I love it when I find designers who recreated vintage fashion. Especially when they add their own little twist to it. So when I came across Luna's designs, I just had to know more about them - I asked Luna Joachim, a designer located in Brookline Massachusetts with a passion for '50s style fashion to find out how she developed such a passion for classic style fashion.
Q: How did you start designing?
A: “I got into designing clothes originally by modifying the clothes that I would purchase. But it was not until I opened my boutique that I began designing my own clothes."
Q: How did you come to love 50s style fashion?
A: "I can't pinpoint that moment. I've loved the 1950's for many years. The things that draw me to the'50's are the actual design style of different pieces as well as the dignified way of that era. I love the modesty and yet stylish classic style of the '50s. I also love the accessories of gloves and hats. They are a perfect accent to a beautiful outfit."
Q: Do you wear your designs your self?
A: “Yes, I definitely wear my designs. I love the fact that I can find unique pieces in my line.”
Q: What’s your favorite collection so far?
A: “Summer of 2016. I love the colors, fabrics, and styles from that collection in particular.”
Q: Any up and coming collections we can look forward to?
A: "I will be showing my fall collection on my show in October. I'm really excited about many of those. I will be doing some new things in that line that I haven't yet tried."
