Happy Sunday! Today I’m sharing one of our recent design projects for Vanity & Trade, a fashion and lifestyle website by Debra Chen. Debra has a passion for combining business with personality and I love the clean, and chic editorial-style blog design we created. Click through to view the full site!
Since Debra has some wonderful fashion photos, we opted for a blog design without a sidebar, to pump up the magazine-style layout and to make her big, beautiful photos really stand out. The site incorporates a slider at the top, as well as recent posts that have a unique style, which mainly focus on the photos and blog titles. We also added a grid of her recent Instagram photos at the bottom, again focusing on the visual components of her site.
The end result is a site that is clean and simple, with an atypical homepage layout that keeps things interesting. I really dig it and Debra was wonderful to work with! You can view the full homepage layout below. 🙂

Let me know what you think! 🙂 Also, you can view the live Vanity & Trade site here >>
