Maybe it’s the summer heat’s getting to us, but we really like the idea of adding some mystery to our apartment walls. So when A Slip of a Girl featured anonymously drawn girdle sketches from the 1940s, well, we joined the secret artist’s not-so-secret fan club. Turns out that the same sketcher has

As we as adults are becoming more fashion conscious, it would also seem that our children are beginning to become more fashion conscious too. They are also wanting the latest designer fashions. Again, this is not surprising as our own behaviour reflects on our children. This is exactly why certain stores have opened online to help you and your children to pick out the best kids designer clothes for them.

You may be wondering as to what big brand designers actually make clothes, as well. Luckily,

It’s not exactly a glowing review of Madge and Lola’s line for Macy’s, but the style arbitersain’t throwing rotten cabbage at her either: “If you don’t think too much about it, the printed crop top, high-waisted pants, and—hell—even that weird paneled Western shirt are cute enough for your monthlywardrobe rotation.” Is that an endorsement? A warning? Both? [Refinery29]

Left to right: Designer Stacy Igel, a look from Boy Meets Girl's Fall 2010 collection



“I love putting my friends and colleagues together, for business or pleasure,” says Stacy Igel. “I’ve been building strong, honest mutually-beneficial relationships in fashion for years now,” she continues, “slowly gaining credibility and access. That’s the only way.”


Take it from Igel, she’s one who’s made these practices work to perfection. Over the last 15 years, she’s gone from student to designer, to the own

Choosing Lingerie in the Best Way Possible

Being a big fan of lingerie as a women is a strange almost incredible place to be in. When it comes to making the right choice for whatever purpose it may be for! The choice is completely endless and its probably fair to say that making the correct choice in which lingerie you wear on a day to day basis can quite frankly make a huge amount of different to how you act, look and indeed feel!

If I were a Boy...

Sinful son of the Upper East Side, I'd enjoy the occasional Scotch on rock, with a dose of naughty poker sessions, evil plotting and puppet master mannerisms...-I'd be the epitome of class, the one with a whole lot of self assurance and charisma, a noticeable style, always dressed to kill!!!I wouldn't be a hero to all, but let's face it, my life wouldn't be ruled by some weak popularity contest either.Shocking to some with my propos, I'd be loved my Mothers and probably not so much by Fathers a

Dressed 2009: Pixyworld on the Runway

DressedAlida.jpgI'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!

DressedBackstage.jpgIt 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

MFG.com: The Fashion World Is Not Ready

It sounds like such a great idea, doesn't it? Sourcing made simple via the internet. A site that connects designers and manufacturers using spec sheets and a formal bidding process. No more phone calls, faxes, or sending samples just to get a bid.

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

Flattering Lines for Little Girls

41GWRPZ1CVL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU01_.jpgMy 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'

Hiring a Sales Rep: A Big Decision

So, Pixyworld is taking the plunge. In a certain way it feels like we're signing away our freedom. But, all things considered, I think signing on with Lace and Denim for the Southeast US region is the best next step for us in building our line.

When we first considered a different showroom in 2008, we were scared off big-time. In fact, it was that experience that inspired us to start selling to the retail customer through our own website! It was my husband Jon who spoke with the first showroom, a

Are We Tired of Pink?

Accessorize Me! Set: Tee, Jeans, ShrugNot too long ago, we were hearing from the fashion world that Pink Is the New Black. But the faddish popularity of the color seems to be fading. The best-selling collection in my toddler girls' boutique line this season has been Flower Power, my only collection without even a hint of pink.

Maybe we are sick of pink because, in this economy, Pink Slips are the New Black! Maybe moms shopping little girls' boutiques are looking for something very unique, and they feel that pink for little girls is t

Toddler Hair Accessories: What's Out There?

140047921?$240x305$Gymboree (hairpiece pictured) is clearly a leader in mass-produced hair accessories for little girls. There are also many clever moms producing unique custom hair pieces, selling on etsy or eBay. So, is there room for more?

Gymboree seems to have two advantages, besides the obvious cost benefit of mass-production. One is one-stop shopping. Moms shopping online will choose a hairpiece from the same site as the clothing they are buying, if possible, to save on shipping.

Their other advantage is outf

Flower Power Colors

model742_3.jpgWhen I did my first manufacturing run for Pixyworld last year, I tried to choose colors that would appeal not just to me personally, but to a wide range of customer tastes.

For example, I had learned, through selling custom outfits on eBay, that in toddler girls' clothes, pink just sells. As an Autumn, I can't wear pink at all, so it's not a color I naturally gravitate to. (Though it looks gorgeous on my little Summery 4-year-old!)

At any rate, I had to let myself go on just one collection. For F
