The Big Idea.. Unforgivable

For any one that hasn't been following this blog. I love "The Big Idea" That is my must see tv. Today I had the pleasure of checking out the show. The guest on the show was none other than Mr. Unforgivable himself, Diddy. He was a good interview and seemed extremely modest and maybe even a little nervous. I like that side of Diddy, it was real. It will air in a week or so and we can see if I survived the editing table, because yours truly begged her way into asking a question, pillow in hand. We also left with a gift bottle of Unforgivable.

Holiday Postcard

I am in the midst of finalizing the holiday postcard for the mass mailing to introduce the stocking collection. What do you think?

New Colors

I decided to switch up the Ol' Play denim color. I am in search of the right blue denim. I am liking this vintage wash right here. The vintage denim is now replacing the lt denim color. Any thoughts?

Also look out for the upcoming Luxe line of micro suedes. This is a lime suede pillow from a set that I created for an exclusive client that wanted the records printed on micro suede. They provided the fabric, it is absolutely fab.

New from laidback/ Holiday Stockings

I have been playing around with the idea since last year of doing a new take on the traditional Christmas stocking. So I did it the way only Laidback can rock it. It's 100% denim in one of your favorite styles "Headline" and yeah I did it.. I took it to the bling. However overused a term, the style is still hot. Check out the monnograms. Tell me what you think? These styles are limited editions and limited quality. Pre-orders will be accepted online starting 10/19.

New Model Condo's up in the BK

Anyone that has been living or been to NY knows that developers are building in every inch of land available. One of the newest developments to go up is a condo building in the heart of the BK, very Mondrian in feel from the outside. The developers are our latest fans having brought Laidback to help style the apartments to make them more attractive to the younger funkier set. Big up to Jillian for having great taste and being a pleasure to work with.

The Apartment Therapy design meetup is tonight in the Design Within Reach in Soho. Great time to network with fellow product designers and get introduced to new designers and ideas. Come on down at 7pm.

The Next Generation

Anyone who has been down with the blog or who knows the Laidback chick personally knows that my must see tv is the Big Idea. I missed this episode but Ephraim represents to me the possibilities of this generation. We are the future. Keep entrepreneurship alive. Get your hustle on!

Harlem does Project Runway

I cant even begin to say how hype I am about the next season of Project Runway. While Liadback does not endorse the majority of reality tv, I absolutely love PR. It encourages me and makes me step up my design game every time I watch it. Now I have known people from past seasons, but nobody quite as fab as Carmen of Sistahs of Harlem.
I actually met Carmen earlier this year when she spoke on a panel about Harlem and fashion. We immediately vibed and talked about the state of our youth and our responsibility to them. She is very smart and innovative and quite a talent. I look forward to this season and the exposure that this will bring her and Carmia, her business partner.
