NEW YORK, Oct 9, 2012/ — With pop culture’s current preoccupation with the supernatural and darkness, be it on television, movies or in books, Jackie Fraser-Swan designing her own label EMERSON was inspired by horror films from two different eras, the 1970s and the 2000s.
So, it’s not surprising that there are a lot of 1970s elements in the collection such as the feminine flowy pieces that is reminiscent of the 1976 film “Carrie” starring Sissy Spacek.
With a definitive 1970s flare, there is also a very 2000s feel seen in the sleeveless peplum tops, peplum blazers & dresses, classic button-down blouses, jersey tank dresses and a sleeveless angle drape dress (an EMERSON staple).
Key styles include a black & white varsity jacket, red velvet flocked tulle tops and dresses, an electric blue structured, three-tier gown and contrast diamond print jacket.
Colors include black/white, electric blue, bright red, neon orange, and purple. Fabrics include red velvet tulle (an important role in collection inspiration), nylon and metal blends, luxurious jerseys and printed silks.
