We recently discovered New York-based womenswear line Rae Francis and want to share this baby with you. Only a year and a half old, Rae Francis was created by designers Ariel Lilly and Christina Coniglio – a Bostonian and a Floridian. They fuse their differing backgrounds and interests to create one helluva harmonious product.

These two ladies translate this juxtaposition into their fall collection. The inspiration is 1990′s grunge rock.

There is feminine/soft and masculine/hard elements, along with retro and modern details. For instance, a floral chiffon dress is paired with a neutral blazer and a plaid shirt features 2010′s popular cut-out design.

These phat threads are $127-$453. Wearing them could cause some positive attention. Someone may even call you “all that and a bag o’ chips.”
