"Thanks for this - it is a great item and I cant wait to wear it!!! Will keep looking for more cool stuff..."
"The dress is beautifully made. Thank you !"
"i LOVE this shirt! i am so impressed with the style and the professional look...thanks!"
"Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! I cannot say anything bad about this dress. I love it."
These are just a few of the many positive responses fashion designer Anna Kim has received since starting her Brooklyn-based label Lemonstory in May 2008, just two months ago.
She came up with the name 'Lemonstory' because she thinks of the color lemon as bright and warm, so whoever wears their own Lemonstory item will feel happy and warm as well.
Anna attended Parsons The New School for Design where she received a Bachelor of Fine Art degree in fashion design. Since then, in addition to creating Lemonstory, she has worked for a fashion design company and also does freelance work for several companies at the moment.
Lemonstory offers quality clothing and accessories, all handmade by Anna, which are infused with style and abundant with exceptional details. All the designs are trendy, feminine and wearable so they would easily fit into the daily wardrobe of any fashionable lady.
According to Anna:
"A little piece of clothing is art that is going to be the closest thing from the body. It is going to change the look, the character, and the mind of a person wearing."
"I have always dreamed of creating something unique, beautiful, and one of kinds. Then I found Etsy, handmade market, which made me so happy to open my store with other amazing artists.
All items are from sketching, swatching, draping, pattern making...step by step. I spend many hours to find right designs. For Spring/Summer 2008 my inspiration is adolescence. I wanted to create something very pure, young, pretty also mature, unique. I am always inspired by art, colors, music, stories...so many things around me."
Each Lemonstory item is uniquely priced and current merchandise ranges from US$54 to US$110, with the exception of a brooch for US$18 (shown below).

Hi danz!! I love the grey/black dress-so totally stylish and creative!! Have a lovely weekend!
the sleeve details are so pretty.
Nice post. You are writing so professionally and objectively. Are you studying journalism, Danz? Been wondering for a while:)
I have never heard of Lemonstry before; maybe that's because it's just 2 months after the launch. But the pieces look really great and I must take a look at her Etsy store. Thanks for posting about her!
Interesting shapes but it's the brooch that's really got me interested.

Hi Danz
She is amazing. Thanks for sharing indie designers with us. I hope one day I'll do the same, then you can write about me too : )
I like how in depth you got, but I am not super excited about the clothes or brooch. OK, maybe the blouse. A little bit.
wow!! so beautiful. love her work, i'm off to check out her etsy store right now!
Lovely post, Lemonstory is such a great name, I like the idea of being warm and bright as well! The grey dress is just lovely, beautiful cut, specially the back! :)
Ps. Adding you as well! :)
Wow, her stuff is so lovely. Going to heart her shop right now. Thanks for the heads up!
Those are cute things. I especially like that dusty teal top you showed first.
wow those clothes are simply chic, great lines and effective tonality, love it! and sweet story behind the name itself :)
Handmade clothing is so hard to find in boutiques these days . . . seems like she is really great with fold and draping. Those blousy shirts look both comfortable and pretty! Btw D, someday you and I should start our own IRL magazine!!!
talented as alway

Gorgeous girl! How the heck are you? I missed you like crazy! Thank you for the sweet comment, I had such a lovely time. It was tough to come back, but I'm glad to be home safe!
I really did buy way too much, put a lovely dent in the Visa and need to stay away from shopping for a good while. For your last post, I picked up a pair of super awesome white jeans in SF, I can't wait to wear them! EE!
