KRISTA LARSON

Krista Larson Designs was established in 1994 by Krista Larson. A native of Southern California, she now resides, works and manufactures in Southern New Hampshire. From an early age, Krista was attracted to a different way of dressing. After a year of studying business at the University of Hawaii Krista studied abroad in London and graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a B.S. in Fashion Merchandising and Design. During her final year of college, Krista began selling hats on consignment at local boutiques. After graduating, she continued selling her hats while working at a local men’s manufacturing facility. Trims are unique and ever changing for each collection, and custom prints and jacquards are a brilliant addition to every season. Krista offers up to fifty different fabrics and in up to thirteen colors in almost every style. This makes her pieces almost one-of-a-kind because of the immense selection. Another distinctive feature of Krista’s beautiful collections is the “one size” fits most label. “There’s such a stigma associated with sizing for women. I wanted something that didn’t make you feel badly just based on the number on the label”. Some styles are loose fitting and others are more structured. The fabric choice also influences the size of the garment. Some cottons and linens shrink much more than a silk taffeta. “It really depends on what you’re looking for. There’s something for everyone and most every body type.”
