What’s Going On
Change. A new year, a fresh start.
Change for Trishdarling, our parade leader, comes big. Did you know that Trishdarling is also Mergirl? Read here, and now you do. Closed are the doors to her Chester, CT boutique, and into a new studio she goes…soon we will all be drooling over new collections in her darling boutique. News stumbles in of many an indie designer closing their physical location and relying on word of mouth and their online presence only. This is why it is so important to talk to us and be a fan whether it is on your very own street corner, Facebook, Twitter, or wherever you like to gab the most!

What’s Going On
While the fashion world in NYC feasts their eyes on Spring ‘09 delights, the Darlings have our feet planted in the here and now (okay, maybe one foot). September evenings will start to bring a lovely chill to your shoulders, and as it does fall fashion begins to land on the pages of the Darling world; take a look around. As for our Darling peek at Spring ‘09,we have been out and about supporting designers who aren’t in the tents – yet. Check out the pics from last week at GenArt’s Fresh Faces in Fashion and while you are at it, a short video of darling Brooklyn Royalty’s spring line.

What’s New
Inside the Tents is new to Fashion Week here in NYC, and it is the place to get up to the minute updates and video of what is coming down the runway for Spring. The Darlings and many others have been contributing; read more about it in the blog.
We like to make new friends: If you haven’t been to Grechen’s Closet yet, step to it! Grechen has declared Wednesday Independant’s Day, and is featuring Darling designers for the month of September…we think she is smashing!

Coming Soon
All this type of spring and fashion shows makes us want to drop a hint…Stay tuned, it looks like the Darlings will be hosting a fashion show of our very own in early 2009.
