Akris is a European design label that offer long, chic clothing. I don’t have any of their clothes yet, but what I’ve tried on are LONG. The clothes are available at major retail stores, or online at Nordstrom or Bergdorf Goodman.

Maximum $$$ for MaxMara. Similiar to several other Designer Labels I’ve written about, MaxMara offers classic, expensive clothes that are proportioned to fit the tall female. The pants come un-hemmed and have approximately 38″-39″ inseam. The cost of dresses run about $600, coat from $1,500 – $2,000. MaxMara does not have its own website but you can visit one of their stores, buy their clothes at the better retail stores, or go online and purchase items at Nordstrom.

Let’s Rock!!!

It’s time to rock with Rock and Republic (rockandrepublic.com/). As they say on their website, they have a “luxe, yet edgy approach to fashion…. Furthing the company as a true lifestyle brand, Rock and Republic is using its momentum in fashion to influence the world of sports and philantrophy”. They are involved in Rock Racing and Rock the Cure for cancer research.

Rock and Republic is one of the most progressive labels. In their fashion shows they are not afraid to use the latest cutting edge technology. For their Spring 2008 show they asked the lighting designer to make the eyes bleed of the attendees. “It was a 22 minute visual assault to match a cutting edge line of clothing.” Learn more: http://www.rentalandstaging.com/articles/publish/article_1139.shtml
