What it is all about - Aspen

Jackson Hole husky

I worked with a wonderful shop owner in Aspen yesterday and while we were planning her fall order, I was thinking about when I lived in Aspen and the snow, skiing, hot chocolate and warm sled dogs.  Zema will have these hand drawn huskies in November.  She is carrying them in our cozy long sleeve white crews.  They are gorgeous, see them in person! 

Visit or call Zema (she is wonderful)

Labor Day - American Dreams!

American Dreams tank

 off shoulder

        Dream Catchers are one of the most fascinating traditions of Native Americans. The traditional dream catcher was intended to protect the sleeping individual from negative dreams, while letting positive dreams through. The positive dreams would slip through the hole in the center of the dream catcher, and glide down the feathers to the sleeping person below. The negative dreams would get caught up in the web, and expire when the first rays of the sun struck them. This one is hand drawn with amazing detail.

Butterflies

Butterflies  NEW for Spring Summer 2012  

• The color in a butterfly's wings does not come from pigment. The color is produced prism-like by light reflected by their transparent wing scales.

• A butterfly's taste sensors are located below their feet.

• The largest butterfly is the Queen Alexandra's birdwing butterfly from Papua New Guinea. The wingspan of the butterfly can reach to be almost one foot.

• A butterfly has to have a body temperature greater than 86 degrees to be able to fly.

Enough reasons to love a butterfly?  These were hand drawn and hand painting adds to their reflective wings.  

giraffes, stars and a seal

Hand Drawn Giraffe @ Hapa Collective 

I first met Janet Peters, the Proprietress of  Hapa Collective, as she walked into my showroom in LA.  She had spotted the Giraffe and I could see she had an eye for creative and handmade clothing.  Janet chose well and many of her picks sold out first day, to both of our delight.  She has a few left, so stop in or call Janet @  562-296-8578.

In 1930, when Marlene Dietrich wore slacks in the movie "Morocco", women across the world lined up to purchase them. Since stores weren't catering to women wearing slacks many of these women lined up in the men's department.

Warhol Day 1 - Bleu Temple

Warhol for the Day -


The original shopaholic, Warhol shopping daily and hoarded a collection of biscuit jars, Native American folk art, taxidermy specimens (including Cecil the Great Dane and an African lion), jewelery, half-used perfume bottles, autographed photographs of movie stars, World Fair souvenirs, cowboy boots, Art Deco furniture, dental molds and his trademark white wigs.
He had great difficulty ridding himself of objects. At the time of his death in 1987, only two rooms of his five story house in New York’s Upper East Side were habitable, the rest was filled with multiple items. Warhol believed that department stores are just another form of museums.
