Susana Mercedes

SUSANA MERCEDES is the rare designer who has avoided logo-centric assembly-line manufacturing to chart her own course in creating truly chic clothing. Susana has her own label to explore the limitless possibilities of fashion. She did not set out to be a maverick, but rather to define fashion on her own terms. She cites life itself among her primary inspirations, along with extensive travels around the world. With the discipline of an artist, Susana devotes herself to each piece she creates by configuring the proper proportions, and paring delicious textiles with vintage couture components. The SM line is designed not only as a series of individual works, but also as styles that can become complementary pieces to an existing wardrobe.

In addition to SM, Her Style Source captures Susana’s penchant for restoring original vintage pieces. Each one-of-a-kind production is given a fresh lease on life, yet the style’s original integrity remains intact. Susana’s unconventional approach on SM and Her Style Source materializes through each beautiful garment produced in her Los Angeles studio. “I don’t limit myself to creating something according to a particular era or season”. Both labels represent the artist’s tribute to women. “I design for all women”. Overall, the SM and Her Style Source is a celebration of the longstanding synergy between fashion and the female form.
