What’s Going On
We have been darlings on-the-go! TrishDarling has had her fingers to the sewing machine every moment not with Smashing Darling prepping for a Frock fashion show – pictures coming soon! Miss MoDarling took a quick jaunt to the lovely United Kingdom. Whether starting or stopping it all equals inspiration. Where do you find your inspiration? We have plenty here right on these pages, new updates, and new designers everyday. Click on a Designer Profile in any boutique and get to know us better, you’ll be glad you did.


Darling Designer Spotlight
Speaking of getting to know us better… Do you know we love to interview our designers in the Darling blog? If you have a favorite darling please let us know! (comment or email: mo@smashingdarling.com) It is important to us that you get to hear their stories and learn what life is like as an independent designer. We hope that the more you get to know this smashing community, the more you will want to support them. Knowing the maker of the clothes you wear is such j-o-y, and we want you to feel it! So what’s it gonna be, Factory or Frock?
