Kisses of the Sun
Reiners’s Kisses of the Sun collection draws inspiration from a personal love of vintage clothing, old magazines, and 70s aesthetics, blending energetic colors, prints, and textures. She uses fabrics like chenille, ikat cotton, silk, jacquard, and leather, with unique designs like body-cast leather tops for both male and female models. Reiners’s design process emphasizes inclusivity and creating clothing that makes her models feel good. She hopes her collection will create smiles, bringing light into darkness during serious times. After moving from Tennessee, Reiners is focused on following her dream of creating a brand or designs that spread joy and confidence.
