'Black Pearl' by Samantha Rei
I was honored with the opportunity to work again with Samantha Rei, one of the Twin Cities most stylish designers and Project Runway Season 16 contestant. Don't know here? You should! Check out these articles on this inspiring designer:

I worked with Samantha Rei years ago under her Blasphemina's Closet Label for her 'Second Star' collection and was delighted to see those photographs published in HER LATEST BOOK. When she approached me to work with her again, it was like... ummm yeah! Is that even a question?
This time, we were celebrating her latest collection "Black Pearl', a line inspired by 1920's Shanghai. Beautiful silhouettes, textures and details, this collection captures the most beautiful aspects of vintage style. With a tagline of Beauty. Strength. Rebellion, Samantha strives to help women feel confident, strong and comfortable in their own skin.
