MTV Brasil meets Love Brigade

MTV Brasil came by our retail space and studio in January and interviewed Alyssa Key, Tinypants, and Jamie Rockaway as their first featured designer for their new fashion/music/art show. The show, called IT MTV, walks the streets of NY to get the scoop on Fashion, with an F! It has a comical tone and approaches fashion with humor (just the way we like it!). We were so small compared to the team that filmed and interviewed us. We would say they were two times as tall, literally! You'll see what it looks like when Love Brigade talks to giants. Start watching at 4:55. It ends at 6:45. It is awesome.

Backstage with Tinypants @ St. Louis Fashion Week

Kari from Above the Fray Magazine gets the scoop on our Fall'09 Collection with Tinypants, our Creative Director, back stage at Saint Louis Fashion Week.

*the audio is kind of hard to hear at some points, partially due to Tinypants slurring all his S's and the comotion backstage. You can thank Budweiser for all constant flow of beer. We'll have a transcript soon. MAYBE! xo

Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes at a fashion label? We work! Below are some snapshots of Jamie, Alyssa, and Tinypants working on the patterns for Fall'09 (holy cow, is it really almost 2009?).

Manslaughter for Mishka is the first line of Couture Streetwear tailored to bloodthirsty babes. Manslaughter is an experimental reconstruction of Mishka's Streetwear designs. This metamorphosis now serves the innocent their first taste of vicious.

Designers Mad Marietta and Valissa Yoe collaborate on Manslaughter, proving opposites create balance by weaving Marietta's dark, nocturnal vision with Yoe's sultry, fiery side.
