Designer’s Designer: Rachel Albright of Academy Jewelry Thinks her Leah Goren Dress is Purr-fect
When Rachel Albright of Academy Jewelry first spotted Leah Goren’s line on Etsy, she immediately fell for the fun-loving prints—which happen to mesh really well with her light and colorful necklaces. Here, she shares the rest of the story and the dress that witnessed it all. —julia silverman

“I love Leah Goren’s work, so I reached out to her, and we became instant (internet) friends. My absolute favorite thing about my black cat dress is its shape—it’s like a baby dress for grown-ups! Every time I wear it, everyone freaks. Plus, Leah stamped it and sewed it herself for me, so I feel like it’s something really special and handcrafted. I happened to be wearing it when I met Leah for the first time, and she was wearing my jewelry. It was a match made in internet-girl heaven!” —rachel
