Getting to Know our Designers :: Suno


New York based designer Max Osterweis began his label Suno in 2008 after riots and a damaged economy arose post election in his second home town of Kenya. 
Using traditional Kenyan fabrics that Osterweis had been collecting for years, Max collaborated with designer Erin Beatty to create a small collection predominately produced in Kenya. 
Suno now produces in Kenya, Peru, New York and India, and combines both high end tailoring and traditional techniques and fabrics to create quirky, unique pieces that reflect Osterweis's upbringing in his beloved Kenya. 
Suno provides a refreshing look at fashion with its use of bold prints, eclectic silhouettes, and playful color palettes.
This luxury line has been called one of the most "colorful and optimistic" labels of recent times, with its playful attitude and passion to support the Kenyan textile industry as well as American production. 
We are in love with Suno's new Resort collection, featuring bright florals and dreamy pastels.

New Resort Designers at McMullen

Every season we are on the hunt for new designers who embody effortless, timeless style and fashion forward trends.This Resort season we are more than excited to introduce to you...


Sachin + Babi

Husband and wife, Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia, are the dynamic duo behind the brand. They both "decided to launch their own ready to wear brand to bring couture products for the contemporary girl." The two designers have a strong background in materials and fabrics from their family business in India and from attending FIT in New York. Together, they bring design concepts and collections on what is chic and classic with what is edgy and on trend.


Clare Vivier

Clare Vivier, a journalist then working for French television, was always on-the-go with pen, pad and laptop on hand. Frustrated with designs lacking style, she began to design her own, which then transcended into her own handbag and accessories line that is socially conscious and made in the U.S. Her collection is filled with effortless and ever-so-chic handbags, clutches, wallets and much more. 

ODYLYNE

The ODYLYNE brand is designed by Stephanie Lampkin and her design concepts are derived from the simple blend of bohemian and vintage styles with a hint of modern, clean lines. The brand exudes whimsical and hippie chic and breaks the rules of tongue-in-cheek fashion. 




Pamela Love

New York native, creative guru, Pamela Love, graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Soon after graduating, she launched herself in various projects as an artist's assistant, art director and stylist for shoots, videos and films. 

Unable to find the perfect jewelry that suited her taste, she began to make her own. Through the grapevine, her jewelry and artful pieces caught the attention of trendsetters and soon orders were placed, which then turned into a full-time business.

Pamela Love is inspired by many of her favorite artists and her ideas are fueled by her passion for nature and science, as well as astronomy, astrology, religion, magic and folk jewelry. 


Current/Elliott

With inspiration from vintage denim and Americana roots, each style, wash and cut pays homage to a historical era and time. Creative Director, Serge Azria, syncs innovative ideas and concepts and stylist duo, Emily Current and Merrit Elliott work closely to execute the vision. The brand and designers seek to execute unique silhouettes, classic fits and everlasting aesthetics. In the end, each design entails what we have loved in the past and how we will love each piece in the future.
