Love, Church + State

My favorite Portland designers Nathaniel Crissman and Rachel Turk of Church + State unveiled their Fall 08 collection a few weeks ago at the lovely Frances May. I'd been waiting patiently for photos of the collection to appear, they have finally surfaced! Everything they make is so thoughtful and perfect with pieces named after states in shades of navy, rust and cream to present a bit of Americana.

From the Church + State "about" page:

if Church + State were a day of the week, it would be Sunday
if it were a baked good, it would be homemade pie
if it were a liquor, it would be bourbon
and if Church + State were a friend, it would be the best one.
