Shredded, Pointed, Drapey: TV

I just learned of this label TV via Studded Hearts, one of my fav blogs.  TV is designed by two friends Monika Tywanek and Ingrid Verner out of Melbourne.  Check out the TV website here. There website lists American Rag in Los Angeles as one of the few US stockists, but I was just there and I'm sure I wouldn't/couldn't have missed them.  I did however find an amazing vintage skirt which I promptly snatched up.
