hi low

Hello friends!

we are BIG fans of the maxi dress/ maxi skirt trend - and most currently, the "midi" length trend as well. These trends have played a key role in a large portion of our designs lately. For us, comfort translates into confidence which easily translates into sexy. That's why we adore the "maxi" and "midi" so much! we cant stop making dresses and skirts in these fantastic lower hemlines! (plus they're totally comfortable and you don't have to worry about accidentally giving anyone a peep show when you get out of the car (a la Brit Spears)

 The following photos are from a recent Vegas trip. Nissa and I went against the grain of typical "clubbing" style, and opted for MAXI'S instead! Nissa on the left is wearing a Rainbows Noir - Chantilly lace cropped tube top in black paired with Rainbows Noir - silk chiffon maxi skirt in a burnt orange abstract leopard print.

Heidi is wearing a Rainbows Noir - backless maxi dress with overlay ruffle top, and asymmetrical hem (It's the same dress in our previous post being modeled by Emily)- and we are both wearing Jeffrey Campbell platforms - OF COURSE!!

The following photos were taken at our best friend, Jessie's, wedding rehearsal dinner.

Heidi is wearing a Rainbows Noir - low back, midi / asymmetrical length dress with ultra skinny straps which cross and tie at back - in a black rayon vintage floral fabric. This dress is similar to the black maxi dress which Nissa is wearing in the pictures, in that it has the cropped ruffle overlay as well.

Thanks for looking!

P.S. If anyone is interested in any Rainbows Noir designs you've seen on our blog, just email us and we will happily create a custom piece for you! Heidi can be reached at: heidiangelika530@gmail.com, and Nissa can be reached at nisskittin@gmail.com

P.S.S. we're totally affordable too...

crop it up

Yay for summer! (...if we ever get nice weather!), nevertheless, yay! for summer time wardrobes! One particular trend we have found ourselves embracing quite frequently this spring/summer has been oversized/crop tops. They are a perfect wardrobe edition for this time of year being that you can pair them with maxi skirts, shorts, and high-wasted bell bottoms without looking like a total sack of potatoes. and keeping the crop top a bit over-sized prevents you from looking like the hoochie mama's you see workin the boulevard downtown.

Obesity and Speed - Black net crop trapeze top at Pixie Market

Over-sized crochet top at Free People

Eyelet cropped cami at Free People

Anywho, we whipped up this lil crochet/lace number, and are quite pleased with the result. We used a soft cotton black lace/crochet-ish fabric, cut over-sized and cropped with elbow length bell sleeves which are adorned with black crochet trim. enjoy rainbows noir's latest creation :)

We have TONS of new pieces we can't wait to show everyone. Stay tuned!!

Have a great day!

Ready for spring?

The 70's are back in a big way for Spring 2011... Everywhere we look we are seeing a plethora of "free love" and "disco" era themed styles, including bell bottoms, bohemian style blouses, hippie dresses, halter tops, tunics, and of course maxi skirts...

We will gladly admit that we have both fully jumped on this trend bandwagon willingly... (any excuse to wear loose, comfortable, and flowy clothing is more than OK in our book!)

with that being said, we have been busy making some new items for our personal clothing collections. (still working on samples to hopefully sell in the future...promise!)

current obsessions of ours include maxi skirts, silk prints, peasant blouses, poncho's, capes,  and all things lace or crochet. Here are some of the pieces we've made recently...

black silk long sleeve blouse with uneven hem and peasant sleeves

black sheer silk chiffon maxi skirt with fishtail back

off white burnout cotton jersey poncho with crochet trim

Black lace cape / kimono

 ..... maybe someday we will bring some color into our wardrobes.... we just love black and white soooo much, we can't help it!
