This Spring 2021 Capsule Collection is inspired by the style of Elaine Welteroth, NYTimes Best-Selling Author, Former Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue, and TV personality. 

Why Elaine gives us inspo: She is a woman who speaks her mind on everything from voter suppression, police brutality, and inequality all while making Vogue Magazine’s best-dressed list.  Women like Elaine shatter the notions that being a fashionista equates to being materialistic or superficial. Your contributions to the world are about what’s in your head, what’s in your heart, and what you do with your time. Whether you decide to do that in couture is a personal choice.

This capsule wardrobe is designed with Elaine’s signature style elements of simplicity and glamour. 

There are looks for work, brunch, picnics, date night, and job interviews. These 15 pieces can be combined to make 45 different outfit combinations. Whether you add two pieces or 10, your wardrobe will expand because all of the items can be exchanged. 

Thank you Elaine for reminding us that a woman can be both fashionable and impactful!
