Official start to Summer 2010

Happy Summer 2010,

It has been a while since we have posted on our blog. I plan on updating our blog at least once a week (that is between updating our facebook page, tweeter updates, online sites)...

I'm very proud with the release of our newest collections: Bloom and Lotus. Both groups will be made of 18 oz canvas and will include a total of (9) new silhouettes in the travel category and (2) new silhouettes in the loungewear category. Both designs are somewhat a departure from our previous aesthetics. We have spent about six months developing and fine tuning our fall collections and I find it very difficult to distance myself and be objective. People always ask me: What is your favorite design? My answer is always the same: It is like asking a parent which one of your children do you love the most? Stay tuned for additional details.


The summer of 2010 will be in my mind forever associated with the World Cup that is currently playing out in South Africa. The location of the WC is particularly significant given that 17 years ago Blacks in South Africa were not allowed to attend a soccer match in the national stadiums throughout South Africa. It also pleases me to see that US is finally catching WC fever as it has been almost impossible for me to find an empty table at my favorite pub to watch the game...this is certainly a change from 4 years ago. I know that most expect Brazil to be a finalist, but how "awesome" would it be if the US team made it to the final...US vs Brazil final?
