Lots of noteworthy people have said lots of noteworthy things about change. You thought I was going to continue the title of this post with the words "...you wish to see in the world," the famous Gandhi quote, right? Well, while we like that very much, it's not exactly what I'm thinking.
Here's a more appropriate one for this post, I think:
"Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken." -Frank Herbert
As you all know, Nolita has been through some major changes in the last week or so. We packed up and returned to our old neighborhood, the Wilma block of South Higgins. And while we're a touch sad about leaving the lovely North Higgins neighborhood, we're also brimming with excitement and hoping that this move will serve as a sort of "awakening" for us.
In fashion, as in most everything, things move fast. Trends change before you know it, the economy dives, influences fade or come rushing into our minds from the most unexpected of places...and this is one of the reasons we love it so much. It gives us the chance to actively participate in the world around us; to respond to our shifting culture with our own ideas and interpretations of what's relevant, fun, and beautiful, and then bring them all to you.
We're striving to view our relocation not merely as a change of address. We're puting tons of thought into what's fresh and vibrant, while still retaining the chic, downtown-cool aesthetic that you've grown to know and love. We're looking forward to shaking things up for spring and bringing back the best of the best. We hope a little of our inspiration and aspiration rubs off, or that you at least enjoy its fruits through the fabulous lines we've picked for spring!
I'll leave you with a few more words of wisdom, this time from self-proclaimed "dictator of taste" Blair Waldorf (of Gossip Girl): "Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It’s movement, design and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we’d like to be."
