FEATURED DESIGNER :
Falls launched in the Spring of 2007, born from
the collaboration of designers Leong Ong and
Philip Leeming. Philip and Leong share a common
design perspective, influenced by layers of
music, art and photography. Their collection
serves as an eclectic mix of their own
experiences during time spent living and working
in New York, London and Milan.
Philip and Leong's partnership began with their
first retail endeavor in High Falls, NY-a locale that
remains a source of retreat and inspiration. Airy
knits, hand-painted original prints and sculptural
tops and dresses are all crafted with a deliberate
mix of sensuality and consideration. Attention to
color, texture and tailoring pays homage to Leong
and Philip's love of vintage shopping and reading
up on abstract art from the 1950's through the
young British artists movements.

Lucky reporters across the country pick their
city's top spots. Anna Blessing of Chicago
writes, "p.45 always supports local designers,
and it combines newer lines with well-known
favorites. A recent gut renovation updated and
sharpened the interior, so it's even more fun to
stop by now."
Black Book picks p.45 as one of the top design
boutiques around the world.
