Bat's Daughter
Angela Batinovich is a self-described “daddy’s girl.”
After receiving her master’s degree in business administration from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, Batinovich launched her own company and named it Bat’s Daughter Inc. in honor of her father.
The contemporary line bowed last month during Los Angeles Fashion Week in the Cooper Design Space.
The clean-cut, well-constructed silhouettes come in wool, tweed, silk chiffon and silk charmeuse fabrics with vintage-inspired novelty prints. The collection includes an olive-green wool-blend hunter’s coat ($225 wholesale), a three-piece wool herringbone travel pencil skirt/trouser suit set ($140 for the jacket, $115 for the skirt and $135 for the trousers wholesale), a black floral velvet burnout cocktail dress with gold-and-peach silk lining and black tulle underpinning ($265 wholesale), and a lime-green tweed three quarter–length shrunken blazer ($135 wholesale). The line’s 2004 Fall I delivery dates will begin June 30.
Currently, the line is sold at Collage in San Anselmo, Calif., Odessa in Portland, Ore., Rabat in San Francisco and Jazz in Brooklyn, N.Y. For more information, call (213) 683-4827, or visit www.batsdaughter.com. —Claudia Figueroa
