Honestly, all I can recommend is searching under yellow & black toile... there are literally THOUSANDS out there, and unfortunately I didn't keep track of where I found it... so sorry!

I'm really not sure - I found it online. I don't know if it's even available as a print. Sorry! :-P

I've run into celebrities before and I always make a point to treat them like humans...after all, that's what they are!

Hi Ellen - When launching like you are, I find it helps to have a polished press kit prepared that you can email to bloggers and PR people alike. It should be simple & concise (even one page is fine), showing your logo, a short synopsis of your brand position (even if it's a vintage shop - what kind of vintage, price points, style, etc,) and how people can follow you. (Are you on Facebook, twitter, etc? What's the brand blog going to feature?) Then, prepare a targeted list of bloggers you think would be ideal for attracting your type of customers.
For me, I don't generally write about vintage much, so I'm not the best fit for you. But, there are MANY blogs out there that love this sphere - especially on Etsy.
Good luck with everything! -
No - sorry those were from a long time ago. So I doubt they're being sold in stores. I'm definitely not selling my pair - I love them!

First, so sorry for my slow response! Business companies in fashion is a bit of a double-edged sword. They're very good in that they bring an influx of much-needed capital, but with this comes the expectation of keeping investors happy in the long-term. Creativity as a commodity has never been a particularly solid venture, and fashion is no exception. Fashion is an art, a craft, and the moment it is expected to make a lot of money it gets sacrificed. The major business brands running fashion houses today have amped up production and have cut out the "luxury" in favor of mass market sales in order to produce dividends. This is not good for the person who is in the industry for the beauty of craft and design. The old luxury/couture houses sell a bit of their soul when they start to go mass-market. For instance, having a Louis Vuitton handbag used to mean you had traveled to Paris or New York - it had a caché about it, a coveted quality. Now you can go to almost any strip mall and buy an LV bag. It's just tragic! The brand means nothing any more.
Especially when considered in that light, I have every respect for Valentino. When I watched his documentary I sobbed like crazy because of what the new owners did to push him out of the business. I'm not sure it's fair to say he wasn't ready for a change; he was the last great couturier and he lasted well into the modern era with great integrity and foresight. When we lose founder designers like him, the old ways of fashion-as-art die off piece by piece. I am proud of the fact that he held his own for so long - does anyone even know who's designing for the house now? No. At least I don't, off the top of my head. So much for launching big successful venture in place of a founder designer who won't change... -
I'm not sure what the exchange rate is right now, but probably close to $10 or $15 CAD... Have you checked on Target.com?

Hi Lea - The links on the sidebar of my blog are selected from among my favorites after much consideration. I am often asked to place links there as a favor or for payment, but I have to stay true to my values and only post my favorite links. I will visit your blog though and if your content is solid and consistent, I'll give it consideration!
