| HARVEY FAIRCLOTH is dedicated to creating spirited, off-kilter classics for modern women.
The fearless creators are friends from the American west: Katie Hatch, Abby Clawson Low and Mara Papa whose forebearers were pioneers, rodeo queens, barrel-racers and goldminers,
making them tough and unafraid of hard work and high temperatures. You could say that their impossibly chic and razor-sharp clothing has a certain plucky,
pioneering spirit. They were also the kinds of girls who spent lots of time with their noses in books, learning classical languages and minding their manners.
This is what you might call a beautiful contradiction. And this is really the idea behind HARVEY FAIRCLOTH.
AND WHO IS HARVEY FAIRCLOTH? That's a very good question. He was an elegant older gentleman Katie sat next
to at a wedding in the Berkshires. She seems to remember that he once scaled Everest, shot newsreels and may have been in outer space. She was a bit heady from too much butter cake but that was the gist.
"Hey kid, you've got to follow to your dreams," he said, or "We must press on regardless." Something short, optimistic and irrefutable. They have borrowed his name as a petite homage and they hope he
doesn't mind too awfully much. |
