The System Is Working: Made In the U.S.A

by Mo on September 12, 2011

We came across a new Tumblr last week: Fuck Yeah Made in USA. We are thankful A Continuous Lean is taking the time and effort to share with us the fact that American-made fashion, though scarce, still exists. Call us crazy (we don’t mind!), but we believe that fashion businesses can be created and sustained right in your own community. Yes, we know there is a whole fashion system out there doing it’s own thing, with it’s own rules. But when places like Frock, a.k.a Darling Headquarters, can thrive … well it proves to us that the local system is working. Have a moment with us in this video tour of of our own happy, home factory and see how Mergirl and Whosiepie are defying odds in Chester, CT.

N.E.E.T.

If you haven’t taken a peak at the latest issue, please do, especially if you would like to see what’s happening with independent fashion designers. The issue is chock full-o- indie designers from all over. Enjoy the features, Recycle Darling and Green Peace, it’s all about making and keeping it stylish and sustainable. Now mind you, be patient. The issue does take all of 15 seconds to load but we all know in this digital age we have been taught to wait for no page. Please do though, I highly recommend it. I also think the issue is best enjoyed with your favorite beverage in a moment when you have time to savor every single bit of it. Think of it as your indulgence for the day. Leave me a comment about your favorite part of the magazine and I will give one lucky commenter a $20 Gift Certificate to shop Smashing Darling. The day just gets better every single second. Enjoy!
