Introducing Jay Godfrey


New York-based designer Jay Godfrey is the founder and creative director behind his eponymous collection of sleek, sexy and sophisticated designs. Perpetually inspired by the chic New York woman, Godfrey’s goal as a designer is to meld the classic tailoring techniques of Savile Row with modern silhouettes and luxurious fabrics. The result is his distinctive contemporary collection of dresses and separates that accentuate the female figure.
Godfrey realized his dream of becoming a designer while working his first summer job at Hugo Boss. He studied finance at Montreal’s McGill University in order to gain a grounding in business and accounting. Upon graduating, Godfrey headed to Wall Street and worked for Citigroup. While learning the finer points of finance, Jay’s goal of designing a collection led him to Parsons School of Design. An internship with Oscar de la Renta fine-tuned the young designer’s style and technique, and helped him determine the ultimate Jay Godfrey woman.
We have tons of new arrivals from Jay Godfrey including an amazing yellow and gray ikat halter dress that is perfect for a summer party or cocktail hour. Dazzle on a red maxi that can be easy dressed up for an elegant event. We are loving our one shoulder kimono sleeve Godfrey dress in magenta!

Trendy Tunics

The tunic is a piece that we are seeing everywhere and on everyone! Probably because it flatters almost all body types! It can be dressy or casual and with summer right around the corner, we are seeing tunics of all colors, adorned tunics and even the beach cover-up tunic! As the warm weather arrives, here are a few ways to look totally chic in a tunic!

To dress up a tunic, look for a shear or silk material. A chiffon tunic is not only breathable, but very comfortable! Silk tunics can be equally comfortable and are also appropriate for dressier occasions. If you go with the chiffon, you can layer a light weight tank under it. When you're looking for a more formal look but are free to do away with a blazer or suit, try a loose blouse-style tunic with three-quarter length sleeves. You can pair this with a pencil skirt and a pair of wedge heels for a stylish and contemporary look. 

Go flirty by putting your tunic over leggings and adding a pair of wedges. They also look great over skinny jeans! If you go with a wild print, stay classic with the jewelry. If your tunic is solid, you can play around with color!

For a more urban and sporty look, try a sleeveless tunic and pair with gladiator sandals. You can even layer on a sleeveless denim vest to go ultra hipster. Add small gold bangles up your arm and you are good to go!
