OUR FRIENDS AT LADY LUX HAVE A STORY TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU!!

We were graciously allowed the opportunity to meet some of the fabulous ladies of Lady Lux Online, at Pool Tradeshow, this past February.  They are definitely some of those amazing people we were able to meet and speak with in our time at the first industry event for Fotoula Lambros Design.    


The call from Katherine came in on a Thursday afternoon, immediately after I picked up my rental car in Los Angeles.  I remember, driving down Sunset, and immediately pulling over in front of some mansion in Beverly Hills, since I knew this was a call not to miss.  She was very kind, as she introduced herself, and very professional as she made it clear the convo was to be recorded to ensure all deetz were fact and accurate as possible. The questions were great! Each leading into the other seamlessly, and very straight forward. I recall the palm tree inspiration comment being something I i viewed from that road, that sunshine filled day.   I remember sitting there in my Hemp PET twill trench coat, salt and pepper colored cotton knitted yarn tee, and my organic cotton spandex denim.  If felt really great to be able to make that remark as to one of her questions regarding my personal style. The interview was about a half hour, and I was thrilled to have been recognized by such a wonderful site, and to be given the opportunity to share my story, 


I absolutely respect and admire those detail oriented journalists, that put a guarantee on their work!!  Even without a verbal guarantee, visually, their site says enough.  It is so chic and profiles so many stylish, edgy, GREEN products and the story behind those products. I am grateful to have had that moment, that memory, of my very first article given on the West Coast. 






This article, which was so lovely written and posted by KatherineSweet, is a wonderful literary ideal of what I feel is FLD, and how FLD is moving forward here in 2011.   Please feel free to check out their site, and indulge in the most fabulous lifestyle features, your eyes have yet to see.  For the full FLD article and all things fabulous, CLICK HERE.

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!!
