Welcome 2010 : The Future Is Now

Laurel and I have been asked to participate in a contest that the Biography Channel in Germany is running to promote the new season of one of our favorite shows Project Runway. One winner and a friend will be flown to New York via Air Berlin, be put up in a fancy hotel and will have the opportunity during their five day stay here in the city to meet with none other than I Love Factory and We Came In Peace at our headquarters on the Lower East Side.

Good luck to all who enter! We are SO excited to meet the lucky winner!

Happy New Year!

8 Long Nights

This is the first music video for "My Menorah" off Chevonne's debut Holiday EP "Unwrap Me." The video was directed by We Came In Peace and styled by yours truly.

Chevonne is wearing the I Love Factory Baby Doll Bow in the recording studio scene, check it out. It's the perfect piece for all those FAB holiday parties that are filling up your December calender.

Holiday Cheer

Laurel and I recently had an amazing opportunity to work with the one and only Chevonne. Chevonne's anticipated holiday EP titled "Unwrap Me" drops today on iTunes (and all other online music outlets) and we are super excited to get our copy. All four tracks will keep you dancing way past the ball drop and on into 2010. This girl knows how to belt out the lyrics and keep us shaking our hips.

Congratulations Chevonne! We love you!

All Along The Assembly Line

DailyCandy is right on we really do operate like a four handed assembly line. Whoa.

Hand - sewn with heart. You know how we do.

Life In The ATX

It is our first day back in New York City after a relaxing five days spent in Austin, Texas. So much space and green with such a big sky above. We had so much fun getting to see old friends, meeting new, eating tons of good food and going with the flow.

Spending time with our friends Danny and Mary Ellen and our super cool goddaughter Ryder Blue. Checking out the vintage finds at Feathers and Prototype. Enjoying FAB lunches with Pam at the Four Seasons and of course drinking 24 Lone Stars with our awesome host Hunter.

We even had time for a fun photo shoot with Dawn of Boudoir Queen at her beautiful estate on Saturday with some of the most FABULOUS vintage clothing we have ever laid eyes on.

Saturday November 7th we participated in a Fashion Leak sponsored event at Buy Definition along with Boudoir Queen and John Renaud. Thank you to everyone at Fashion Leak and Buy Definition for inviting us to be part of such a fantastic event!

Happy to be home and missing Austin bad.

For Halloween we decided to do it up proper factory style and play dead celebrity dress up as two of our favorite people Andy and Edie. We followed along as accomplices to the one and only diamond thief extraordinaire, Kim Swift. After four parties and lots of street action we headed to one last place and bumped into our good friend Mr. Nicky Digital. Thank you to Nicky for the pictures!

It was such a good night and we saw so many amazing costumes! Besides Perez Hilton as Lady Gaga our favorties were Rachel Zoe and her styling team and Cameron Diaz in Something About Mary.

So excited for this time next week we will be in AUSome (thanks Alyssa) Austin, Texas. We have been asked by our good friends at Fashion Leak to be part of a sponsored event next Saturday November 7th held at Buy Definition on S. Congress Street. We will be hosting the event with two extremely talented designers, Boudoir Queen and John Renaud (who designed that GORG dress in the picture above.) We are designing a few exclusive pieces that will be sold only at the event from 1 to 4 PM. So if you're in Austin come by and say HAY!

It Pays To Be Mean

So excited to announce that three I Love Factory pieces were spotted on last nights episode of Gossip Girl (on those lovable mean girls.) Featured above the Prospect, the Blazing Star, and the Dianthus Star. The above picture was taken by a friend of ours a few months ago during the filming of last nights episode. Thank you to everyone in the costume department at GG for being so good to us! We love the show!

The Top Five

After thoroughly scouring the assemblage of looks on style.com i have finally selected my finest five of Spring 2010. There were many outstanding presentations this September, however, these five designers served up undeniable collections infused with seductive silhouettes and artful adornments.

Lanvin - Simply Sweet

Alber Elbaz, you are precious! From capacious collars to delicate draping you've done it again...I wanted every garment, shoe, bag and accessory that traipsed down the runway. Staying true to Jeanne Lanvins' millinery beginnings, Elbaz presented classic ensembles oozing with embellishments.

Alexander McQueen - Minotaur Space Cadet

Alexander, you still shock me. I wish we were friends. And yes, those shoes are on there twice because given the opportunity I don't think I could decide which color I'd want. Your models looked like mesmeric minotaurs clomping down the runway in perfectly sculpted and patterned frocks.

Chanel - Cult Classic

Monsieur Lagerfeld, you completely fascinate me. Thick layers, classic fabrics, and a neutral color palette with surprising pops of color provided a whimsical setting for the straw clad stage at Chanel. Ballet like footwear, darling hair adornments, and pretty little purses transformed these girls into true Lagerfeld ladies.

Miu Miu - Patterned Princess

Miuccia Prada sent a neat assortment of playful patterns down the runway at Miu Miu. I always end up lusting after one of her dresses, such as !THIS!, however this time I wanted the whole collection. Each look was a perfect marriage between drape and tailoring, pattern and clashing, masculine and feminine. As usual, her sense of proportion was ever prevalent.

John Galliano - A Doll Faced Revolution

And the finest is...YOU! Everything about this collection is perfect, and it will probably inspire me for the rest of my life. John Galliano, how can i thank you enough? Meticulously embellished platforms paired with dainty girlish socks...bold, rich fabrics masked by airy chiffons and light laces...delicate, lady-like gloves and chunky pearl...pale faces with romantic head pieces...Perfection, like a Baroque fairy tale.

Most of all THANK YOU to everyone who has written about us or featured us this year! We look forward to a long lasting relationship with you all. Currently we are back in the factory working on the still untitled third collection and some truly unique collaborations.
