Fashion Windows: What was the inspiration for your Milly Spring 2014 collection?

Michelle Smith: I wanted to turn the traditional notion of femininity on its head,creating my own ultramodern interpretation. I used luxurious, technical fabrics that played with the eye and unveiled the female form in unexpected proportions.

 

What were your favorite materials and hues used in the Spring 2014 collection?

I used my own custom-made prints, based on Japanese and Hawaiian florals, inspired by a trip I took to Hawaii and Tokyo earlier this year.

 

What are your favorite looks in the collection?

The first and last few looks were my favorite–I like to make a statement at the beginning and the end. Fun fact: the model wearing the last look, Loulou Robert, starred in my first international print advertising campaign, which I launched this fall.

 

What’s next for MILLY?

I just redesigned my ecommerce site, (millyny.com) and launched my first blog, The MILLY Mag, (blog.millyny.com). There are a lot of exciting projects in the works.

 

Anything else to add?

Yes! I just made some really fun limited-edition t-shirts based on my new favorite phrase, “Sorry for Partying.” I made one for myself and wore it with a cocktail skirt to a gallery opening and the response was wild. I gave them away at NYFW, and decided to make them available to everyone.
