Peep This Local Designer’s Sexy, Sporty, ’80s-Inspired Line

The Marymount University grad debuted her first collection last fall at D.C. Fashion Week, but just launched a full website over the weekend. She gave us a first look at some photos from her spring 2012 collection, and piqued our interest with bold graphic prints and a gorgeous colorblocked maxi-dress.
