DJ June D spins among the denim at the YLLI party last night
One of the pieces I tried on, by Castle Starr, $495.(The sleeves and neckline were fabulous.)
This season's volumetric looks can be a challenge to wear.
The way I would wear this piece would be belted, and layered
over slim fit pants. Heels are a must. Anything to lengthen the line.
Shopping was in full swing last night at the YLLI party to celebrate their being named "Best New Brooklyn Boutique" by New York Magazine (see the March 2007 issue). I was pleased 'to have written about them when..' and so I took a stroll over last night with my camera to wish them well.
I wanted to be the first to show you the inside of the beautiful 8000 square foot loft boutique devoted to exciting, luxurious and directional fashion collections. The vast selling space is choreographed with floating racks and suspended shelves which lead you through the selections from over 70 designers in womenswear, menswear, denim, childrenswear, and accessories including shoes, bags, belts and jewelry. I got a chance to talk with the owner Fetije, born and raised in Williamsburg by the way, to learn more about her background in fashion and how she developed her eye. I will bring you more on that story; but for now, I will give you time to look at the photos and start planning your trip to YLLI.

A glimpse of the Williamsburg crowd at the YLLI party
All of the merchandise floats at YLLI. I love the effect of the suspendedracks and display shelves in the cavernous space.
The dress on the mannequin caught my attention.
Also by Castle Starr, silk with lining, not yet on yllibklyn.com.
You'll just have to visit in person.

The inside really is beautiful.. The last time I was there I was impressed by the range of designers they had and how many people they actually had working there. - pretty good service.
I love Castle Starr so I am going to have to go again to see what they have!
