When you can count Charlotte Ronson, Mark Ronson, and Samantha Ronson as your siblings, it automatically makes you a very stylish spawn—even if you’re the youngest member of the family. This is certainly true for Annabelle Dexter-Jones, though she has had no trouble quietly making a name for herself thanks to her role as a model/muse for her sister Charlotte Ronson’s clothing line, the face of both Hogan and Louis Vuitton campaigns, and now as a designer for edgy rocker chic French label Faith Connexion, for whom she has designed a capsule collection which will debut during New York and Paris Fashion Weeks this fall. “For a long time now I’ve always wanted to do something with design or clothing even though the focus has always been on my acting,” says Dexter-Jones, who went back and forth between New York and Paris for six months as she worked on the collection. The result is a charming collection of cropped fisherman’s sweaters, flouncy skirts, lace blouses, and embroidered sweatshirts that aren’t unlike Dexter-Jones’s own classic, yet vintage-inspired style. “I thought of it like a mini-wardrobe,” she says. “I wanted to design pieces that wouldn’t go out of style.” She even collaborated with her boyfriend and nightclub owner André Saraiva, originally a graffiti artist, on a graphic lining. “It was all about putting my own unique stamp on everything. Style—it’s in the details,” she says. —Nandita Khanna
