Want a tee that’s sleeker than just a shirt, or a sweater that’s better than mere marl? Meet Erin Kleinberg and her cool collection of semi-couture separates.

Erin Kleinberg launched her eponymous line in the summer of 2008 in an attempt to bridge a gap in the market with her collection of semi-couture tanks, tees and cardigans – making the perfect way to translate laid-back luxe into your wardrobe in the process.

Having previously worked at W magazine, under the guidance and supervision of Alex White, the American designer created her namesake line as a result of her love of design and excellent entrepreneurial skills.

Her collections come cool and comfortable with an eco-friendly twist, complete with hand-sewn beading and embellishments; it’s the aim to provide the ultimate in luxury, yet still maintain an overruling relaxed vibe deeply rooted throughout.

And people are paying attention – the likes of Karlie Kloss, Taylor Momsen, Kim Kardashian and Blake Lively have already enjoyed the effortless, easy elegance that comes as a custom of Erin’s designs.

Oh, and might we just add, both the collections and the designer have been featured in such international editorials as Teen Vogue, Elle, InStyle, Women’s Wear Daily and Nylon.

Not bad, huh?
