Inspiration Monday :: Transitions


It's that time again. Inspiration Monday ~ our favorite!  
This week we wrap up exploration of January's theme: New Beginnings.

As we transition into a new month, this quote seems quite fitting...
 
"Life is one big transition."
~Willie Stargell
We're always in a state of transition. From season to season. One stage of life to another. Job to job. Moment to moment, we are always changing.
It's in these times of transition that we need moments of pause. To stop and appreciate all that we have and all that we are.


How will you create a moment today, to ponder your own transitions (with gratitude)?
Let us know! Comment below or on our Facebook page!


Have a beautiful week!

Sachin and Babi Ahluwalia ~ designers, Sachin + Babi


Sachin + Babi’s Spring 2012 collection is inspired by 70′s glam rocker women Bianca Jagger, Grace Jones and Faye Dunaway, these icons are incorporated by use of “similar aesthetic and similar looks, but more relevant to our wardrobe now,” says co-designer Babi Ahluwalia. 
The color palate consisted of bright oranges, pinks, and metallic is an ode to the couple’s Indian heritage and origin. For years Sachin + Babi have provided textiles to some of Fashion’s top designers, and their resources and understanding of that product showed through here as well as ever in their most recent collection.   ...click here to read more

Inspiration Monday :: New Beginnings for Spring

Happy Inspiration Monday!   
This week we continue the thread of January's theme: New Beginnings.
Like water, be gentle and strong. Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth, and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world.
~Brenda Peterson
Water cleanses. It offers us a chance for renewal. With the ebb and flow of the tide, it give us a chance for a new beginning.
What are you committed to cleansing in your life this week?


Hope you enjoy this week's dose of inspiration!

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT :: Yigal Azrouël + Cut 25




Our January Designer Spotlight is celebrated designer, Yigal Azrouël.

Born and raised in Israel of French-Moroccan descent and having traveled to locations metropolitan and remote,  the designer draws inspiration from everything and everywhere: art, culture, architecture, nature and his hometown, New York City.

Yigal Azrouël launched his eponymous women's wear label in 1998 to critical acclaim.

Azrouël, a self taught designer, and who's signature aesthetic can be found in his expert draping, has evolved throughout the years through a myriad of forms and fabrics. His designs are always modern and fresh, with a precise attention to detail.

A few Yigal Azrouël looks that you'll be seeing soon at McMullen: 
*from the upcoming Spring 2012 collection







~


 In Fall 2010, Yigal Azrouël launched Cut25, a contemporary brand concept, combining high fashion with a day-to-day simplicity. 

The design sensibility is democratic in that it inspires individuality and creativity. 
The inherent appeal of Cut25 is in the artisanal approach to design and the philosophy that unique and innovative fashion can be offered to those who seek it.

Something we adore about Yigal, is that he believes in giving back and does so through a variety of charitable causes including: Love Heals The Alison Gertz Foundation for Aids, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundationamong numerous others.
