Raised in the sweet South, Abigail Lorick was off to the fashion capitals of Europe, Milan and Paris, at the tender age of 18. After working as a model and then a designer at T.S. Dixin, Lorick started up her very own line in ‘07. As entrenched as she may be in the high fashion world, she can’t escape those Southern belle roots, as proved by the playfully feminine details and rich fabrics evident throughout her fall collection.
For the most part, Lorick sticks to tried and true silhouettes reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy or if you want to go contemporary, Blair Waldorf, as Lorick’s pieces stand in as Mrs. Waldorf’s line on Gossip Girl. The high-waisted skirt with shirt combo transitions seamlessly into fall with warmer colors and more sophisticated fabrics, especially with her blue-gold combo. Her boat-neck, knee-length black cocktail dress bells daintily at the waist, and the red number is a fantastic combination of a smock dress and a cocktail dress.
Though some of Lorick’s retro looks end up looking like stewardesses’ uniforms, the surprising bermuda short pairing for fall is still quite inspired. Her high-necked, tailored black dress recalls Alice in Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts, but still landed right at the top of the wish list.
