Yesterday I got to spend some quality time with a friend who also just happens to design some pretty chic clothes. Genoveva Christoff first caught my eye 2 years ago when I was writing an article on her. I stopped mid-writing to contact her and she ended up making me a custom piece.

Genoveva first showed in CMH Fashion Week's Finale Show, then was hand picked by Barney's Simon Doonan to show in NY at Lincoln Center's Diet Pepsi Style Studio show in 2012.

So proud of you my friend!
