Trip to JAPAN

Tomorrow we're going to Japan for two weeks. I am very excited about this trip. Everything is going to be so different and interesting... There is also a Fashion Show in Tokyo at that time so I hope we can attend. In the meantime you can entertain yourselves with this TV segment that we shot for the Spanish Network Cuatro. It's a lit embarrasasing but I want to share it with you. Click HERE . See you all in February!

MAC event

During this week the cosmetic brand M.A.C. held a training convention for 200 head make up artists at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Sweet Charity was invited to set up a store in one of the salons. During their leisure time, the make up artists could come and do some shopping at the "store". I thought it was a great PR activity. I was there to help Hilary and I was happy to see the great response to the ties and bracelets.

S/S '06 inspiration BOARD

I'm working on the next collection. I think it's the best part but the toughest one too. I am finding really hard to get the right materials. It's a catch-22 situation. Big vendor companies, that offer the best fabrics and prices, don't want to work with small designers. I How can I get big if I can not get the right materials at the right price? The want you to order 60-100 yards minimum. It hurts! How can I meet that with my ties? I'm saying it loud: There should be more companies willing to work with small designers. We are the future, aren't we?
