Vena Cava Inspired


This post is dedicated to the Brooklyn-centric girl's behind the label VENA CAVA!!! Sophie Buhai was one of my favorite classmate's at Parson's School of Design. I spent senior year draping in the same studio as she and her quirky sense of fashion. She would stroll into class in vintage dresses and a smile. We shared many great talks,and Cat Power marathons through out the term. Now she designs and tackles the fashion world with her friend Lisa Mayock.

Both Tops above by VENA CAVA,Boots by Alexander McQueen,the rest are items I picture their customer wearing to fit the look.



VENA CAVA is releasing a shoe line with Via Spiga,the shoes will go for 300 to 800 dollars. Monk fish skin was one of the materials they used to design the high end heals.


Watch this inspiring video. The two chat about their design processand their inspiration.

My favorite thing about Sophie was the modesty she had about her entire life from her childhood surrounded by famed individuals to her endless supply of eccentric talent. Her innocent child like face and sense of humor where a joy to be around and made light of things during an intense school year.
