Designer shares fashion tips as her new line launches in Greenwich

Susan Grua-McGrath and Lauren McGrath, mother and daughter founders and creators of the fashion blog Good Bones, Great Pieces, model items from the Per Se Collection. At right, Lauren is wearing Per Se’s Liason silk and cotton blend sweater set with removable bead pin and Per Se’s Felicity skirt, which is a detailed applique cut out with beading. She has added her own bi-color shoes and a vintage gold stretch cuff bracelet to make the look her own. Suzanne is wearing a Carlisle collection silk twill mataka Manila Jacket in ivory paired with the inside layer of the Per Se Liason sweater set (featured on Lauren). She is wearing the Per Se Opposite skirt which is also a silk twill matka and is based on the ivory and wood color pallette.

Both Suzanne and Lauren are wearing the Per Se Shimmy dress, but for Lauren it has been altered to be nine inches shorter. Suzanne is wearing this with the pearlized leather Paragon jacket from Per Se. She has also added her own earrings and beige Prada shoes with crysals, which are a perfect match. Lauren fell in love with a few items from Susan Klope’s personal jewelry collection and added this to create her own look for this number. She opted to wear the dress with a Klope’s beige Lanvin necklace and a beige Vuitton ring with crystals. She has topped it off with a Fendi suede metal shoe that hints at casual and formal at the same time. This was the grand finale of the event and these ladies show how this shimmer dress can be worn in so many beautiful ways.

Suzanne is wearing the Nasturtium silk jacket from the Carlisle collection paired with the Per Se Cannon top. This top is a stretch jersey with metallic beading at the top and a ribbon trim that goes all around the collar with a dramatic tie in the back. Her pants are the Per Se Voyage cuffed stretched wool ankle pant. She is wearing a Silver Disc Bracelet and Bottega tri-color shoes. Lauren is wearing the Per Se Spree jacket paired with her own St. James striped shirt and Per Se’s Diesel double knit jersey cropped leggings. In addition, Lauren has added her own custom-made bracelets by Mary Kate Steinmiller and her own black ballet flats. Susan Klope is wearing the Per Se Lemon jacket, a glazed twill basketweave jacket paired beautifully over the Per Se Devoted cut-away shoulder turtleneck and the same Diesel double knit jersey cropped leggings seen on Lauren. In this case she’s wearing it with her own patent leather high-heeled sandals. Photo: Chi Chi Ubina/Contributed Photo, Contributed Photo / Greenwich Citizen
