Janeane Marie
My Spring/Summer 2010 collection is inspired by the climate and colors and mood of Northwest coastal Indian tribes imagery. This collection has more flow and drape than my previous work, but there are still the angles and shapes that I love in many of the pieces. I wanted it to remain modern, with a contrast/balance between the curves and drape and angles and tailoring." --Janeane Marie, designer
