Trends ebb and flow like the tide, but we think New York line Sea is here to stay. Sean Monahan established a career in finance before finding himself awash in a wave of talent for creating gorgeous garments. With the goal of making women grin, this designer has produced a collection of feminine frocks, from sweet day dresses to sultry evening numbers. Keen attention to fit and fun detailing keep Sea’s pieces flattering but playful. Monahan must have reached his goal because we can’t stop smiling when we slip into Sea.
