Designer of the Week:

The Designer of the Week is Michael Ball. He is the owner and head designer for Rock & Republic, a collection defined by denim reinvented with a modern edge and feel inspired by rock and music. You can locate many of his designs at Bloomingdales, Barneys New York, and Bergdorf Goodman; or go directly to http://www.rockandrepublic.com/. The brand has expanded with a full ready-to-wear collection, as well as beauty, eye wear, handbags, maternity, and shoe lines, and has plans for its' first three freestanding stores in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and New York.

I chose the outfit above from his 2009 Spring Collection that he launched at Fashion Week New York.
