What’s Going On
Maybe Fall fashion is hitting NYC this week, but the rest of us are ready to shop for, and welcome, Spring! The hopeful colors of spring are popping up all around Smashing Darling as designers load up their boutiques with new inspiration. Mainstream fashion may be planning for 2010, but around these darling pages you can find one-of-a-kind clothing and accessories hot off the pattern table last week. We think that rocks. We hope you do too. Online or off, we think this Wall Street Journal article states it best:
…The clothes are exclusive, and the designers often offer alterations and special orders — as well as the pleasure of personal interaction with them.

What’s New
You heard it first here! First ever crowd-sourced fashion collection to be sold exclusively through Smashing Darling. We have Smashed Up with My It Things, a leading publisher of user-generated fashion content, to bring you the exclusive Pre-Sale of the ‘It Designer’ contest winner Wakana Koike’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection.
Read full story here.
Go check it out and be among the first to order these playful, yet sophisticated limited edition pieces for Spring/Summer 09. All fabrics were custom made by the Japanese ink-jet factory, Seiren, and were inspired by themes of ocean and sailing.

Coming Soon
Coming as soon as, oh -tomorrow!- New York Fashion week craziness! The darlings will be contributing from the outskirts making sure that the indie fashion scene is well, um…seen, and the voice heard. Fashion week now extends well beyond the tents especially for indie/emerging designers, and we will be there blogging, tweeting, and facebooking as much as we possibly can. Stay tuned to the Smashing Blog as well as Inside the Tents.
The Darlings end that run with a little ‘ole birthday, that’s right – ours! In our honor pop open a little pink bubbly, if you like, on the 20th of February when we officially become toddlers – we are TWO!
