We have just launched Spring at our online store. Spring weather landed in NYC this weekend and is still here this week (yeah!!). It’s finally time to shed the heavy dark clothes. Check out the fresh color and let me know what you think of our store.
There is a poetic explanation for each of the Atelier Fragrances that are launching at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus right now. My friend Sylvie Ganter has been working on the line for over 2 years after a career in the industry working for others. I love her inspirations, here is an example
. Spring is around the corner and it is a perfect time to try a new cologne.
There is alot of moto/military influence on the radar right now. I like the fierceness of this trend and wanted to find a way to bring it to our girl. Here is the solution: the “Diamond” cardi with oviod hem. I love the seaming, shoulder detail, and covered buttons. What do you think?
Thanks to my very plugged in friend Adam Aleksander, I got to blast off to the Glasslands Gallery to see the work of 6 designers for Williamsburg Fashion Weekend Wow, I was blown away by the work, staging, music, concepts, energy and atmosphere. It was dark,packed and crazy lively so my shots are hard to see. My favorites were The Flawk, Alisha Trimbull,and Desira Presta. Check out their work online. BTW that amazing white backdrop is a giant backlit cloud of sculpted paper flowers
Just putting the final touches on Fall samples for the Coterie Show this weekend. I am crazy about using chain as an embellishment on knits. It can’t be too heavy-handed for our girl! Super thin, soft silver chain on a cotton poncho and resin caramel-colored chain on a cozy crochet cardi-coat. Look how delicious the knit with the chain is. Can’t wait to show the buyers the new line (and get orders at booth #10128)!
Merchandising is in full swing around the office! We’re getting ready for the February Coterie show that starts this Sunday. If you’re a buyer or a stylist please be sure to visit us – Javits Center Hall 1A, Booth 10128.
Whew! February can be quite a busy month in spite of the chilly NYC weather. We’re getting deliveries in… shipping our first round of Spring 2010 styles out… reviewing the fabulous Fashion Week shows… prepping our new Fall 2010 line for Fashion Coterie starting this weekend… lots of exciting things happening!
As soon as our first delivery of Spring 2010 scarves and cover-ups landed we knew we had to get them online. These really encapsulate what Elizabeth Gillett is all about – fresh, feminine, fun styles that you want right now but will continue to love into the future. Check out our favorite tropical prints, sequin embellished styles and silky ruffle looks here: SHOP ONLINE at ELIZABETH GILLETT
This afternoon we had a fun group from the International Academy of Design. I had a chance to show the process of how we design and bring things to market. It was great because I also got some feedback from the students on some of the new Fall designs. Their knit design instructor, Young Kim, was enthusiastic and adorable. She inspected my first samples -not perfect -hmmm, maybe we could use a technical knit design intern from IADT …..
