NYLON's May issue features two new labels that fit perfectly into every college girl's wardrobe.

University of Colorado Boulder grad's Kate and Amy met on their first day of drawing classes and instantly became best friends and artistic inspirations to one another. They re-located to New York, took classes at Parsons, and branded their East Coast/West Coast style. They offer gorgeous, well-crafted pieces that display the singular style of a bi-coastal woman. A tea dress in rich, saturated green with peacock feathers or a retro strapless cocktail dress with a crystal brooch are standout pieces of the new fall 2008 collection, but the entire line is filled with glamorous, slightly bohemian, pieces that will easily add sophistication and fun to your summer wardrobe, and seamlessly translate into office-appropriate or meatpacking-district-lounge-worthy. The spring line is heavy in Stella McCartney-esque florals and Lanvin inspired girlishness and it reminds me of Jovovich-Hawk meets Elizabeth and James, which is fitting, considering each line integrates the appeal of each coast into really unique and wearable separates. All pieces are available for purchase on the website or at Montmartre in Columbus Circle in Manhattan or Sienna in West Hollywood and range from $185-$400.

FIT graduates Mari Kussman and Abigail Lewis met while fashion design students, and the two share an esoteric, 1920's inspired look that eventually led them to create a line of headwear, Delusions of Grandeur. The name evokes the loss of grandiose dressing of the flapper era, in addition to the more handcrafted and signature appeal of individualized dress which has gotten loss in a sea of consumerism and mass marketing (The Gap, H&M, cough cough). Each piece is handcrafted insuring one-of-a-kind designs perfect for the Grey Gardens woman in you to come out, revolutionary costume and all.
