The inspiring world of Ryan Roche

August 15, 2011 in Design- Art - Home Decor - Toys, Mood of the day - Trends - inspirations, New Products | No comments

Located two hours north of New York on the Hudson Valley, the house of fashion designer Ryan Roche is filled with light, poetry and inspiring details.

The place is extremely peaceful and joyful at the same time, allowing space for reflexion, bringing true happiness.

For those who know children’s fashion, the name of Ryan Roche will be familiar. In 2004, Ryan opened a Brooklyn store calledmor mor rita and selling her beautiful line of knits and woven pieces. A collection of dreamlike clothes with an amazing color palette that influenced the industry.

…

Today, Roche has moved to adult’s (while keeping a small production for children) and her eponymous line has won the loyal support of a client base including Maggie Gyllenhaal, Milla Jovovich. The house reflects pretty much the clothes that Ryan creates : quiet, soft, modern, poetic with subtle yet stimulating details.

I've had a big crush on the jewelry collection Finn that my friend Deb Watson introduced me to a few years ago. Soraya Silchenstedt is the master behind those dainty beauties..It was such a pleasure to get to work with her gorgeous collection for my Spring Summer 2012 look book. They have also launched a super sweet second line called minor obsessions...Its all enough to make your heart skip a beat! I personally can't stop thinking about the sapphire love knot ring..just in case my husband is reading this!!!

Finn Jewelry

It’s said a love knot is forever, and for Soraya Silchenstedt, it kind of is. The 32-year-old designer of Finn Jewelry (photographed with model Lakshmi Menon) originally discovered the motif in Mr. Rubin’s third-grade jewelry-making class and has since re-created it in solid gold. The Westchester-raised designer, who draws every design in pencil and gouache, also creates bulbous hearts and animal- and shark’s-tooth pendants—bijous with humor and heft. “That’s what makes the pieces iconic,” says business partner Candice Pool, 34, “that there are these themes in fine jewelry. Our clients are looking for something whimsical but still valuable.” This season, the label debuts a collection of engagement and wedding rings. “The details are very subtle,” says Silchenstedt, “but there’s reasoning to it.”

WOMEN'S FASHION

By CHELSEA ZALOPANY

Eva Zuckerman, the designer of Eva Fehren, a new fine jewelry line, first started tinkering with jewelry while working for Mor Mor Rita, a high-end children’s brand. “Women actually bought my stuff!” exclaims Zuckerman, who put her Cooper Union fine arts background on hold for the opportunity to work for the jewelry designers Philip Crangi and, later, Monique Péan. “They’re such wonderful teachers,” she says, crediting both mentors with instilling in her the importance of sustainable gems (like petrified wood and lapis lazuli stones) and innovative craftsmanship (seen in her delicate gold stackable bands and geometric rings and bracelets). And from the looks of her debut effort, this promising pupil gets a gold star.

Anna PalmaA look from Ryan Roche’s new women’s collection.

Ryan Roche lives in stone farmhouse in upstate New York. She is married with three children. She has chickens, goats and a vegetable patch. For the past nine years she has designed a children’s line called Mor Mor Rita, whose biggest fan may be her friendMaggie Gyllenhaal. (When she and her husband, Peter Sarsgaard, got married, their daughter Ramona wore a dress by Roche.) “She has so much style and her finger on a particular elegance you don’t see anywhere else,” Gyllenhaal says. “I kept thinking to myself, I wish she could do this for adults.”

Now Gyllenhaal — and many other Roche fans — are getting their wish. For fall 2011, the 33-year-old designer has introduced a a full-fledged woman’s collection under her home name. Moms will recognize the delicate fabrics and poetic details, including organic cotton and knit pieces in airy colors of wheat, blush, hot pinks and cobalt blues — the kind of colors she finds blanketed on her goats and flower beds. What’s new are pieces like an ivory silk jumper, wool crocheted market bag and looser silhouettes of apricot-colored hand-knit cashmere sweater tops, bright red crocheted festival dresses and shawls and scarves. Everything is made in Long Island City, Queens and a cooperative of widows in Nepal. “There is a story behind the clothing,” Roche says. “That is so important to me.”

Available at Eva Gentry, 389 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, (718) 260-9033.
