Lyn Devon – Detailing The Difference

Lyn Devon likes to sign her work in small print. It is her finer fabrications that elevate this award-winning artist’s work to the level of true designer fashion. For her Spring 2013 collection, the play in palette and her tremendous work in texture really put the native New Yorker’s collection of day dresses and sporty separates over the top. She is not drawn to wild shapes or crazy cuts. Her work fits nicely in a modern women’s life, but it is those inventive and eye-catching details that make you look twice, even though at second glance you’re still not really sure what you’re being drawn to.

Lyn Devon – Fall 2012 – Rescuing The 50s

Observing Lyn Devon’s presentation of her Fall 2012 collection, one has the initial sense of stepping back in time to the late 1950s. Like her past seasons, these outfits are consciously based on the classic American styles of that period, worn by women such as Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Onassis. Ms. Devon modernizes this style through the use of bold patterns and rich colors. In addition, she makes brilliant but subtle use of pleating and darting to make the outfits more befitting the female form, in essence finishing work others began.
