She's a free spirit and it shows in her wearable creations. Maggie Coulombe's silky, diaphanous pareos and slinky dresses hang in the closets of bad girl debutante Paris Hilton and bad mommy Teri Hatcher. How a designer can concentrate in downtown Lahaina, amidst the revelry and the most insane views over the Blue Pacific to Lanai, is well beyond me. But Maggie manages to do just that. Her gypsy styles that echo Versace during his hippy phase, Her jewerly is powerful and clean. She makes lovely accesories and linens, too. Maggie even posts a video of her store on YouTube! Nuff said. Go shop!
