Eternal Summer: Alexandra Cassaniti's Madcap Fall Collection
Almost everyone loves summer, and no one ever wants it to end. So we can't blame Alexandra Cassaniti for creating a fall collection called "Summer Two" that features enough lightweight painted T-shirts, beachy canvas backpacks, and stylish wetsuits to carry you through the warmer days of autumn. That's right--we said stylish wetsuits.
A Los Angeles native through and through, Cassaniti has created water-proof leggings, one-pieces, structured "bralettes," and even a neoprene beret to transition from street to surf. Sleek and surprisingly functional, these pieces fit in comfortably with the collection's quirky mix of hand painted totes and pouches, lightning-bolt-emblazoned surfboards, and color-changing neon shades. For any beachcomber, these sunny staples are the perfect substitute for a never-ending summer.
Available at I Heart, 262 Mott Street, New York 212-219-9265; www.thingsweheart.blogspot.com, In God We Trust 135 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn, 718-388-2012; www.ingodwetrustnyc.com and Opening Ceremony, 451 North La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, 310-652-1120; www.openingceremony.us.
