Discover New Designers: Dakota Martin

Dakota Martin wants nothing more than for you to light up a room. The designers, two twenty-something girls who grew up together in Katharine Hepburn-style Philadelphia, utilize luxe fabrics, crisp shapes, and rich colors to create made-to-order pieces that are stylish, and above all, unique. Dakota Martin knows how to do day-to-evening with flair. Pair the Louis Skirt – Spring ’06 with a white collard shirt for the office, and then switch to the Dakota Martin Michael Top for a more revealing happy hour. If you’re into the celebutante look, you’ll love the plaid seersucker waistband. The signature Dakota Martin Scarf Top is ideal for an outdoor summer party or a tropical honeymoon. The 100% silk charmeuse top is held by a detachable necklace that you can also wear by itself. With 5 color choices for the tops, and 6 color choices for the necklaces, one of the 30 combos will certainly please you. If you’ve got a gala to attend, show off your feminine curves in the bright, A-line Eva skirt. Keep it a bit sporty with the Michael Top or slip into the brown strapless Emma Top for a classic autumn color combo. Rock a Dakota Martin design, and everyone at the country club will be asking you for the order number. Find the collection at dakotamartin.com.
