A Detacher at NYFW & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up!

November 3, 2016

A Detacher is a creative and unique brand created and designed by Mona Kowalska.

I’ve entitled this particular look Little House on the Prairie meets city chic!

And braids are still a big trend, Ladies.  How come I never learned to make a decent one?

I read an article about Mona Kowalska and find her fascinating.  She’s a big believer in staying creative and designing what she loves.  She’s happy to keep her business small, the staff smaller, and thinks everyone should have a 4 day work week. Her buyer is a small niche market and she likes it that way.

The first small batch of photos are mine and then I used the brand’s PR photos.

What do you think, dear readers?  There are definitely some pieces I would love to wear. And that big pink cocoon?! I wish I was wearing that right now!

    Next best thing to attending a fashion show! Thanks for sharing! Not sure I love most of the outfits but some of the pieces I would like as separates. Although maybe I should start braiding my hair! XO Susan http://www.themidlifefashionista.com

    Some of the looks are pure editorial but I can see how separate pieces could be worn in real life. Thank you for the photos and a link-up

    Detacher sure is a fun brand. I love her oversized ruffles and fun patterns on her neutral/brown pieces. Those skinny braids are fun, too.

    A brand-new linkup is currently on the blog. I’d love for you to linkup this great post and share your scrumptious style with my readers. Thanks and enjoy the weekend!

    I’ve never been into any type of “Fashion Week” stuff because when I see the pictures the outfits all look so weird. I try to imagine just wearing a single piece or taking away a certain element, and it still doesn’t help. As for the braids, too young for me, and if I were to braid and twist into a bun, I’d look too old. So I’ll have to pass on that too! Thanks for the link up!

    • Reply Dawn Lucy November 4, 2016 at 8:57 am

      Yeah, it’s not for everyone. I like the inspiration, though it’s not always easy to translate into something to wear for my day to day life! 🙂

  • Reply Lana November 4, 2016 at 9:32 am

    Add me to the list of those that can’t braid! Interesting designer – I love her outlook towards her business. Her overall look isn’t my style, but there are some interesting pieces. Have a great weekend!

  • Reply Sheela Goh November 4, 2016 at 11:06 am

    There are many pieces in her collection that I would oh so happily wear, Dawn, so thank you for the intro 🙂

    p/s My weekly Project Sister Act Link-Up is now live on the blog, and I’d love for you to come by and join in xoxo

    Ruffles ain’t typically my thing, dearest Dawn…but these A Detacher looks are WAY cool!! There’s definitely a sort of “prairie-chic” esthetic going on – second cousin to boho, right? – and an unexpected edginess, too. I could see myself wearing that first look with the bib-style dress over the cuffed denim…and I also really like the ruffle-embellished blouse with those double-belted jeans. My fave piece, though (just by a hair!) is that slouchy jumpsuit!! Yum!! XOXO

    I agree that that first look is an update on Little House of the Prairie!

  • Reply Laura November 4, 2016 at 7:32 pm

    Ooo! Love those braids!

    What a fun fashion show! I love braids! Such fun looks. I love that gold ish looking skirt!
