pastels are back
a short bridge of color
between the nude and the orange
it is spring already

des feuilles jaunes

such a sunny winter feels actually like fall
all the leaves on the floor this morning
inspired me
i was enjoying the riding pants for very long
i think i love the skirt as well !

de l'or sur ma peau

some sparkles are still flying in the air
the holidays are not done

2011 is almost gone, i wonder what is coming next ...

Trapeze Dress Give Away

I want your opinion on this dress !
We made a sample at our factory the other day and it has really caught on around the office.
It is one size with adjustable straps and feels glamorous and easygoing all at once.

American Apparel wants to hear what you think of the design. Post your thoughts here.
If we get enough positive feedback to make the dress, Mr.Chang, our expert patternmaker and sewer, will work with a small sewing team to hand-make a limited run at our Los Angeles factory.
Please "like", share and comment with feedback and suggestions. We will read everything and with enough thumbs up, will go full steam ahead and make it available on our web site in the first weeks of January! That's vertical integration at work.

Regardless of whether we end up making the dress or not, we have 5 beautiful samples that we will be giving away to people that participated in the process. On the morning of December 28, will select 5 people at random via the comments on our Coming Soon page. The dresses will be rush shipped to the winners to arrive in time for New Years Eve!

Let us know what you think, and thanks for being a part of our design process!

P.S.: You can see more photos of the dress on Taghrid's blog.

yesterday the new men in black 3 was recorded between our factories
in downtown LA
Raffi, I and some of our co-workers went for a little walk on the rooftop
sneaking around
eventually we saw Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith
that was so fun and weird
i guess it's how it feels to be a belgian girl lost in hollywood
