I had the opportunity to sit with Bead & Reel's Sica Schmitz in her beautiful work space in Los Angeles. Founded in 2014, Bead & Reel has provided quality Fair Trade clothing and accessories for women.
As a Hollywood costume designer Sica had a hard time finding fashion forward clothing that met with her vegan and humanitarian values; so she created an online boutique where she would want to shop and also brought like-minded brands together to create an one stop ethical shop.

MINAN WONG: A Tale Of Two Cities
Written by
This season I decided not to attend any of the shows for fashion week in Los Angeles, mainly because I feel Los Angeles is still trying to define themselves in this industry (a story for another time), and it can be a little chaotic getting through some of the hype. Anyhow, my mind was set… that is until Rhonda Hill from Edgexpo suggested that we attend one day of shows for FWLA because the designers "looked to be progressive" for that day. Well that was enough for me to take another look at the designers who were presenting their collections. There was one particular designer’s collection I had to see in person after watching their video from New York Fashion Week on the Runway and that designer was Mimi Wong whose brand is called Minan Wong.

Best Hats To Wear This Fall Season.
Written by
"Never leave the house without stockings, never go out without a hat." Coco Chanel
Mme. Chanel knew a thing or two about hats; that they were elegant, chic, and most of all, necessary to complement any outfit. The art of millinery is timeless and as fashion designers showed during their past Fall collections, the novelty of a hat will never cease. As the cold season is here, face the crisp weather in style with hats that are sure to be the talk of the season.
