Check Out: Oonagh by Nanette Lepore

Nylon Mag reports that contemporary designer Nanette Lepore is joining a slew of other designers this Spring by launching a diffusion line of tees & tunics that will retail for $58-178 in her boutiques. It's funny because although I didn't notice the launch before Nylon pointed it out but it's already available for purchase on Neiman Marcus, Shopbop, Bloomingdales, Saks 5th Avenue and Revolve clothing.

Anyways the new line called "Oonagh" means "pure" in Scottish. These pieces are meant to be more casual, soft and drapey. They definitely feel more laid back and downtown than her feminine tailored signature label. What do you think?
