I'm a Nordstrom Designer—These Are the Summer Items I'm Most Excited About

Learning what’s on the shopping lists of various industry creatives is often of interest for our own wardrobe inspiration. Jane Fuge, Design Director for Nordstrom’s brand BP, is one of the said experts that’s filled with unique sartorial advice.

For reference, Fuge specifically works on the popular Nordstrom-made label BP, which has an expansive collection of trending pieces, including the BP Be Proud offering—the year-round gender-inclusive collection. Fuge shared with us why she’s so excited to work on this line every day: "The younger generation challenges us creatives to think in new and innovative ways to keep them engaged, they expect more from us than ever before. Trends are constantly changing and social media plays a huge part in this, what’s ‘in’ one week is out the next and that keeps it interesting,” she said. On that note, Fuge offered up the specific summer items (many of which can be found in the BP line) that she’s personally interested in and is excited to wear this season.
