Her all-inclusive work reflects a respect for clean, organic, architectural, and colorful pieces, to be incorporated in the lives of busy executives or Fashionistas. Dale’s pieces have been embraced by the worlds of fashion, art, film, and television and have sold at Ralph Lauren, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Moda Operandi, Serenella, Grayson De Vere, and others.
