Christina Minasian, a former stylist, is a designer behind the contemporary line of clothing, called “Pensey”, which she named after the prep school attended by Holden Caulfield, a character of  the “Catcher in the Rye” novel by J.D. Salinger.

Pensey’s first collection appeared in the Fall of 2008, which was an instant his. Featuring metallic pants, banded dresses, poufy skirts with feather underlayers and oversize tops, the Fall 2008 Collection was polished and elegand to satisfy the most dmanding tastes, yet at the same time playfull and with a spice of rebellion.

The new Spring 2009 Collection is breezy and full of casual charm. It tells a story of a girl on the move, always traveling to distant lands,  and in tune with nature. The choice of fabrics and patterns is perfect. I totally love the moto jacket in white. This stylish piece will compliment and refresh almost any outfit you have in your closet; perfect for spring or traveling.

Another piece I’d be happy to get hold of is a floral skirt. Done in silk fabric, this skirt is so feminine and breezy. You can only wish for summer coming sooner once you get it in your wadrobe.

And here comes the jewel of the collection, a piece that impressed me most – the Cosmic print tee. It’s simple in design, yet because of a great choice of fabric pattern, instantly looks like a very unique piece that will add a special charm to any pants that you have. I can picture myself wearing it with a pair of black liquid leather leggings and high heel patent booties.
