I've seen Gryphon at high end department stores and designer boutiques - but never knew much about the history of the label. Interestingly enough, the label was started by a woman named, Aimee Cho (woot woot), who was a former fashion editor at Vogue turned designer. (This basically sounds like my life dream come true, what a bitch! Just kidding).
The label was founded off a closet staple: the iconic trench coat (hmmm sounds a little familiar, ahem, Burberry) and branched out to include everything from edgy tees to romantic frocks!
Check out some looks by Gryphon on my favorite fashion search engine: Shopstyle.com
OK TRUTH - I am totally busted. What inspired this post today? Well I made the mistake of logging into Gilt Groupe and was lucky enough to put this little number in my cart! It originally retails for $450 and I actually used an old credit so all I had to pay was $12 measly dollars for shipping! Woo Hoo!
I am loving the little print - which you cannot see in the picture but they are actually teeny tiny minature hearts. I am going to pair with the Stuart Weitzman huggie booties and pair with sheer black tights with pin dots ala Balenciaga Autumn/Winter 2009-10 line.
