my new etsy crush: emily ryan.

i love etsy.  it's such a simple, yet brilliant idea: create a marketplace for handmade goods.  and so in this online marketplace, i came across a fabulous designer: emily ryan.






ryan is a designer out of portland, oregon.  her aesthetic is modern and sculptural.  i love the volume of this dress.  it is so fun & whimical.







ryan's designs that explore texture and shape.  she works mainly in jerseys, so while her designs are artistic, they maintain a comfortable and cozy character.  the drape of this tunic is to die for and how fun are the bat-wings...






miss ryan also discusses how she is continually inspired by 1920's couture, science fiction, and japanese fashions.  the origami on this dress is just brilliant. 








i might need this tunic/smock.  it's lovely.  the proportions are perfect and it has this completely causal elegance about it.







i think that i might start a collection of coat dresses.  they are the perfect fall attire.  and this one is made of sweatshirt material... perfect!

cheers for etsy finds,
