For anyone who knew Claire, it was well understood fashion was not a choice but an essential way of life. She would spend days sketching designs from casual to evening gowns. She dove in headfirst into her school’s newly launched green fashion show (now held in her honor every February) to design dresses out of recycled materials such as newspapers, candy wrappers and Lilly Pulitzer shopping bags. Her friend Mary was always snagged as her favorite model!
She shadowed handbag designer Danielle Nicole in New York and attended a summer design seminar at Savannah College of Arts and Design. She happily styled friends for special occasions, either from her “collection” in her bedroom or stashed in the trunk of her little white Rav 4. She adored the classics of Audrey Hepburn and Coco Chanel, adopting the attitude it took as long to pop-on something cute as it did to wear a pair of sweats. Claire believed by surrounding yourself in color, texture and creativity, in your home or wardrobe, any day could be made better and happier. In short; we all can joy and adventure in the smallest of things.
With that, perhaps you can understand why we were thrilled when Baltimore couture designer Ella Pritsker offered to create a denim jacket to mark Claire’s 10th Angelversary! We connected Ella with Claire’s friend, artist Katherine Boggs to create a special design, representing Claire’s joyful spirit. Katherine’s artistic inspirational vision with Ella’s exquisite design! It’s exactly what Claire would have loved and so exciting they came up with two separate jackets; the “Claire” with a distressed coral seashell and the “Claire Coral” with a watercolor rendition of a sunset.
Both are on a classic, distressed, fitted denim jacket; unique in style with customized cuffs and collar. Perfect for any mood or occasion! Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the melanoma prevention programs of the Claire Marie Foundation! Yayyy! Celebrate Claire with us!
