"   Photo: Donato Sardella via WWD  When Juicy Couture&amp;#039;s co-founders, Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor, left Liz Claiborne following the company&amp;#039;s acquisition of their iconic brand, they signed an 18 month non-compete clause. So the duo, who&amp;#039;ve been friends for almost 25 years, have spent the last year and a half working on their next chapter: Skaist-Taylor. The contemporary brand will launch at New York Fashion Week in February, during a presentation produced by the same man who built the Met&amp;#039;s Anglomania exhibition. Not surprisingly, the collection will be based on what they like to wear, &amp;quot;We are California-eccentric. The line is autobiographical. It&amp;#039;s kind of what we&amp;#039;re into right now,&amp;quot; Taylor told WWD. That means everything from jeans and tees to super lux outerwear for up to $3,000. Though they say it&amp;#039;s not quite work appropriate, the colorful collection will work if you&amp;#039;re in a &amp;quot;funky&amp;quot; office environment and will in fact offer things like &amp;quot;the perfect jacket.&amp;quot; Taylor says they&amp;#039;re going to &amp;quot;blaze a trail.&amp;quot; Can&amp;#039;t wait to see!
