Fashion reality shows move into the Facebook realm and Fashionably Marketing has the story. As fashion becomes more accessible and possible to design and manufacture anywhere … small niche fashion industries are popping up in cites and towns everywhere. This is a dream for independent designers not located in or near NYC, the capitol in U.S. fashion. They no longer have to pack up and move to the city to live their dream. Kenmore recognized this and decided to have their reality fashion show take place in Chicago, shedding even more light on independent designers in the Chicago area. One of the contestants, Anna Hovet, is also a darling designer and we are so happy for her. She won the first design challenge that was more of a styling challenge to some. But not to Hovet, she rocked the design of the outfit she created without one stitch from her machine in sight. We love how sure she is in all of her answers. There is a lot to be learned by watching her. She answers with confidence that is never cocky. It is very clear she knows who she is and what her style is. Enjoy the first video below, and tune in on Thursdays for more. #VoteHovet!

We are happy to see that MicroRevolt has full participation to commemorate the victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911. We want to thank a darling gal up in Portland, Maine -Meagan Anderson- who knit an armband for the cause after she saw us shout it out on Facebook. We love it! Click through to the FIT website for a list of public events and panels happening for the commemoration: Triangle 100 Talks.
In February and March, 2011, join the United College Employees of FIT and FIT in commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the Triangle fire and discussing the problems that still have not been resolved. Five panel discussions, all free and open to the general public, will look back on various aspects of work in the last century, discuss what has improved and what has not, and offer hope for change in the next hundred years. (More at FIT…)

This weekend in Baltimore over 700 independent designers present their creations at the American Craft Council Show and Darling Emily Watson will be in the mix (booth 1003A). Go find her and say hello for us if you can! We’ll be sending her some caffeinated vibes as we know how tiring a weekend like this can be. I remember the air feeling thick with creativity when I worked this show (with Dina Varano). It felt as if a lightening bolt of inspiration could strike at any moment, zapping it’s way through the entire building — of course I loved that vibe…. Go see for yourself, full details here; either way take a digital stroll through Emily’s studio below and over on her Facebook fan page.
