So last Thursday I went to an awesome trunkshow for W29 Showroom featuring Karolina Zmarlark’s Fall and Spring Collection as well as these amazing necklaces by Tomoko Igarashi. I don’t know, something about the invite just popped to me and after viewing pics of the necklaces I knew I had to be there! The good folks of W29 Showroom didn’t disappointment providing great cocktails, and having the designers themselves (who I’m sure are very busy) on hand to explain their collection in thorough detail.
Upon entering the Eva Boutique I was met with 5 dangling white maniquins all donning threads from the latest Karolina Zmarlark collection. The line was so futuristic, so new, and so now. I could definitely see edgy fashion chicks who dress to the beat of their own drum, like Rihanna, Roison Murphy, or even Gaga rocking the look. I instantly fell in love with the liquid, one-shoulder jumpsuit and the jackets were great too! Everything in the collection is reversible and versatile; with one snap it gives you the option to wear a look many different ways.
In their rear of the store, I walked into a paradise of chain linked necklaces where jewelry designer, Tomoko Igarashi had her unique pieces on display. I loved every piece, and they weren’t heavy at all! A woman standing next to the designer, wearing a cool, chunky grey sweater tried on one of the silver pieces and it worked like magic! I tried sneaking a pic but was too slow. 
All in all, it was another great night. Yea, monster retail chains like F21 and H&M are great, but I thoroughly encourage you guys to switch it up a bit by visiting different boutiques around the city. You never know what you may find and you can start with Eva at 355 Bowery. Trust, you won’t be disappointed. Tell them La:Dolce:Vita sent you!
