Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor, a.k.a. Juicy Couture’s creators, are at it again. The godmothers of the sexy sweat-suit and that covetable cool California style have conjured up a new, grown-up label called Bird. The 30-piece line features feminine touches, exposed zippers, and ombre patterns, plus the most wearable black stretch pencil skirt I’ve seen in ages. The price point, though 30 percent higher than Juicy Couture’s, will start at just $150 (and go up to $1000 for leather pieces). Standouts include a faux Mongolian cape (at left) and second-skin leather leggings. To get your hands on the line, go to select Juicy Couture stores and Juicycouture.com, Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, and Net-A-Porter.com in mid July.
