Retro, funky and feminine designer Kenley Collins is one of those rare designers from Project Runway who is not only talented but their aesthetic is so distinct that you can pick out her clothes from a mile away. but very few have had such distinctive styles that you could take one look at their work and know immediately who created it. Collins was featured on both Season Five and the first Project Runway All Stars season and became known for colorful, bold and retro creations.
Online boutique, Unique Vintage, is teaming up with Collins on an exclusive collaboration set to debut May 1. The colorful crop top with matching swing skirt will retail for $136. Racked spoke to Kenley about her design:
I wanted to do something which was on trend but was very pin-up. It's straight out of the great American pin up book with all the Vargas girls with the matching two piece sets...But I also wanted to do something that was variable, not a straight pin-up outfit. And I wanted to show a little bit of skin.Collins also sells her own higher priced line and has recently been dressing Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande in similar retro two piece sets.
