New to Me

In my quest for knowledge, I have decided to start a new, regular post, about designers, people, shops, lines, etc. that are "new to me." For my inaugural post, I will be focusing on Ports 1961.  While I have heard of the line, the 2009 Fashion Week collection has peaked my interest. The line launched in America 2004 under the Creative Direction of Tia Cibani. Check out a short video history here. The Fall 2009 line seems to have matured, yet still, as always, taking the average, modern woman into consideration.  This collection seems to cover all the bases. 

From the stewardess-chic jetsetter, to cocktail hour on the beach, to the charity gala, and back home, the collection is a home run.
