FASHION NEWS: DKNY Spring 2014 Collection

Spring 2014 marked DKNY's 25th anniversary and they paid tribute to their success by revisiting some classics from past collections with a twist. We saw lots of black and white ensembles and pastel colors as well as athletic wear infusions into a chic daily wardrobe.



We love the retro-inspired, black and white looks she sent down the runway with bright, cherry lips and sleek hairstyles. This is a look that's practical and wearable.





The collection had an athletic wear flair with baseball hats paired with suits, tennis skirts for day-wear, and active-wear tanks paired with airy skirts.



Karen also debuted several variations of overalls.... which was a huge trend for spring on the runways in New York.

Every girl wants to be her!

So we've been watching Fashion films for more inspiration and came across this gem from Free People... LOVE Free People and this video




Looking forward to the day we can post our own Fashion Video, thank you Free People for this beautiful love story and more importantly, the beautiful clothes!

How LissMee was born

I'm reflecting on the past month and the start of my new clothing line, LissMee. It's been a complete whirlwind and I can't believe it's getting the recognition we've received. I'm the luckiest girl in the world and so excited about the future.

Just a few weeks ago, I was approached by Jennifer Chipman, the director of Salt Lake City RAW: Natural Born Artists. I told her I had always wanted to launch a clothing line and she gave me a couple weeks to create a collection to be debuted at September's RAW show. 

Just one month later I found out I had gained the votes necessary to compete for the state title of Fashion Designer of the Year

I created some new pieces to better complete my line, worked like crazy, and won fashion designer of the year! I cried when they called my name.

Since then it's been one crazy, absolutely amazing dream-fulfilling, experience after another. Right now we're working on our website, doing as many photoshoots as possible, working out manufacturing details, and preparing for our line to be carried in stores.

Here, on LissMee's blog, I'll write about our new products, what we're up to, and invite you to join our journey in launching this business, getting inspiration, and what we're really all about. Take a look around and let us know what you think! We really want to hear from you. You'll also find our latest updates on Facebook:
