FLD's first press, first glimpse of A.W.11.12, and FGI news is HERE!

So, with the dust settling on the tarmack at DTW and FLD back at its headquarters in Detroit. The Lovely Ris Tena (@rismoney), aka www.risism.com,  was kind and savvy enough to announce our ventures this past week at Pool Tradeshow (@pooltradeshow) inside Magic International Las Vegas (@WWDMAGIC) inside Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Check the deetz, via her MOTOWN COUTURE BLOG for Real Detroit Weekly (@real_detroit).  The entire article is available here. <3 you girl, and I promise to keep the Eco-Fashion news coming out of Metro Detroit!




Now onto the next, most inmportant order of business....

I am thrilled to share some of the latest images from my new collection. My lovely fashion gal pals all teamed up to shoot this lookbook series, (all names and links posted below photos), and I couldn't be happier.

This photo wouldn't be as fabulous as it is, if the background "NEST" by Patrick Thompson Design (@patrickthompson) who is the creator of this beautiful piece of structural art, built this as a gift to the former FC establishment, over a year ago. It is the most precious setting to highlight natural fibers, as both are weaved so seamlessly.

Here is just a taste of what's in for the next season!! Get your neck lines ready folks! Its going to be a fabulous eco-chic ride!!
