Head designer Georgine Ratelband of GEORGINE debuted her Fall/Winter 2012 collection as part of New York Fashion Week on Sunday, February 12 at 7Eleven Gallery in Chelsea. It is an impressive collection (photos below) and I can see why Georgine's designs hang alongside those of Jason Wu.
The evening kicked off with a performance from DJ Mia Moretti and Caitlin Moe (who opened for Janet Jackson at The Louvre and played at Chelsea Clinton's wedding) and complimentary Brooklyn Brewery beer and cocktails by One Stop Beer Shop were served all night.
About Georgine:
Head designer Georgine Ratelband of Georgine graduated from Istituto Europeo di Design this past June, just after her thesis collection was bought by the prestigious boutique SIEN in Antwerp, Belgium. Her designs now hang next to those of Proenza Schouler, Jason Wu, and The Row. Georgine is dedicated to the synthesis of culture, travel, and femininity. She divides her life between America, Europe and Asia, always spending the majority of each year in Bangkok to personally oversee and collaborate on the production of her clothing. The electricity of New York, sensuality of Paris, and chaotic passion of Bangkok fuse together in every one of Georgine's collections, thanks to the inspiration that the designer draws from such an eclectic synthesis of culture. Georgine's intentions are simple: to create perfectly executed clothing that every woman can feel great about wearing.
