we don't have a 80% off sale

Hi :)

and Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American customers!

Chances are this is your first blog post NOT advertising a Black Friday sale (Or your first newsletter NOT advertising a Black Friday sale).

We think that's cool. Yes, that's right. We're NOT having a sale. We pride ourselves to be individualists. That also means we like to have sales when others don't. We certainly won't have them because everybody else has them. And to be frank, we could not afford to sell our clothing at 80% off - no way!
You heard right. Going sale percentages are 50%, 75% even 80% off... as witnessed by IDILVICE herself recently at a mall on 34th Street in Manhattan (header image). A 10-15% off sale or even 25% off won't do any longer.
Have you asked yourself why in the world are they offering you such low prices? Duh, the economy! But it's the economy because most items on local shelves nowadays are imported from China and from other faraway places, not made in local factories, which employ your neighbor or maybe yourself. That's why. But you already knew that. Yet, you keep buying those cheaply made items, which do absolutely nothing to save your beloved world and your beloved America. In the contrary, you are aware that the little money you spend will keep China afloat but will eventually bring America down. If that's what you want...?

 
Instead you could save that small change and make it become a larger sum, which will allow you to buy a quality American made product, which supports your dream! Or, do something altogether different with your money. Don't buy anything, give it to someone in need.

This way, you will soon see your favorite American products on sale again in an economy that's booming...

Here's a little history on Fashion Made In America: More than 3 years ago, The New Yorker Magazine published an article (with newly elected First Lady Michelle Obama - herself a noted supporter of American Made Fashion - on its cover), which focused on 'Made In America' products. IDILVICE Fashion was mentioned in it along with the few local designers, such as Oscar De LaRenta and Anna Sui, left being manufactured in New York City. Read the article now! The writer and publishers already saw back then were we would be with this in 2012 and beyond. Designers like Oscar De LaRenta, Anna Sui and IDILVICE, do not have 80% Off sales in 2012 and neither will they in 2013.

In 1950, nearly a third of employed Americans worked in factories. In 2009, it was about ten per cent. I suspect today it's less than that.
No time for sadness. Are you with us? The best times are yet to come!



And in the spirit of always ending on a good note, what are we looking up to when we are not as strong as we would like to be? Heroes and heroines. Love. Family. Although this is not the latest Hollywood release, we think Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games embody the perfect heroes for times like these, ridden by super storms and financial crisis. May their strength and love for each other bring you hope this season! 

As always, new items are added daily! Check out the New Arrivals

category!

So remember what we've talked about and what it actually takes for bringing America back. It's all in our own hands and every time we buy, we vote for what kind of America we want to have. With these thoughts, we are sending you into the beautiful holiday season and are certain that the best is yet to come!

Happy Holidays!

taylor swift loves peeta mellark

Yeeha! Taylor Swift is in love with Peeta Mellark from the Hunger Games! This cool collage from Polyvore is one of my very favorites so far! What would Katniss say though?! She'd look fab in this Peeta Mellark Dress too, but I guess Taylor snatched it first :)

In case you wondered, the background is the Schwarzwald (Black Forest) in Southern Germany.

ny fashion week 2012 portrait by carl posey

This of course is not the first time you see an image of me - ha! No certainly not, sometimes it seems all I do is having my picture taken...  but seriously, not always are they so cool as this recent portrait created by photographer Carl Posey. This collection has recently been featured in the photographers newsletter.

His eye popping images always have that special extra, uniquely obscure feel. In an era of personal promotion, these images are priceless and can make someone stand apart from the rest, be used for press, advertising and also in online shop banners, on facebook fan pages, newsletters, etc. The commission of a professional photographer is a incomparable valuable investment for an entrepreneur such as myself!

IDILVICE fashion is made in usa

Just a reminder that IDILVICE fashion is made in USA. This is important in a time when American jobs are scarce, we need every job to stay right here and IDILVICE has been and will be made locally. We are pioneers. We are the future. So whenever you can, buy American. The job you save may be yours...
