Your youthful memories of New Orleans are blurry (at best) and most of them consist of bright lights on a street named after your boyfriend’s favorite beverage.
Take a turn at the edge of the French Quarter and experience a whole new side of the Crescent City thanks to hot young Texan designer, David Peck. His playful cocktail dresses have been gracing red carpets, TV dramas, Refinery 29 and WWD of late, and the new collection is worth toasting. Inspired by the treasures of NOLA—an 1891 Mardi Gras invitation, friezes from the Hotel Monteleone, the inside of a Zapp’s potato chip bag, memories of Commander’s Palace and photos he took himself at Audubon Park—the frocks host a cocktail of colorful prints.
With these pieces, you’re sure to be remembered.
Meet David Peck at our Style Masters event at Malverde next Thursday, May 24th!
