    Designer of the Day: Laura Villasenin, Miista

    It was just a few weeks ago, on January 1, when searches for London-based, Spanish-made indie fashion label Miista skyrocketed by more than 5000 percent. That was the day its ‘Shelley’ boots—a sculptural, pointed-toe, and lace-up calf leather style—were worn by the 28-year-old artist and First Lady of New York City, Rama Mamdani, to the mayoral inauguration as the foundation of an ensemble that included vintage Balenciaga, all pulled for Mamdani by stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. Founder and creative director Laura Villasenin maintains that Miista has been “the well-dressed weird one” since it was founded 16 years ago.
