Designers to Watch: Part Two

Designer: Erin Barr, 28; based in New York.

Retailers: Chezelle, Charlotte, N.C.; Bejewel, Houston; Le Privee, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Brand philosophy: “Laid-back ease — that accessible luxury quality, and it’s all made in the U.S. I also like contrasting the tomboy versus the classic chic kind of sexiness.”
