Darling Fashion Around the City
Uptown. Downtown. Brooklyn. From luxury pieces to ethical bits – we have been popping around oohing over Darling (and others like Bodkin, image right) Spring Collections. The Green Shows were especially inspiring, featuring a selection of eco-conscious fashion designers including Darling Lara Miller. We cannot wait to see her beautiful Spring line up on Smashing Darling. Bob Bland rocked her show at her very own venue The Arsenal, check out this Village Voice slideshow – sweet! We were thrilled to watch Minna K present at Nolcha, as well as meet some wonderful accessory designers in the Accessory Lounge…more recaps in the blog, coming soon.

Brand Yourself Darlings!
This past Monday eve we got to see some of our favorite people-and meet some new faces- at the second IFB Dress Up Soiree, hosted by sweet Jennine from The Coveted. It was a packed house, and a great panel discussing the future of online fashion media. Stay tuned to the IFB blog and catch recaps.
We are so inspired by all the amazing bloggers out there able to use their voice to promote their own personal brand. Take some time to read this post by Crosby of PR Couture. Info about branding, how important good photos are, prioritizing as a small label and loads more. A must read.

Passion, Process: Blog Away
Darlings, are you out there blogging about your brand, your inspiration, and the passion that keeps you going through the wonderful insanity that is life as an independent designer? We hope so. If you have a blog and we don’t know about it, or a favorite indie designer’s blog that you read, please let us know so we can link to it from the Smashing Blog. We want people to know all that you do to keep your designs out there. Read this Grechen’s Closet post/comments about supporting independent designers and see all those out there supporting your world.
