Sometime between the jeans revolution of the 60s and the day glow craze of the 90s, we lost our lust for true style. This modern era of design has erased the excitement of elbow-length gloves. Forgotten is the arrogance of a pencil skirt, and the vanity of a layered, frothy party dress. REVIVAL reclaims the thrill of fashion and the transforming effect of style. Designed in bold patterns, rich colors and high shine, REVIVAL throws caution to the wind and creates pieces that stand out in a crowd.

REVIVAL dress collection is a call to arms - Let us once again embrace the art of dressing! Snatching inspiration from observations and experiences of daily life, REVIVAL creates a unique cut-and-paste cultural collage as a blueprint for each design. Obvious influences in each collection are a chameleon-like love of playing dress-up and an affinity for thrift. Daring color choices, clever fabric combinations and a playful approach to resurrecting silhouettes of yesteryear make REVIVAL a champion of style.

For Fall 2008, REVIVAL marries ladylike sophistication with conspicuous style. For the adventurous, there's the harlequin party dresses and shift dresses with indulgent dynasty sleeves. For the more demure, classic wool suiting finds a perfect match in tonal silk charmeuse. Drawing inspiration from Dolly Parton in 9-to-5 and Melanie Griffith in Work Girl, REVIVAL glorifies the feminine power of women as played out in witty acts of deviance. As always, REVIVAL offers an exhilarating twist on favorites from past eras.
