOVE
The KNITTED DOVE collection is perfect for the unabashedly independent, free-thinking fashion starlet. Inspired by the fashions of yesteryear, with modern surprises, KNITTED DOVE is fresh looking and full of charm. Built on jackets, coats and sweaters, von Kriegenbergh has recently expanded the collection to include dresses, bottoms and item tops. KNITTED DOVE's philosophy is that every girl from 20 to 45 should look great and feel comfortable in what she's wearing.

About LAQUETTE
A contemporary women's line focusing on date tops. For LAQUETTE, Tarantola believes, "Creating intrigue is the way to make a statement." Treatment, hand feel, and fabric mixing are the cornerstones of Laquette. These essential elements, paired with strategic gathering and pleating to create volume, deliver revised classics and stand-out silhouettes. Surface interest, metallics, sheerness, subtle harmonies and layered, chromatic colorations invite one to take a closer look. http://www.laquette.com/
