Tonight’s Event, Social Media For Social Change

by trish on April 3, 2009

We will be attending the Social Media for Social Change event tonight in NYC at the Roger Smith Hotel. We wanted to take the opportunity to thank the designers that donated an item for the Smashing Darling Gift Bag that will be in the silent auction tonight. Money raised in tonight’s event will go to City Harvest, an organization helping to feed the homeless. It is so fun to be a part of a community that wants to get involved. From what Modarling tells me, every item that was sent in for the auction is gorgeous.

Many, many, many thanks to our designers who have donated with us.

All around the town – indie everywhere

by trish on February 17, 2009

We consider ourselves lucky to be attending so many fashion events happening all around New York during this fashion week. Last Thursday Modarling spent an inspired evening at Laura Dawson’s fashion show. Click here to watch the video of her fabulous show.

The next day we found ourselves at the Bryant Park Hotel penthouse for Expose and to see Karelle Levy (Krelwear) doing KREL 2 GO. She knits up beautiful knits in her Miami studio, packs them up and takes them on the road with her – then drapes right on customers while her assistant sews them on the spot. Waiting for Modarling’s piece to be done was the perfect time to check out the other designers taking part in the show.

We were also happy to make it to the Rebecca Turbow Safe show down on Bond Street. Her clothing is fresh and modern. Large fabric bauble necklaces, large collars and ruffle neck pieces stood out against the short silhouettes. Her collection breathing an air of understatement with an all gray and black color palette.

Next stop was the Dress Up event hosted by Jennine Tam, of The Coveted and The IFB Network (Independent Fashion Bloggers). It was so nice to meet and put faces to names with lots of the IFB members.

Next stop Digital Moda, an event to bring fashion designers, bloggers and people from the tech world all together in one place to help move fashion forward in the Web 2.0 world. Five darling designers and their models will be in attendance with us, and in our book – this is fabulous.
