When one of our clothing reps called the other day and offered us the Contrarian Bibb Dress as an online exclusive (at least until pre fall deliveries start shipping), I thought – Is she kidding?! We’ll absolutely take it! Pictured on Taylor Swift below, the dress really does look like something out of a “fairytale“. With its backless bib cut-out bodice and full flowing skirt, it’s the perfect combination between sexy and sophisticated.

Contrarian, which is defined as a person with a preference for taking a position opposed to that of the majority, was created exactly for its namesake demographic. The label is designed by a mother and daughter duo whose goal is to create every piece with a sense of sophistication, but also add a unique and edgy twist. To further elaborate on the reasoning for the name, Barbara Laken (the mother), commented that the launch of the line in the fall of 2009 was “contrary” to many industry opinions due to the poor economic environment at that time. Although I cannot predict the fate of the company, I can tell you that I am loving the current collection and can’t wait to get in the full fall line!
