Went to that Gen Art event the other night and there were quite a few designers that we carry at Azaleas: Lara Kazan, Clo and Yumi Kim. But there were a bunch of other emerging talents that we are glad to have found. Here's a sampling:
Sovereign Beck - A cool, sophisticated necktie line that may not be for us but definitely for our stylin' boys
Here are some ties I found on their site (love the photos) but you'll have to stay tuned for their fresh-looking Spring 2009 collection as its not yet up online.

here's a snapshot of some of their cool prints

check out their site at sovereignbeck.com
Jewelry - there are just too many jewelry designers out there. I wasn't that into this line but my friend pointed out this one charm necklace and the psycho in me has to have that block butcher knife.

my fave line that i heart heart heart and wish we could carry at azaleas was the label linus. the designer is sweet and the collection reminds me of stella mccartney's line. the simple lines, rich textures and subtle prints and details are just exquisite and is worth every penny.
this is the dress that i was coveting but when i swung by for the second round it was already taken. you best not be wearing that dress in front of me or i just may tear it off of you.

i DID get the dress in black tho and that's probably easier to justify.

oh, and almost forgot. we were on our way out and only got to check out the line briefly, but what this designer is doing is also pretty discerning: whistle + flute
