Stone Cold Fox’s Cydney Morris and Dallas Wand have been BFFs since childhood. They spent summers together at Parsons and they travelled to Bali, Australia, and Mexico together. And in 2009 the Venice, California-based duo launched their line of intricately delicate vintage-inspired pieces that are so ultra casual you can slip them on over a swimsuit at the beach.

As the designer half of the duo, Morris infused her inspiration of vintage lingerie and Sofia Coppola’s film The Virgin Suicides into SCF’s SS13 Collection, “The Virgin Bride.” The collection conjures an image of a princess dressed in white sneaking a smoke in the john during a Sunday church service—(almost) innocent, yet sensuous. 
 

Gauzy white dresses, sun-faded floral prints, and lace accents galore rule the collection. The silk/rayon blend Virgin Dress with lace trim and an open back is seraphic, yet simple. The Coppola silk tank top in black is barely there with its asymmetrical hem and crisscross lace shoulder straps that dip down to the small of the back. The Love Jumper in sand-washed silk is slightly more modest—long sleeves and loose-fitted shorts with a side ruffle in a fresh hydrangea print.
