LamanBlu Releases its Fall and Holiday 2011 Collection

Fashion Designer Holli Gibson presents her latest LamanBlu collection for Fall and Holiday 2011 with a tribute to Falling Whistles.

Gibson’s new collection is inspired by cozy log cabins and forests of aspen. The forests quickly become enchanted for children, tinged in medieval lore with lush materials and deep saturated colors. Wrap them in the luxury of sustainable fabrics – from beautifully draping bamboo to organic cottons to delightful faux furs – all trimmed in cotton lace and soft velvet ribbons, and even some freshwater pearl beading.

Gibson is the most recent recipient of Fashion Group International’s Rising Star Award for Design, first capturing the award for the children’s wear category and then walking away with the ultimate prize, The Rising Star, competing with other designers from all categories of fashion.

LamanBlu’s color palette for the season encompasses the bright and yummy colors of boysenberry, blackberry, marshmallow, granny smith apple, chili pepper red and chocolate – accented with porcelain, mallard and chateau rose.

LamanBlu has dedicated this season in support of the charity Falling Whistles, a campaign for peace in Congo.
