Channeling Claire McCardell

The bloomer is back! Perfectly pleated and delightfully draped, shorts this spring follow the aesthetic of the greatest American designer to date. Claire McCardell originated the all American look, along with the halter dress, ballet slipper, popover dress, and of course bloomers. I am so pleased to see the look back on runways and wardrobes, I cant wait to get my hands on a pair of Phillip Lim’s super comfortable yet ultra fashionable drawstring version.
