What do you get when you mix California’s casual style with the Wild Wild West? A trendy, yet timeless collection known as Post Vegas. If you are into new ways of approaching fashion, then this is definitely a line that’s worth checking out.
Clothing design has always been a part of the life of Harriet Selling, Post Vegas creator. From growing up in Hamburg, Germany, to developing the Post Vegas brand in Los Angeles, her creative juices have flowed throughout her entire journey. Not only have her couture dresses been featured in Milan, Italy, she has also studied art and design in cities, such as London.
Contemporary art fuels Selling’s fire, and it is obvious in her designs. Cowboys and Indians, wolves and eagles, and even newspaper clippings and reward sign images from yesteryear appear on Post Vegas attire. Also, don’t be surprised if you fall in love with her hand-stitched embellishments, which give each item a sense of uniqueness.
Another bonus — Selling designed all of her pieces with comfort in mind using the finest cotton, jersey, and silk. As a fashionista who likes to be comfortable herself, she keeps that in mind while developing her clothes. Selling’s philosophy is: “You shouldn’t have to be worried about what you have on.”
Both men and women are invited to sport this clothing. “We design for an age group of 25-45,” Selling explained, “and we have a variety of styles.” That said, Post Vegas offers a little something for everyone. Whether you are going for an eye-catching dress, or a basic white T-shirt, it can be found within this collection.
“I tried to make modern, sophisticated fashion,” Selling explained. And lucky for us she did! You can pick up some Post Vegas garb at your local Nordstrom, H. Lorenzo, Neiman Marcus, or Fred Segal.

This line looks really comfy, but I can’t get past the part of paying for clothing that looks so dingy? Maybe it is a trend I am going to have to get used to!

I totally know what you mean Denice. However, coming from a gal who enjoys a diverse style of clothing, esp. that of vintage couture, I think this line def provides a fresh and eccentric twist on retro fashion. Also, nowadays, and much to the chagrin of my often low available credit card balance, vintage couture is often synonymous with posh price.

Do you mean vintage, as opposed to dingy? Because I actually have one of the shirts and it is incredibly comfortable…and cute =) As Mellori said, it’s very in style right now too.
Also, the fact that Harriet appreciates the American Wild Wild West culture is pretty cool. She’s putting history in fashion.

I guess this is where my age comes in to play =) I need to start embracing the “vintage” look! I will have to dive in and test the waters. Like I said, they do look super comfy!

I own a couple piece of Post Vegas, and to tell you the truth, its fast approaching to be one of my favorite brand. The clothing material is amazing, very light and comfortable. The design is not dingy but more along the line of vintage. The craftmanship of the design is worth the money. Maybe its just me, but the clothes have a nice rebel feel to it.
