Fancy Pony Land

Fancy Pony Land’s nautical-themed spring line was my favorite collection at Gen Art’s Fresh Faces in Fashion show last fall, which probably has lots to do with my kindergartener-esque predilection for big, bright color and sea creature imagery. Executing her mermaid, shark, and octopus appliqués with all the cheery simplicity of a coloring book illustration, designer Lorna Leedy identifies her fashions as “kids’ clothing for grown-ups” but never crosses over into gaudy cartoonishness. Leedy, a former zoo and aquarium exhibit designer who’s turned her Eurovan Camper into a mobile sewing studio so she can roam the country with her park ranger boyfriend, recently began supplementing her line of dresses, A-line skirts, and tops with Fancy Pony Land-customized jeans. Just send in your favorite pair, and Leedy will sew on silver leather appliqués of cowboy guns, pirate swords, or another bad-guy weapon of your choice.
