Duds!










These are a few garments I've come across this month. I was drawn to the color's and texture's that many offered. The Pink/Orange/Navy dress was a stunner! Although, the wicker form didn't do it justice & neither did my camera phone for that matter!

Hunting for Tropical Prints




I've spent the past few weeks searching for 1940-1950's Hawaiian clothing. And let me just say, this is a tall order!! It's specifically challenging to locate garments made in the 40's. A man's shirt from the 40's can easily range in price from $400-$1,000! And there are some seriously dedicated collectors out there that seem to be building a collection of there own. These are some from the garments from the 50's that I've seen this week.

Trade show (take two!)




This is our booth at Premiere Vision/Direction by Indigo show! It was a two day show(three if you include a day of setting up.) We owe a huge 'THANK YOU' to Jeromy for making a ton of hangers for us. They're pretty slick!
While this show was a tad quiet, we were fortunate we didn't get multiple feet of snow as was predicted. We had a great time getting acquainted with design house's and designer's. We were able to catch up with a few friends who paid the show a visit! And all you WWD subscriber's keep a look out for a mention/pic of Quince to Marmalade!
