In an effort to elevate the importance of individuality in our fashion culture, I pursue my passion for design and creation. …Every man and woman should be able to look, and especially “FEEL” their best. This is what I aim to achieve with every design I create. (Continue reading…)

If it’s hard to generalize about what’s selling, what can sellers of craft bank on? For one thing, the need for a carefully crafted, dynamic online presence – be it a shop, website, Twitter account, or Facebook page. Whether sellers are actually selling online, they need to be marketing online.

Are you getting ready for an insane schedule of NYC Fashion Week events? Or maybe you live in NYC and have no idea Fashion Week is about to hit? Either way, rest your feet and refill your style inspiration via the big screen. Fashion and film collide at the Museum of Arts and Design, starting this Friday.
A weekend of screenings, panel discussions, and receptions will bring together designers, filmmakers, and cinema lovers with an avid curiosity about how film and fashion intersect and inspire each other.
Fashion In Film
This Fashion Week, MAD partners with Vanity Fair and the Film Society to celebrate fashion, design, and style on the silver screen. Co-curated by Simon Doonan, creative ambassador-at-large for Barneys New York, “Fashion in Film” showcases a series of innovative cinematic moments that have expectedly and unexpectedly influenced the worlds of style and fashion.

On Saturday afternoon we are going to close our eyes and daydream about spending the afternoon inspired at Green Gala 2011 out in Berkeley, CA. Saturday’s event will benefit the UC Botanical Garden and features talented sustainable fashion designers who have used the garden as inspiration. Enjoy some images below of their process, and join us in sending out some kudos to partner and curator Sasha Duerr of the Permacouture Institute. Enjoy the show west coast darlings!
Regenerative design nurtures awareness, accountability and responsibility in our approach to clothing through the use of plant-based dyes and fibers, and reclaimed textiles. Read on at Permacouture…

As the slow cloth/fashion movement grows alongside the development of even higher-tech fabrics, textiles will become even more enmeshed in our daily lives. Read more…
We stumbled upon this post from Sarah Scaturro in response to a video interview (below) where trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort entertains the notion of textile extinction. Can you even imagine a world without textiles? If you can, please…stop. We may have a itty-bitty darling tantrum, and you don’t want to see that. (Please don’t make TrishDarling cry…) We just can’t believe that textiles are going extinct; we have to believe textiles are in a state of transformation, a re-birth if you will. We hope you will *believe right along with us. For magical inspiration, let’s go full circle back to the initiative curated by Lidewij Edelkoort: Talking Textiles. If you are in NYC, don’t miss the Knoll Textiles at Bard Graduate Center.
Some Darling textile love, just because….

More darlings coming together to help designers…that always makes our hearts sing! There isn’t a website to link to yet, but we’ll let you know when there is. Guilded brought to you by STUDY NY and Bahar Shapar.
GUILDED is almost ready to launch with our series of classes and training in sustainable design and methods, workshops and master classes in artisan techniques and a platform for collaborative community. In the meantime, though, we’d like to celebrate the month of April (Earth Month) with a whole bunch of exciting events. (Email for more info: guildedstate@gmail.com)
Fabric & Trim Sale
Saturday, April 9 and Sunday, April 10
Do you have extra fabric, notions, trims or accessories that you know you’ll never use just taking up space in your studio/home? If so, it’s time to get rid of it all. Purge, purge, purge! We’re going to do a major marketing push in the design schools (Pratt, Parsons, FIT, SVA) to offer students low-priced fabrics for their final projects and other designers new fabrics to use. This event is a way to dispose of excess without contributing to the waste stream, and a way to share sustainable and vintage fabrics with students and young designers. As with the sample sale we will offer master checkout, staffing and bags. However, since we imagine everyone has different quantities of stock, the fee will be 20% of sales instead of the flat rate we charge for sample sales.
Also for NY darlings: Artist & Fleas wants to help too, learn about In Good Company and BizLabs for mini-classes to help with some challenges you may face growing your business.
