This is something I guess I've been meaning to write about for a while, but I just haven't gotten around to it until now. Rebecca Turbow is an independent designer behind the line SAFE that I have love-love-loved ever since I read about her in Nylon about a million years ago (back in the day, before it started sucking) and checked out her website. She always had only a few pieces up for sale on on her site, but they were always either not in my size, or not in my price range. Nonetheless, I was so in love that I would check back almost weekly in the hopes that there would be something in my size. There never was, but that didn't diminish my love (well, maybe a little bit). She fell off my radar for a while recently, but imagine my surprise when I checked back a couple days ago and saw she actually has her full Fall 08 line on sale in different sizes! I still can't really afford it, but it makes hoping easier!
The whole idea of her aesthetic is rounded corners, soft fabrics, and modern lines, all put together to form garments that make one feel safe and comforted. This season's line is actually vert different from those of past seasons, but I guess that I should really stop being surprised at all the grey I've been seeing lately. 
I've seen a definite evolution over past seasons, from the insane astronaut/alien padded ensembles of '04 to this season's styles, which are definitely the most sophisticated (and wearable) than those of past seasons. 
My all time favorite is still the the fabulous embroidered petals of Spring '06. They're still what I'm lusting over, but alas, they are no longer available. I guess perhaps I should have just bought on of the skirts in a smaller size when I had the chance, if only to look and touch it.
