Inspired by an almost Alice in Wonderland-like enchantment, Fauna is the creation of Canadian Alexis Walker. While her work “invites us to step into a bygone era,” her collections offer a modern sensibility that is rarely seen with such whimsical insight. The Spring 2006 Collection, in which all pieces could make an effortless transition into Fall, are not only cut beautifully, they offer originality in their entire composition. The pieces are exquisitely detailed with lace and obvious delicate elements without being overtly feminine.

Our favorites for Fall are the Lace Bolero – a cropped jacket with lace accents that will ward off the first chill of the season; and the Fauna Collar which offers an eclectic juxtaposition of ‘ladies who lunch’ and rock ‘n roll sensibility – the fur detail makes it a perfect accent for Fall. Not only is Alexis’ work beautiful – so is her site – so visit and enjoy – be sure to check out her amazing collection of Artwork as well! We can’t wait to see what this designer will be doing next!
