Toni Whitaker: Collection Femme Fatale




Mattie Loreta Kirkland opposite her future husband Theodore Whitaker
Camden, SC  1942

 

While no one actually left any comments on my first blog, many sent me emails and made comments on Facebook. The curiosity is up because I did not answer the who, what, when and where questions.         

That was intentional.  I wanted my initial blogger efforts to be as mysterious and seductive as my new collection.      

Who   is the inspiration behind the collection?

No insult to Lauren Bacall, but the quintessential femme fatale   that I'm paying homage to is Mattie Loretta Whitaker, my mom.  In the words of my father, "That is my girl" ,   and the inspiration behind the collection.

What will the collection look like?

Transparent to metallic separates and  little dresses shift into backless, long and short  (even shorts).


When will the collection debut?
My first RTW collection is designed in collaboration with Aris Milan for Coquette Boutique and Bistro and will debut the first week of February.


Where?
Of course the collection will be available at Coquette Boutique and Bistro on Westheimer @ Hazard.  A fun preview party is in the works.  Details TBA.
