The Philly-born designer spent a decade directing the fit department at Anthropologie, but she still decided to devote two years to HOT figuring out just what makes an utterly flattering pair of pants. The result of her research is Cabe, a sophisticated new line of dresses and separates, including more than 10 impeccably tailored styles of pants (none of which will induce the dreaded “diaper butt”). Named in honor of the tailor grandmother who taught Rego how to sew, the line boasts clean cuts, instant-classic appeal, and a reasonable price point, with pieces ranging from $98 to $320.

Will his living lover learn what he has happening on the side? Find out at the Davis Square Theatre (255 Elm Street, Somerville), where the first installment is playing now through April 7.
