Suma C Spring/Summer 2011 LBD

I recently came across this LBD from Suma C's Spring/Summer 2011 collection. I thought it was elegant yet modern and a perfect canvas for accessories and an array of shoes. A good LBD on a gal is essential especially in NYC. They can literally transform any hot mess into a hot success!

Designer Suma C grew up in India and as a young child had an innate interest in clothing, fabrics, design detail, color and texture. Despite her innate interest in fashion and fabrics, Suma pursued an education in Engineering and Finance and worked on Wall Street. After 13 years she could no longer ignore her desire to create beautiful clothing and work with the fabrics and textures that shaped her style sensibility (I love it when people follow their dreams)!

“I believe great design with luxurious fabrics can make women feel beautiful, strong and powerful,” Suma says. Suma C Collection bridges Suma’s Indian heritage, which has given her a true and enduring appreciation for the real significance of beautiful fabrics, with her love of American and European Sportswear.

Suma has some very elegant S/S pieces. Here are two of my favorites.


Above: How much do you love a good dramatic back situation? The front says class and sophistication but when you exit the room it suddenly says "I am also super sexy too and I love to leave them with something to remember, holla!"


Above: I think this is a really cool piece. It looks clean and elegant and would look great with a jacket and a pop of color with a good shoe situation.
