Last week's Fashion Focus was kicked off with Fresh Faces in Fashion, a show celebrating the work of up-and-coming style superstars. We had a chance to get the scoop on Siahou, a line of European-inspired womenswear by designer Danielle Weingarten, www.daniellasiahou.com.

How did you come up with the name of your line?

The name of the line Siahou is my mother's maiden name. My mother is French and Siahou is the name of all of my family in France.

What is your design focus?

The design focus of the Siahou collection is high end women's ready-to-wear.

How would you describe your signature style?

The signature style of the collection is modern, sophisticated with a European edge.

What kind of person would look best in your designs and what kind of a lifestyle do you think your collection best suits?

There is no specific age or body type for my designs. This collection is designed for the woman who lives out every aspect of her life, from work to family to social events. The pieces from my collection are designed to transition beautifully from day to evening.

What are some predominant themes in your latest collection?

For Spring 07, the collection is made from beautiful light spring fabrics from silk, modal/cashmere to cotton/linen and cotton sateen. The colors are based on a white collection with black and brown shimmer accent pieces. The look of the Siahou collection for spring is a minimal chic. The makeup is natural look with an emphasis on the eyes.
