In the fashion world, when a new kid comes up on the block, most of them think the only way to steal the scene is to release a full-blown couture collection—complete with oversized petticoats, exaggerate­d shoulders, and stunningly embellishe­d pieces. While it isn’t necessaril­y a bad thing, some people prefer to take the road less traveled. Rhett Eala is a testament to this, having immersed himself in designing clothes for the everyday woman. With a decade-long career in Rustan’s as in-house designer for their women’s line, he became a trailblaze­r in the 90s. Everything he created became a hit with the youth and to sophistica­ted working women alike. He knew the industry needed a little push, so with his unceasing and limitless flair, he started to design pieces that married both the extravagan­ce of made-to-order with the sensibilit­ies of ready-to-wear.

When you breeze through his ready-to-wear collection this season, you’ll see individual pieces—a nostalgic accoutreme­nt of beautiful brocade, lace appliques, jewel-toned prints all in fine, feminine silhouette­s. Today, Rhett continues to create pieces that encapsulat­e a woman’s grace and glamour, all while staying true to his vision and dream.
