Scandinavian minimalism and easy to wear silhouettes are Casey Larkin Blond's design signatures. Although the designer was raised in Texas, her eponymous line is now based in both Austin and Copenhagen. Mr. Larkin was initially launched in 2008 and was produced in San Francisco for three years but was put on hold while Casey focused on raising her family and settling into her new home in Denmark. The label was relaunched in 2013 and has been reinvented with an understated but feminine aesthetic. Aside from her own line, Casey also runs a boutique which features a selection of ready-to-wear, accessories and children's pieces. Mr. Larkin is perfect for the modern woman with versatile pieces that easily transition from on-duty to off-duty.
