Ana Lerario is the designer and owner of Lerario Beatriz – a beautifully feminine and delicate collection of printed tops, layered outerwear, and loose and flowing dresses and bottoms. Known for her intricate handmade details and embellishments, Lerario’s line is punctuated by fresh shapes and ethnic touches; it’s a staple wardrobe full of modern, sophisticated glamour for the city girl on the go.

Born and raised in Sao Paulo, Lerario attended fashion school in Brazil before moving to New York in 1998 to continue her fashion education at Parsons School of Design. That soon led to a job working with Marc Jacobs, where she was eventually appointed designer — a position she held for four years, working directly with Jacobs on his main line. Launched a few years ago, her namesake line (combining her last name and middle name) is quickly becoming a favorite among both elite fashion-watchers and the young, style-savvy masses.

We love both the vibrant spirit and the timeless look of Lerario’s designs and her clothes have been much buzzed-about among the Corduroy staff. (We have a feeling you’ll fall in love with them too).

We recently caught up with Lerario and asked her to take part in our exclusive online series about “Things That Never Go Out of Style.” Here is her top-ten list:

1. Dries van Noten
2. Sarah Moon
3. Velvet Underground
4. Tim Burton
5. House plants
6. Fresh cut flowers, espcially roses and peonies
7. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
8. Jock Sturges
9. Per Lutken glass work
10. Home cooked food from my childhood
