JESSICA OGDEN-'ON THE SHORE' S/S2006
by Princess Julia

The craft of Jessica Ogden has established her as a leader of romantic style. Layer upon layer of crisp cotton, Lolita like baby doll dresses with the most dramatic ruching. Her delicate shell and bow bags completed the festooned voluminous puffs and ruffs that have become her signature. Even her low-slung tomboy shorts seemed effortless, carefree and confident. No wonder every woman wants to own some Ogden magic.
