"NEW DESIGNERS: CARLY CAIS
Carly Cais, 28, came on our radar in March when she became a national finalist in Bacardi Limon's Express Your Style Competition. Her whirlwind trip to New York provided the inspiration and impetus to launch a new line of women's wear, Riveted. Although Cais, who lives in Makiki, is an animator by training and has little formal fashion background, she applied her considerable energy and talent (working at night while her 2-year-old, Keiden, slept) to a cohesive collection she debuted in June at thirtyninehotel. Inspired by gritty New York streets and graying late-spring snow, Cais selected a slate-gray wool jersey knit for her sophisticated, sculptural silhouettes. She then sparked it with feminine, pastel-pink accents in cotton knits. "My aesthetic is structured, tailored, body-conscious but not with everything hanging out," the designer said. Her upcoming holiday collection is in ever-popular black-and-white, sparked with crystal accents to add pizzazz to the urbane aesthetic."
