WOLFE Christianson Launches Debut Fall 2013 Collection

June 7, 2013 Glossy

Wolfe Christianson Launches Debut Fall/Winter 2013 Collection with “Effortless Strength”

Wolfe Christianson is a luxury clothing collection that says “Effortless Strength”. Every woman has an aggressive and free-spirited nature. “Wolfe” represents the aggressive nature and “Christianson” represents the free-spirited characteristics. It’s a new take on the contemporary “UPTOWN MANHATTANITE” or rebellious “UPTOWN CHIC”

Wolfe Christianson is a clothing collection that says “Effortless Strength” – the aggressive and feminine nature of a New York City woman. WOLFE Christianson was born in New York City near Central Park South. After designing for a number of New York based design houses, Taylor McGuire created a collection called “REAL LIFE”. She believes that there is a New York City essence that embraced global culture. She is constantly aware of her surroundings and of her friends, which are her central muses. This season Taylor was influenced in particular by her friends from a city called Paris. “Paris like New York City and other cities like Los Angeles, provides so much incredible fashion inspiration. BUT what I find to be the most inspiring is the STRENGTH & FEMININTY in the New York & Parisian woman. It is about knowing what works for you. The modern day woman requires quite a bit because the city changes from day to day. It makes me want to just see more and more of this modern woman.”
