Style File Interview with Vena Cava

If you haven't had Vena Cava on your radar this year, then we suggest you put it there. The casually dubbed "living room" duo is probably the next Proenza Schouler, and rightly so.

Although I absolutely can not navigate their website at all, I will pretty much tell you that I am in love with their platforms shoes from Spring and their little red flats from a few season ago. Their is also that adorable aesthetic that just goes along with these two, the same feel that Rodarte is carrying with them...two girls, hanging in Brooklyn, putting together some of the best we've seen...I don't know, it just makes us all feel swell inside about that beaming girlish whimpsy that still yelps, "My design concepts are really great too!"
