What can we say? We’re on a wear-it-more-ways-than-one kick this week that can’t be stopped. First, we mentioned Sofie Olgaard’s versatile spring dress. Next, we highlighted new looks from Please Dress Up, whose Infinite Possibilities collection features a series of pieces that can be worn in a slew of different configurations.
Today, we’re turning our switch-it-up style spotlight on up-and-coming label Revelation by M.E., a San Francisco-based line launched earlier this year by FIDM graduates Myrda Monasterial and Eloisa Serrano.
For their spring-summer 2009 debut collection, the design duo offers up form-fitting dresses that are ready to part-ay any night of the week, but can be worn in at least four ways (you know, in case you don’t have time to run home to change in between engagements).
We had the chance to stop by a recent photo shoot at SoMa’s Barber Lounge to check out the line and view designs from the forthcoming fall collection, which features even more moving pieces that can be worn in multiple ways to create different looks. We’re excited to see what’s next for this local San Francisco design team.
Want to get your hands on Revelation by M.E.’s spring-summer collection? It arrives at San Francisco boutiques Mingle and Union B next month.

SF Indie Fashion’s Lorraine interviewed the independent design duo behind Please Dress Up today on the 7×7 Glamwatch blog, but there wasn’t enough room to post all the great images the designers – Grant Doolittle and Judy Berberian – sent from their latest shoot.
Luckily, we’re able to post them here so everyone can see the latest wearable eye candy from the once-local label that relocated to Paris late late year.

We were so flattered to discover SF Indie Fashion mentioned as one of the local fashion web sites featured on KTVU television show Malou Review on Sunday. Local jewelry designer and boutique owner Meggie White sat down with host Malou Nubla to dish about her favorite sites for hunting down the latest fashion finds. Also on her radar? FabSugar, Appel and Frank and etsy. Talk about being in good company….
To view an online video of the program, click the image above to go to the site. If you want to check out the show online (and we hope you do), the fashion segment appears about half-way through the program, about 13 minutes in. If we can get our hands on a short clip of the segment, we’ll post it here in a follow-up.
We’re having a love affair right now with clothing that can be worn multiple ways. We love the versatility of this dress from San Francisco designer and Gen Art Fresh Faces in Fashion 2008 alum Sofie Ølgaard.
Wear the sash around your neck for a shoulder-slimming, A-line look (we might even sport it in a bow or geek-chic bow tie for kicks) or wrap it around your waist to create a pretty, hourglass effect. You could also do away with the sash completely or sub in a colorful belt to create a ton of different looks. Don’t even get us started on the fab possibilities sure to unfold were a cute cardigan, patterned leggings or skinny jeans to collide with this piece….
We hear Sofie will be launching an online store in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. In the meantime, check out her work at The Mission Statement.
