Mooka Kinney

Rachel Antonoff and Alison Lewis (twenty-four and twenty-three respectively) met fatefully when Alison rented a room in Rachel's west village apartment. Although they now live separately in the w. village, it was in the cozy apartment on West 12th Street that they discovered a shared love for haunting local vintage stores and the empire-waisted, whimsical wardrobes of their childhoods.
Inspired by winged ponies, Peter Pan and other such fantastical things, the girls set to work on their debut collection of dresses, all of which would be fit for a party in a tree-house. Using imaginative, color-saturated cottons and relying on embellishments such as candy colored pony and deer buttons, the girls have created an ageless collection of dresses. Not only is their story wonderful, but so is their collection! Here are a few pieces from the Mooka Kinney fall line:
