baam! our first collaboration with elastic wonder

BAAM! Whaddaya think about our brand new photo shoot collaboration with Elastic Wonder? 

We are just about smashed to the floor by so much beauty and color explosion... These leggings are a limited edition run and you better hurry to snatch you a pair as they're flying out of our NY warehouse! Last I checked there were only about 18 pieces left, all in different sizes.

And what about that dope sweatshirt y'all? Brand spanking new for Fall 2014 by yours truly. Get yours at IDILVICE.com they should be fully stocked by next week. 

Yes, Virgin Mary is gracing this two tone unisex neon orange fleece sweatshirt, decorated with yellow rib. You guessed right: it is the softest, warmest creation and you'll be wearing it all Winter long. (Don't even think about all the compliments you are going to get!)

So Catholic or not - this sweatshirt's for YOU.

Summer

Zen Fashion Summer 2014

How's your Summer been so far?

I am loving the warm sunshine on my winter prone pale skin. In terms of style, I've been really choosy... maybe not in the way you think. I am talking about getting my style in a casual way, something more layed back than the recent fitted, taylored trend of Spring and even Winter... I have been picking cottons in pastel colors and whites... here is one of our most recent designs which is perfectly zen for these hot days. (Buddha must have the most serene face features ever!) It works in the city and at the beach, just don't forget to pack it when you go on vacation, it's just a daily go to dress, so easy and still pretty dressy due to the elaborate printing and tie dye features. Anyway, just wanted to check in and let you know what I am up style wise right now. 

Happy Summer!

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!

kid rock rocks

You all know the cool Kid Rock "Kiss My Anglo Saxon Ass" Dress from my collection. It's actually one of my bestsellers. The gold foil enhancement on the sunnies and the bling make it extra special and the positioning of the x-rated slogan (which by the way has been removed once for a customer, who said that she would rather not have that printed on her buttocks, and I complied as an exception) is so exiting!




Anyways, the dress is nearly sold out by now, I think I have 1 or 2 pieces in XS and S left, but that fact and the resulting useless promotion of it, did not keep me from showing you the promo images Kid Rock has recently published - They are HOT! Love the chicks in those cut-out gold lamé bathing suits.... and what about these afro's?!

It is so nice to see the rest of the image in retrospect! I always adored the pic of Kid and obviously many of my customers did also, but it rocks that the extension of the image is so incredible hot too!





Well, I thought Kid Rock rocked before, but now I think Kid Rock rocks even more!

don't forget, it's still summer

Soon enough the Fall and Winter will come upon us in the State of New York... I wanted to remind everybody and myself to enjoy to be outside as much as we can in the coming weeks... in a few days August is gone by and before we know it it's time to make plans for X-mas and the new Year 2012.... hey but that hurts! I don't even wanna think about that yet... so I will do my best to once again head to the beach, wear my shorts and Summer tops, platform sandals and so on... you should too :)

more summer 2011

Enjoying Brooklyn tonight!

summer of color 2011

The Summer of 2011 is not exactly a 'Summer Of Love' I'd say. Although hippie style is back on the streets with a vengeance, the peace & love experienced in the original Summer Of Love in 1967 is largely non existing today. Sad, right. But what can you do?

Since I can't speak of another Summer Of Love, I will say, while ignoring everything else imporant going on in the world, the Summer of 2011 is a Summer Of Colorful Nail Polish. Nail salon palettes seam to ever expand by the day. Instead of the usual variety of shades of reds, there are milky greys, dirty muds, sparkly yellows, camouflage greens, soft purples, day glo oranges, electric and midnight indigo blues... wait! Blues??!

Years ago if you would have been seen with blue nails, they would have thought you are about to die. Today in 2011 blue nails are no longer something worth more than a quick "Yeah, I know this is the newest color" nod. No stares and no head turns. Blue is totally cool in 2011.




Nothing to be afraid of. But wait, I missed a point. Not only is this 2011 the Summer Of Crazy Nail Polish, it is also a new Summer Of Color everywhere! Colors and graphics. Nobody is afraid of color or graphics. Not even men. I see the craziest combinations, polka dots and stripes combined... everything goes!

Well of course not everything 'goes', but people seem to be getting better at being confident about what goes.... An abstract painting on a blouse anyone? Monet? Yeah, go right ahead and add the highest platforms with that in a 'non-matching' leopard pattern.

Meezer, Caroline and IdilVice during Summer Of Color 2011.

Feathers in your ears? Flowers on your head? Pink, blond and blue hair all at once? Go right ahead!

I always was a colorful individual myself, someone that would not let anyone tell her: "This does not match." But I am suspecting that Lady Gaga has freed a lot more people by now.

happy 4th of july!

...IdilVice at Sky Bar wearing the Betty Boop Peace Sign Hippie Chick Flamenco Ruffle Sleeve Top...

July is my birthday month and frankly probably my favorite in the year :) The weather is at it's best and the warm sun (please use SPF sun protection like I do) makes everyone smile and have a blast... it is yet again time to spend outside in a circle of friends on the many priceless NYC rooftops! Well, as you see, I am ready for the fireworks show later on tonight, so please: Bring 'em on!
