Some may consider LA designer Kimberly Ovitz a success already as she started her own label at the ripe age of 25, but it may be that we have only seen a preview of her capabilities. Ovitz grew up in LA but moved to NY to attend Parsons School of Design and apprenticed at J. Crew, and later at Chanel in Paris. Still more impressive was Ovitz desire to attend Brown University and gain a liberal arts education instead of gaining more trade school experience. While at Brown she gained knowledge of the historical structure of women’s and men’s clothing and obtained a degree in Art History.

When Ovitz returned to LA with her portfolio she jumped into her own “schooling” of fashion by working with Tara Subkoff of Imitation of Christ, as an assistant designer at Ya Ya clothing and as a designer for Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent. Equipped with enough experience under her fashionable belt Ovitz was finally ready to let her dream set sail and launched her own line in Spring of 2009. Now in her third collection, Ovitz style represents a minimalist design inspired by architect, Frank Gehry. Ovitz Spring 2010 line consists of wrapped silhouettes, body-conscious dresses and slouchy separates in unique fabrics like goat leather, ‘cobweb’ linen, and stretch Polyurethane.
