Anna Scholz Autumn/Winter Collection

We've been hearing a lot about mavericks these days. Dictionary.com's definition of maverick is:

1.Southwestern U.S. an unbranded calf, cow, or steer, esp. an unbranded calf that is separated from its mother. 2.a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates.

I would add Anna Scholz to the definition - she's one of few premiere, truly innovative top designers who creates high fashion in sizes 12-28. If I could, I'd wear her autumn/winter collection day in and day out (alas, high fashion comes at a high price). The pieces she's designed for the cold-weather season is a blend of ultra-feminine silhouettes and edgy prints. It's kind of a womanly glam-rock vibe. If Gossip Girl had a plus-size character, she'd wear Anna Scholz. This character would probably pick up her Anna Scholz at Harrods, but the rest of us can find her stateside at Neiman Marcus.

I love this pleated skirt/jacket combo - it's more interesting than a typical skirt suit. It's the perfect blend of feminine powerful.

The styling of these two dresses are spot on, from the slouchy boots on the left to the hot pink tights on the left. So fun and funky!

These two pieces make me yearn for print. I could die happy if I owned the Bird Silk Split Sleeve Dress (on the right).
