Lynn Mizono Fashions

Fashion designer Lynn Mizono, who lives in a home that she designed for herself on Whidbey Island (north of Seattle, Washington), creates women's clothing with a geometrical flair. Her clothes are about shape rather than color. Mizono says, "I do not feel a sense of completion about a particular design until it is actually inhabited by a real body, for only then can the clothes come alive." The lovely, iridescent Manuscript Blouse (left) with the fanciful collar is made out of Italian fabric. Angel Shirt (below) is made with an asymmetrical cut to allow for full, free movement. I like these simple but elegant designs. You can see more of Mizono's designs at the Artful Home.
