Designers' mischief-making fun with the mannequins

Our amazing photographer Marcy Maloy was here last week to discuss our upcoming photo shoot. We will be taking pictures of the new Fall ’09 Collections – I know, we apparel folks don’t go by ‘normal’ calendars! Here we are in the middle of winter, but we’re shipping our Spring Collection, and doing photo shoots for our Fall Collection! A photo shoot is an event that always brings excitement and more than a bit of havoc here at le•top! Marcy is based in San Francisco and has worked with us for over 10 years. She is a fashion photographer, and her love is working with children – check out Marcy’s Website to see some of her amazing photos, including some of ours!

New Year – New Collection!

Peekaboo...I (can barely) see you! Spring Collection getting readied in our warehouse for shipping to stores now. Yes! In the middle of winter!

There is something kind of exciting about the start of the New Year, isn’t there? This week (a short week of course!) I was working on the new collection for Fall 2009. I know – it is very confusing for most people – because right now our new Spring/Summer collections are appearing in stores! We are shipping cute things for spring to our retailers in all parts of the country, and very soon for summer – even though there are snowdrifts and freezing temperatures in many places!  Our warehouse is full of merchandise, but before long, it will all be spread out across the United States – ready for the change of weather that will come in a few short months!

For now – Happy New Year to all!  We are all excited for 2009 – it should be a great year!
