The Old Ladies Rebellion
I first read about The Old Ladies Rebellion at TrendLand.com a few weeks back. I’ve ever seen a stylish collection for Grandma’s and am excited about this emerging designer market. Anyone who’s considering a lucrative career as a fashion designer should consider designing for the aging baby boomer generation. The designers behind the Old Ladies Rebellion is a French 24-year- old Fanny Karst. Fanny proves that you can be elegant and Rock n’ Roll at any age. All the dresses are made to order, they are printed, fitted and finished by hand!

Sizzle by Coloriffics Montreal Heel for $42.95 is one of the best priced, best deals in cutout heels for Fall I’ve found. The patent leather look isn’t my all time favorite but it does the trick. The heels consist of dual ankle straps, platform sole and 3.5″ heel.
The Kay Dress by BB Dakota $84 is designed in a basic dress style with a hint of 80’s trend peeking through in the shoulder cutouts. The dress has a side split and hidden back zip closure. Constructed of midweight knit jersey consisting of 63% polyester, 32% rayon, 5% spandex.
Zigi Shoes The Diva Heel $85 have been getting a lot of attention, as they should, these 4.25″ cut-out leather peep toe booties with a zipper closure over the heel are tough looking and will dress up anything you put on…but you shouldn’t wear these for too many hours straight or your feet will never forgive you.
Edun’s Ogogo Cut-out Sweater $210 is for those who aren’t interested in trendy cutout clothes but would rather spend a TON of cash on an 100% organic cotton sweater made in Peru by eco-friendly brand.
