On the heels of New York’s fashion week, SEAM COLLECTIVE, an organization promoting women fashion designers, will host FENOMENON, an evening of edgy fashion, music, dance, art and more, featuring some of the industry’s most exciting emerging female designers.

The event will benefit WomenRising, a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting women at risk in Hudson County N. J., and will be held at CANCO lofts, the landmark condo conversion of Jersey City’s Art Deco American Can Co. factory building. Fifty percent of the net proceeds generated by FENOMENON will be donated to WomenRising. These fundraising efforts will help build current programs that assist women and their families achieve self sufficiency through economic development, social and advocacy services.

SEAM COLLECTIVE is the brainchild of five friends who are enmeshed in the fashion and entertainment industries. Formed in 2005, the organization’s main objective is to provide female designers with opportunities to advance in the industry by creating forums to showcase their talents. FENOMENON is the second fashion show SEAM COLLECTIVE has produced since its inception. In the spring of 2006, the organization hosted a fashion show in Soho, attracting over 350 attendees.

Smashing Darling is proud to be a sponsor of this years Seam Collective Fenomenon fashion show. To get your tickets click here. It is sure to be a fabulous evening so I hope we will see you there!

Welcome to # 20 – The Good News

by Mo on October 9, 2008

What’s Going On?

Back to school. Nose to the grindstone. Fall is here and in New England, the home of the Darlings, it is starting to cool off. Finally time to spend some time organizing inside, kiss your flip-flops goodbye for the winter, and pay some attention to your favorite layers and boots that have been hidden away…or hop online and buy anew! Consider Smashing Darling as your connection to boutiques across the country. Maybe a shopping trip to NYC, San Fran, and Chicago just isn’t in the cards for this Fall, but you can find designers from there right here with us. Go explore, and if you don’t have time to, don’t miss the Interviews and Editor’s Picks in the Smashing blog!

We want to send a big thank you to the crew over at SheFinds. Thanks to them one lucky gal just won a $500 shopping spree to spend here at Smashing Darling. I know we told you all about it, but did you get to check out all the great comments? Go check it out, and here are some of our favorites:
- Catalina K: “Thanks for letting us know that such a special website and store exist.”
- Tammy: “It took me an hour to decide! I love this site and will be back often!”
- Yulonda: “I would like to start by saying that I absolutely love your site and its versatility.”
Coming Soon
Maybe the Fashion Week buzz has died down, but we know the shows go on. Call up your best gals and come enjoy some runway fun this month:
- Next week My It Things narrows down the search for their It Designer, go vote here. The winning designer will be awarded $5,000 toward the production of their Spring 2009 line. If you are near NYC, grab some tickets and come watch the show with us!
- The following week we are happy to head to Jersey City in support of Seam Collective
and their next show, Fenomenon. Just $20 in advance for an extraordinary evening of fashion and music to benefit Women Rising, a non-profit organization that helps Hudson County women in need.
