We've been following Brooklyn indie-avant-garde designer Rebecca Turbow for years and years now. Does anybody remember that dress that looked like a spacesuit? What about the mint green dress fashioned to look like a '50s housewife apron? Kooky, wacky, or sometimes just darn pretty, Turbow's come a long way from her days of space boots and sci-fi helmets. Behold: Her line Safe's fall '09 lookbook, a sleek and polished take on minimal black-and-white dressing. She's even branched out into menswear, with cute matching looks for gal and guy pal. We love the ruffled dress with origami detailing (easy to wear with a touch of her conceptual flair) and matching vest for dudes (the origami detailing there cleverly looks like a fanned and folded napkin). At this rate, it's only a matter of time before she gets catapulted into the limelight and starts scoring Uniqlo deals and all that. Start the star watch now, and don't say we didn't warn you.
