Ship to Shore

Decorated with twig bundles, sepia-tone photos, taxidermied birds, and a velvet fainting couch, R. Brooke Priddy's atelier is as blithely romantic as her designs. Nearly all of her feminine, custom-made pieces have a mermaid-y feel—asymmetric panels of chiffon or silk hug the torso, then flare into dramatic hems.
