Fill your vintage void with the retro-inspired designs of Hengst. Their summer collection of silk and linen pants, camis and delicate coresuits stylishly flaunt the feminine shape and add extra sass with drawstrings, prints, and pleats.

Created by San Francisco-based designer Susan Hengst, the imaginative line draws on decades past think Great Gatsby, but edgier and brighter and Hengst's years as a vintage buyer for inpsiration. In her collection you'll find embellished blouses, draw-string cinched shorts and high-waisted pencil skirts matched with seasonal colors to warm you up or cool you off.

Don't know where to start? We love the tangy midori green of the solar suit and the deep seaweed hue of the pleated bamboo dress. They're both hot and made from super-soft, 100% eco-friendly bamboo!

Leyendecker: An LA-based collection with a New York state of mind

Leyendecker is one of LA's brightest rising fashion stars. The supremely modern line, designed by Lisa Guajardo and Jessica Moss, is sharp as a razor and timelessly chic in its no-frills approach to fashion. "We're anti-trim," explains Moss. "Embellishments come through functional details like seams, exposed zippers and buckles," adds Guajardo. An example of this form-as-function aesthetic? Leyendecker's awesome ankle buckle leggings, a must-have that flew off the racks when it appeared on Daily Candy.

Leyendecker, a name that's been in Lisa's family for generations, sounds exactly the way the designs look: strong, unidentifiable, complicated and a little hard to pronounce... and that's exactly the way Moss and Guajardo like it. Design details like curved lines, sheer panels, and architectural shapes play off of oppositions: feminine and masculine, sexy and modest, avant-garde and wearability. Call it "smart girl style" with a seductive edge.

Like their designs, the designers benefit from oppositions, as well. Guajardo, who studied fashion at Central St. Martins and interned with Todd Oldham, brings the dark edge to Leyendecker. Moss, a former stylist and fashion marketer, is all about pragmatism. "We knew that Lisa's edginess combined with my uber-practicality could create something great," says Moss. This winning combination lends itself to Leyendecker's understated subtlety and specialness. Clean and confident, Leyendecker designs avant-garde for the masses.
