the high desert in the midwest

the skies and lake are turning grayer every day here in evanston. all of the beautiful fall leaves have blown away, leaving barren branches behind.

the mood is shifting, too, as residents old and new begin to feel the winter season looming. it settles into the bones, this sense of imminent meteorological long-suffering.

the best antidote?


color, and lots of it.

enter, chris benz's resort 2010 collection.

inspired by the rich hues of the high desert, his colors run the gamut from blazing persimmon and gold through cornflower, pool, and navy blues. featherweight leather dresses and jackets juxtapose with ethereal silk layered shifts and camis.

and his knits? well, he's kind of famous for them. olive, navy, sky blue, and eames lime: they are mouth-watering.

this american-grown designer most definitely has us ooh-ing and aah-ing over his athletic, modern, yet still enticingly Lady sportswear.

we can't wait to see where chris benz takes us next--but for the moment, we're basking in the brightness of the desert's palette.

say good-bye to seasonal affective disorder. chris benz is in the house.
