Project Accessory mentor and founder of Vivre.com Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti has teamed up with New York & Co. for a new capsule fashion collection.
The collection will include apparel and accessories items. Jeanbart-Lorenzotti’s familiar snake motif promises to be woven through the range. Look for it on the closures of clutch purses and the bracelet cuffs.
Jeanbart-Lorenzetti says the collaboration with New York & Co. seemed natural as the Big Apple is her current home base, her favorite city, and a source of ongoing inspiration.
“Its color and movement provide endless excitement for me,” Jeanbart-Lorenzetti commented, adding that she hoped to embody the “city’s magnetism and style” in her limited edition pieces. Looking at the fringed bag pictured, do you think she achieved the New York look?
Perhaps it’s premature to judge on the basis of one piece, but I’m not so sure. This purse seems a little bohemian to me. When I imagine New York I think of a more sophisticated look with a real urban edge. I hope Jeanbart-Lorenzetti will prove me wrong and we’ll see more of that attitude rolled out across the rest of the collection.
Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti’s limited edition line will be available through New York & Co. stores across America, including its online outlet, this October.
