Interview with Lara Miller

Good news for all The Convert readers! We have managed to score an interview with a leading US fashion design, Lara Miller, whose work has been featured on Elle.com, DailyCandy.com, The Today Show, the CBS Evening News, and in publications such as Italian Vogue, Cookie, Lucky Magazine, Vanity Fair, W, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, WWD, and Newsweek, among many others.

Coincidentally, Lara has come up with a line of convertible clothes as well, which is the main reason why we decide to feature her on our blog as well. Do keep a look out here on this column, and meanwhile, do visit http://www.laramiller.net to view her fabulous fashon designs!

While we are still on the subject of convertible fashion, here's something cool for you to view. Dutch vehicle Taga is a brand new concept that allows users to convert the bicycle into a kid's stroller. Pretty neat idea, isn't it. Catch the video to see more.

Design 5: Colourful Bubble Wrap - Will you buy this?

This bubble dress comes in 4 layers of different colours, so by alternating the top colours of the dress, different looks can be created. Now that's a real bubble of joy!

Please take some time to answer the polls, and leave us comments so that we can improve on our designs. Gawky, creative, complicated or totally unwearable? Tell us!!

*To prevent confusion, there are multiple colours and patterns available for the skirting portion of the dress, and when you purchase the dress, you get to pick 4 of your favourites from the selection. This will give you the 4 different looks, as intended by the designer of this dress.

Would you pay $50 for the bubble wrap dress (that includes 4 colours), assuming it has a good fit?

Yes No

Design 4: The Little Riding Hood - Will you buy this?

It's a sleeveless thin jacket to suit the local sweltering heat, but of course this doesn't end here (well it has to fit into our theme, no matter what)! The interesting twist lies in the hood, which is actually attached to the jacket by a zip. This allows the wearer to change the pattern and colour of the hood easily, or even just remove the entire thing to make a really cool outer piece!

Each jacket comes with 3 hoods for variety, with different designs in the store to choose from.

Design 3: That Blue Dress - Will you buy this?

This is a really interesting design of ours. The effect, in actuality is not very obvious, which is why a side-by-side image is required. Basically, the top of the dress was designed delibrately with extra folds of cloth, which can be either pulled or lowered to adjust for the neckline. So perhaps at times you feel extra sexy and confident, or at times you just want to cover up your insecurities; now you can do something about this!

The blue dress is also available in black, luscious red, sunshine yellow and olive green.

Design 2: Reversible Lady's Tank - Will you buy this?

This is a very basic design, yet capable of 2 different looks. Simply turn the white tanktop inside out and you get a black tanktop instead! The tanktop is available in multiple colours (baby pink+baby blue, yellow+green, red+white, brown+orange etc) so you can always find a colour to suit your mood of the day!
