XOXO Fashion Designer Gilles Montezin

September 22, 2009 0 Comment written by Crosby

Dress up will never be the quite same after spending a morning with independent designer Gilles Montezin (Sarah Jessica Parker, Madonna, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Debra Messing are fans) in his New York studio. Thank you Gilles, for being so welcoming and encouraging and for participating with such joy as we tried on, fell in love, and fell more in love with each piece until we each found the perfect thing to wear to the IFB Dress-Up Soiree. The grins on our faces from that morning are a testament to what an amazing opportunity it was to be near, let alone wear, clothes of such beauty. XOXO

Fashion PR News: Touch of Pink PR Signs Two New Clients

September 21, 2009 1 Comment written by PR Couture

Touch of Pink Public Relations, a boutique fashion and lifestyle agency based in Brooklyn, recently signed on two new clients, handbag designer Joe Charles of Foxcrow Philosophy and author Michael Batshaw.

NYC designer Joe Charles launched the Foxcrow Philosophy collection Spring 2009 and it’s already selling on the lower east side at retail store Tulips NYC. The luxury brand features handbags made with premium leathers, rich colors, exotic skins, and brass hardware all adorned with the distinct Foxcrow Philosophy logo. With a graphic design background and a love of making handbags to fit each woman’s lifestyle, Joe Charles will definitely make “arm-candy” believers out of Foxcrow Philosophy.

51 things book

Jordanna Stephen, President of Touch of Pink PR, reached out to author and NYC board certified psychotherapist Michael Batshaw after learning of his new book, The 51 Things You Should Know Before Getting Engaged. “Every dating fashionista needs this in their library,” she explains.

Batshaw has proven himself to be a real-life “Hitch” doctor with his new, purse-sized and Tiffany blue-esque colored book that aims to help every woman get the 5-1 on their fiancé before he “puts a ring on it.” The book, which hit bookstores in September 2009, offers perspectives and tools to increase chances of a successful engagement and marriage.
