What started as a quick pop-in to see Amanu’s latest collection at The Sunset Tower turned into a full-on deep dive with Anita Patrickson, the ever-effortless stylist-turned-designer and longtime friend, in from South Africa and fully in her creative stride. She’s not just crafting the perfect leather sandal (above) anymore; Now it’s sculptural bags and beautiful belts. Every piece feels elevated yet practical in that far-away, barefoot-on-the-beach-meets-sunset-soiree kind of way. Not surprisingly, she was dressed to the nines too in the embellished Alexis skirt, above. I'm thinking about snapping it up in black--along with the rest of her new collection.
