INTRODUCING: COWGIRL CLOSETS

Your outfit is a form of self-expression. Imagine what your wardrobe says about you.

 Have you ever walked into someone else’s closet for the first time, someone perhaps you don’t know all that well, and felt like it was an eye-opening experience? Like you gleaned a deeper, new – maybe even unexpected – insight into that person, how they live, what they most appreciate? Maybe it’s shelves and shelves of shoes, hooks full of handbags, or hanger after hanger of biker jackets and ballgowns. Perhaps you’re in awe of the minimalism and almost compulsive curation; maybe you feel comically comfortable in the chaotic clutter. Regardless of what you behold behind those doors, a glimpse into someone’s closet is a glimpse into who they are.

“As strange as it may sound, when you think about it, an invitation into someone’s closet is an intimate gesture,” said Cheryl McMullen, designer for Double D Ranch. “You can infer a lot about a person from that small portion of their home. In concepting this collection, I suppose I did that in reverse. I took what I knew and felt about a few women who intrigued me, for vastly different reasons, and imagined what might be in their (also vastly different) closets. Rather than reinventing them, I incorporated some elements from their wardrobes into more modern styles with a Double D spin.”

The Spring 2021 collections, Cowgirl Closets, were inspired by women who made unique impressions in their own right, whether they were cowgirls or characters, real or fictional. The first collection drop, Maria, channels the leading ladies of the 2006 film Bandidas. It balances sexy and sophisticated, feminine and fierce, and it introduces embellishments and accessories unlike any we’ve ever created, like a corset-inspired belt and soutache suspenders that celebrate the structured silhouettes of the setting.

Time to get in touch with your sassy side.
