kobi + mia.

As a Christmas gift to each other, my fiance and I decided to adopt another dog. We're both huge animal-lovers (*hence, de*nada's use of animal-friendly fibers), and have been thinking about adopting another dog for sometime now. A few weeks before Christmas, we met Kobi, an adorable one and half year old akita + shepherd mix at a local shelter. After introducing him to our home and our other dog, Mia, we knew instantly he was a perfect match! On the right, is a photo of Kobi playing in the snow, and below a photo of Mia and Kobi passed out after playing in the snow ... aren't they so adorable!

A few days ago, I received an email from Kayten from You are an Animal, a blog focused on vegan fashion, culture, and lifestyle. She was so sweet enough to post a selection of photos from our a/w collection '09 on her site ... did you know all our fibers are animal-friendly?? If you haven't visited her blog, please do! Her selection of accessories and apparel is my cup of tea ... I love it! And thank you Kayten for thinking of de*nada!!

press: bust + dc style factory.

Wow, this past weekend was just plain busy! 5 shows in 3 days, which included driving up and back from NYC in 1 day, 2 shows on both Saturday and Sunday with mucho office work and tons of orders to fulfill, left me in zombie mode by the end of it all (*many thanks to my big sis, her boyfriend, and of course my fiance for repping de*nada when I couldn't be in 2 places at the same time!!)

But after a quick power nap and 10 cups of coffee later, I finally back to myself :) And I wanted to share with y'all some recent press mentions that I couldn't post earlier ... check it out!

First: BUST Magazine! So let me first say that I love BUST Magazine. I have been a huge fan of this magazine since college. And so, it's a huge honor for me to be mentioned on their blog! Here's a bit of what they wrote about de*nada:

"... de*nada, a fabulous line of cozy handknit wears from hats to scarves and everything in between. They've revamped their site and show off their collection with models and beautifully shot photos." ... cool, eh? To read more, please visit: www.bust.com



Secondly: DC Style Factory. I was recently interviewed by Rosana Hemakom Vollmerhausen, former boutique owner who recently launched DC Style Factory after clients from the boutique started contacting her for styling advice and services. I love how the interview turned out, and thank Rosana for being such a sweetheart!! To read DC Style Factory interview with de*nada, please visit www.dcstylefactory.wordpress.com

press: the president wears prada.







Our friends at The President Wears Prada did a lovely photo shoot using select styles from de*nada's a/w 09 collection! Here's a little explanation about their inspiration with the photo shoot:

"... Since the designer and I share South American roots and inspirations I wanted to incorporate very layered, ethnic looks similar to those that filled my childhood memories, so I brought to the field all the ethnic blankets I've been collecting over the years and had so much fun playing with them (and with the grasshoppers)."
