After more than a decade in Little Italy, the designer craved more space and reduced hours so she could re-focus on building the contemporary clothing line those loyal fans love so much. The fall collection’s shirt jackets and silk T-shirts, hung on stainless steel rolling racks surrounded by perfectly placed industrial and romantic fixtures, are pure Ewanika.
She’s pared back the accessory collections, but customers would revolt if she stopped carrying finishing-touch favourites like Ça Va De Soie knits and CB I Hate Perfume scents.
