Boutique (322)
Last month we announced that Fesjon is going to sell the amazing handbag collection of Heidi Mottram in the Boutique. We are the only selling point in the Netherlands. The bags are made of eel skin, eel skin is far more solid than cow hide and it don't leave any marks if it rains. And that is just the thing you need a wear- and weather resistant handbag that also looks amazing. With the upcoming holiday it's a welcome gift for underneath the Christmas tree...
Kau London is barely 8 weeks old and is already a popular item in Japan, Australia, London and America. British celebs like Alesha Dixon, Pearl Lowe, Bay Garnett, Zara Martin and Melanie Slade (to name a few) are already in love with Kau boots. It's a matter of time before the first American celebs will be spotted with Kau.Because Kau London has sold to people all over the globe we have a little celebration for all our Kau fans... In the month November (untill November 30) we are giving 10% disc
I'm really not an "event" person. So it was out of my comfort zone to organize 12 mini-models, with male relatives as their escorts, for the fashion show in our area last weekend.But I have to admit it was kind of fun, when it actually happened. The little girls were thrilled have their moment in the limelight, and I guess I was too!
It was even fun for my two boys, who can't model for Pixyworld, but enjoyed attending their first runway show. They got to come backstage, and were proud of their de
And, as with any big money-maker, the Princess movement has many enemies. Bloggers cite racism, traditional gender roles, and unrealistic expectations as some of their reasons for hating Disney Princesses.
Interestingly, I recently heard a different spin on the Princess Phenomenon. In a thoughtful se
In launching Pixyworld, we just couldn't do it. Why not do a real production run right off the bat, with reasonable production costs, and sell direct to the retail customer, at a reasonable retail price?
Well, this approach turned out not to be the whole solut
I have two tiny divas of my own, so I knew the Accessorize Me! collection would have to be part of my toddler girls' line.I knew it the day my 2-year-old sached into the kitchen where my husband had just arrived from work, struck a pose, and waited for him to compliment her new shoes.
I knew it when my 4-year-old became fascinated with filing her nails and having them painted.
I knew it when, a year before that when she was still perfecting the finer points of speech, she asked me for a cotton bal
But in practice, I just don't think we're ready for mfg.com. When I submitted spec sheets for Pixyworld's dresses & shorts last summer, the response I got was somewhat puzzling.
Of all the hundreds of suppliers (domestic and overseas) they had listed, th
How could I have understood, before giving birth to a Princess, the humor of The Princess and the Pea?It can get to you, if you lose your sense of humor about it. Some little girls are simply born with an acute sensitivity to anything -- ANYTHING -- that rubs them the wrong way.
I suppose I was this way myself as a girl; perhaps that is why I find myself designing little girls' clothing.
My little princess had issues with jeans. She simply would not wear them. Denim was just not soft enough to be
The problem is, highly ranked sites don't want to swap with lowly 1's and 2's. So we have to settle for linkbacks from other 1's and 2's. Hopefully, some of them will someday succeed in becoming 3's and 4's, and their links will becom
I know I started out feeling extremely under-qualified. With no current connections in the industry and no fashion education, where was I to start?
At that time I failed to recognize the strengths I had inherited from my family. Both of my parents are entrepreneurs, who can never be happy in an ordinary job. They are alway
This has several interesting results. Firstly, in dressing themselves they reach new and interesting heights of clash. Secondly, it seems that more than 50% of their clothing is on backwards at any given time. Finally, they gravitate towards wearing certain items as often as possible, while leaving others (the ones we like best) lying forlornly in the dra
The ability to put images on clothing has opened up new vistas of fun and personal expression, both for adults and children. Printed fabrics and printed tee-shirts are so ubiquitous now that we take them for granted. But my favorites, especially for children's clothing, are embroidery and applique -- two methods that give an image a special texture and style that really makes it pop.
Embroidery Library has great examples of both. With embroidery, there is the possibility for almost limitless deta
My favorite fashion & style book has to be Does This Make Me Look Fat? by Leah Feldon. The title is perhaps somewhat misleading, in that it is not a strictly thinness-oriented book. It gives some very helpful tips on looking chic and having an artistically well-proportioned ensemble.This, more than any other style handbook, has helped me in designing toddler girls' clothing. For a toddler, looking "fat" is not the issue. The shape and proportions of a toddler's body are so unlike an adult woman'
