Rachel Roy in Elle Magazine

Rachel Roy talks about her new line for Macy's, Rachel by Rachel Roy. The article goes on to discuss a little about her marriage to hip-hop entrepreneur Damon Dash and their high-profile divorce, her background and her inspiration for her new line.

"I always have one foot in the street so I know not everyone wants to dress like the women they see in music videos. I like self-respecting girls who want a taste level. I wanted to give them clothes they could feel on-trend with but also wear to a job interview"

When discussing her line for Macy's she says, "I was thinking of a risk-taker who doesn't want to show too much skin. But, she's the girl in the crowd from whom others get their style."

She worked at Contempo Casuals and eventually became assistant manager. She moved to New York where she worked at Rocawear for 6 years. She started as an intern and worked her way up to creative director.

"I want to be a good role model and make clothes that will help women feel confident and happy no matter who they are or where they come from."

Roy says that one of her goals as a designer is to give women permission to look different.

Sonia Rykiel for H&M

Sonia Rykiel created a lingerie line for H&M that will launch December 5th. This is the first time that H&M extended its designer collaboration to include lingerie and related accessories. The collection will be in over 1,500 stores worldwide and will also be available in Sonia Rykiel stores.

Fred Flare

Fred Flare is a quirky boutique in NYC. It was started in 1998 by two guys named Keith and Chris. They produced their first item, which were disposable drink coasters, and sold them off the back of a bike. The store grew to include stationary, home decor, clothing and accessories. They branched out into an online store where they sell not only their own products but, products from their favorite brands. The name Fred Flare comes from the great Fred Astaire. Keith and Chris said, "Great design should be as fun and entertaining and an old musical or modern music video."Fred Flare is a website where you can find fun and unique things. It is the perfect place to purchase fun holiday gifts. From clothing and accessories to home decor and novelties. You can find anything and everything unique at www.fredflare.com.

Zara Is My New Favorite Store

Zara is one of the largest international fashion companies. It is also one of my new favorite stores. Zara sells both mens and womens clothing as well as shoes and accessories. Zara is a very fashion foward company but it is also unique. The prices are a little more expensive then H&M but, they are still very much affordable. The store is also very eco friendly. Zara recycles, cuts back on waste and saves energy. For transportation Zara uses biodiesel fuel. They also use eco friendly fabrics such as organic cotton and PVC free footwear. Even the bags they use are biodegradeable and recycleable. But, here is the best part. All animal products sold in Zara stores, including fur and leather, come ONLY from animals reared in livestock farms. That still might not make it okay for some of you but, at least their trying!

I LOVE Zara even more now, don't you?
