Sneak Preview of Girl Friday Spring 2010!


Here's a sneak peak of our Spring 2010 collection for all of you die hard Girl Friday fans (I hope I have some!)

We're getting ready to send the collection to our sales agents in Canada. I've spent many grueling hours working on this collection, and have many people to thank for their collaboration.

I want to thank... 
Genevieve Smolders- a fantastic photographer and graphic designer.... she improves every day and is so incredibly talented.
Katherine Kates- makeup and hair... She sees things that we might miss during a photo shoot. I'm so awed by her experience and talent. I appreciate her taking time out of her work day to come on set with us.
Jennifer Hickey- one of my most extraordinary assistants. 
Jessica Simms- one of my other extraordinary assistants.

I have to give a huge shout out to my girls (assistants) Jess and Jenn. It's not the easiest job to create a collection, and they've both been extremely hardworking and entertaining during the whole process. It has been a pleasure to work with both Jess and Jenn.... they're true gems!

Michael Jackson

The first album I ever had was Michael Jackson's "Thriller" I was only 6, but I thought his music was the coolest thing I had ever heard. He inspired my parents to put my brother and I into breakdancing lessons (I really sucked... I still can't do the moon walk). I read on various websites today that he has passed away and would like to pay tribute to a music and fashion vanguard. He has inspired so many musical artists and fashion designers. His clothing was always outrageous, but always had a consistent theme. His love of military-inspired clothing has influenced the whole fashion world (although minus the sequins and rhinestones). We'll miss you Michael!
