"I love YSL because he makes clothes that are feminine, yet still strong," Gibbons says. "Rather than a fragile, frilly femininity, YSL makes clothes that are strong and sexy, like the classic women's suit."
Gibbons hasn't decided whether she'll restock the DAM shop once dresses sell, or simply allow them to be almost-one-of-a-kind designs. But fashion fans will have another chance to stock up on her work: Trophy Clothing will have a sample sale from 4 to 8 p.m. on Monday, April 2, at EvB Studio. "Sample sales are where designers sell their experiments, leftover designs, and one-of-a-kind runway items to clear space," she explains. "This upcoming sale is to remove some clutter in order to make room for the future and move forward in a more solid direction."
