Around the Site
Hey there Darlings…are you ready to start closing the door on Summer and showing us what you’ve got for Fall? We have seen a few previews surfing around in social media networks and can’t wait to see it all up for sale on Smashing Darling!

Also premiering that night is the film DRESSED, documenting

Emerging Fashion Everywhere
It is so great to see communities across the country supporting independent fashion designers. Check out a few of the areas hosting their own Fashion Week not long after NYC, and some are still recruiting designers:
Brooklyn -that’s right, they do their own thing! Philadelphia: Including Darling Brooklyn Royalty. Phoenix: $10,000 Emerging Designer Contest. St. Louis: Call for Artists! Portland: Emphasis on eco-fashion.
