STYLE BEE READERS SAVE 10% OFF ANY HDH ORDER WITH ‘STYLEBEE10′* My thoughts on each of the 5 pieces + a swimsuit.10+ Looks I created with the Summer Capsule.The 5 Summer Capsule Pieces + a few additions I’m using to style them.To celebrate the summer capsule launch, the HDH team kindly sent me a capsule of my own to test out and use to build a bunch of different outfits to help inspire a packing list for your next trip! Each style comes in a selection of summer ready fabrics, a full range of inclusive sizes and they’re all made sustainably in the Hackwith Design studio in St. This means I need to keep my list concise and include pieces that can work for lots of different looks.Ĭue the Hackwith Design House Summer Capsule, a collection of 5 pieces that can be mixed and matched and easily packed up for a trip. I swear by carry-on only travel but I also love having options. Every piece I design is meant to become a favorite.I often get asked about how to pack for summer travel and for me a good packing list is a balance of essentials, comfort and versatility. That’s why they’re a little bit more neutral or muted colors, because you can mix them with anything. Every piece I make tends to be something you’d wear a lot, over and over in many different ways. Lisa loves working with soft fabrics and toned down colors: “Comfort is intrinsic in everything I make. I usually try to get a variety of tops and skirts and dresses and try to see the pieces working together.” “My husband and I go to my parents’ cabin almost every weekend in the summer, so I kept picturing clothes that would work easily for both, from being at the lake to going to a farmers market downtown. “For my spring line I had this idea of clothes that seamlessly work in the city and the country,” Lisa says. In fact, it is the combination of her rural childhood and love for the city that inspired Lisa’s most recent collection. Paul home, Minnesota was a natural choice, even though it is far away from the world’s fashion epicenters. With all of her family nearby and the backcountry only a short car drive away from her downtown St. However, it is Lisa’s local support and Midwest roots that she thrives on. Hackwith Design has gained an international audience with this collection, with most purchases made from Europe. “But for my spring collection I just did what I wanted and only did pieces that I could live in and that I would love.” It influenced my designs, because I could picture them selling there,” says Lisa. “Before, I’d always think about the boutiques I was sending my collections to. Traditionally Lisa has released twenty-piece collections, but her most recent one has been pared down to seven pieces that can be mixed and matched to create whole outfits, or stand alone as a signature piece. So this spring, Hackwith Design House is changing course. Besides saving money by creating almost her entire wardrobe herself, she has found that focusing on what she loves has given her more direction as a designer. Local fashion designer Lisa Hackwith, who started Hackwith Design House in 2010, is taking her work in a new direction, a move that was inspired by making clothes for her own closet in addition to her commercial work. It’s no secret that designers who focus on what really matters to them are the ones who find true creative success.
