Taking it Back to Street Chic

In a city where different neighborhoods garner different lifestyles and dressing, Downtown Chic has transcended past it’s jurisdiction and become quite a national trend.  Accessories designer Monica Botkier has lived this look, and has always been inspired by her downtown NYC roots.  We’ve loved Botkier from her first collection with the Trigger bag, to this very day as we carry her amazing pieces from Fall 2009 on DesignerSocial.  Titled, Rocker Chic on Crosby Street, we see the classic Botkier details which she describes best herself:

“Leather. Zippers. Studs… the Botkier Fall 09 collection flaunts all the details we love about Botkier. Taking it back to street chic NYC cool. Inspired by the seductive pulse of New York City streets and my favorite pair of worn in, black leather motorcycle pants.  Handbags and shoes in a palette of moody darks and sexy neutrals that get better with age. Slouchy silhouettes that live with us. This is quintessential Botkier.”
