This young designer is full of surprises. An artist and illustrator firstly, she matches that lyrical side with an acute awareness of the building blocks that go into making clothes. Her complex patterns are precise in a way that balances the playful attitude of her clothes. Ms. Longo brings a certainty of vision to her work, and a thoughtful consideration of the "why this why now" questions that plague this industry and so many creative practices. It shows in her approach and result. So it's limited runs and originals...for now.
