As you know, Modarling and I had the pleasure of attending the grand opening of Nolcha’s new retail space they share with Shane & Shawn. It is a great space down on Mulberry St in Nolita, NYC. The designers that Nolcha chose for the black brick space are a nice compliment to the shoes Shane & Shawn design. We met up with emerging designer Bob Bland of Brooklyn Royalty and stylist Seth Friedermann. He has some great tips in his blog for emerging & independent designers, I highly recommend a peek at it. The eve ended with dinner at Cafe Habana and lots of laughs with Bob. She is a wealth of knowledge for indie designers and is always working on great projects. You can keep track of her by reading her blog.

Anyway…I wanted to be the first to give you the skinny on another project Nolcha has up it’s sleeve. They are starting an international emerging fashion directory the details are below with the person to contact.

Emerging and Independent Designers need to have a roof over their heads.  In this age of virtual everything, a virtual roof will do.  To give industry insiders a place to go when looking for “the next big thing” media outlets are able to help both the press and the designer in one fell swoop.
