Designer Profile: Frank Tell
Text by Diana of our.city.lights
One day I believe Frank Tell will be a household name alongside names such as Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui and Zac Posen to name a few. Today, however, he is an up and coming designer from Spain, residing in New York, a relative newcomer to fashion.
I first saw him in Elle magazine’s March 2009 issue and it struck me how young and striking he looked: almost as attractive as his dresses. His Spring 09 line looked like it came off a Godard film set, lots of 60's influence, soft lines, feminine, and whimsical, and yes, even a little reminiscent of Marc by Marc Jacobs!

Fall 09 was a little more grown up, sharper, with more new wave influence and a sci-fi edge. The palettes of creams, grays, black and shimmer give it a softer tone, which contrasts with the sharper silhouette.
Dream Sequins and other bloggers had the opportunity to see his show for Spring 10 during New York Fashion Week, and although I am jealous, I believe they got to see one of the first collections of a great designer in the making.

I'm a big fan of his designs as well. My favorite might be that big chunky knit with that wide leather belt, but maybe that's just because I'm in the mood for Fall things :-)
that first outfit is great
I hope you have a wonderful vacation and trip!
This was a great guest post and I'm looking forward to the other guest blogger posts in the next few days. I'm loving that one shoulder dress. Can't wait to see how he grows as a designer.

Wow, that first dress is a piece I would buy in a heartbeat. The corset-ish belt is a perfect accessory and the cut of that embellished black blazer is ferosh!
