The Wildfang Collection is a fashion line made for tomboys. Founded by two young designers who left their corporate jobs at Nike, Emma Mcilroy and Julia Parsley, it might concentrate on a niche market, but considering how prevalent androgynous clothing has been of late, it comes as no surprise that something like the Wildfang Collection has been created.
Based in Portland, Oregon, the Wildfang Collection is appropriately named. 'Wildfang' happens to mean 'tomboy' in German. Tailored to women looking to move away from stereotypically feminine fashion for something a little more edgy and masculine, the Wildfang Collection offers fits that are made for women and looks that will make men envious.
The Wildfang Collection is set to launch on February 1, 2013.
