About Krys-n-Jack:
Krys-n-Jack is a collaboration between Jacquetta O'Dell and Leslie Henry, who met in 2003 in their home State of Oklahoma, and have been inseparable since their first encounter. While in Oklahoma, Jacquetta and Leslie maintained an independent clothing line featured in several self-produced fashion shows and events. After a short study stint in London, the pair moved to Los Angeles, where they currently reside. Jacquetta graduated with a dual degree in Fashion Design and Business, and she is currently pursuing her Masters in Creative Writing.
Leslie, whose background is in interior design and upholstery, has always been focused on fabrication: She perfected her craft in not only fabric, but leather, wood, and metal. Jacquetta, who oversees EM & Co's online boutique and designs out of the upscale store on West 3rd Street, handles most of the business and design on the line, which she does out of EM & Co. Both women have an obsession with alternative textiles and strive to create pieces that will challenge them to continually create. The inspiration for their Spring 2010 line comes from this obsession. The 'Knockers' combines wood, leather, and metal: The wood and the leather are both raw materials that they have cut, dyed, stained, and cured. With this collection, they honor the craftsman, our modern day warrior.

About Scott Ward:
Scott Ward works in corporate America, in a typically drab cubicle, and stares
at spreadsheets, graphs, charts, and data all day long. When he gets bored
or distracted, he uses Microsoft Excel to unleash his creativity -- the shading
on the spreadsheet cells takes on a whole new meaning. The 'secret' files
are then emailed home, and the designs get recreated on canvas, in paint...

About It's a Lola!:
Nancy Mende, AKA Lola, helped form a high-end designer, hand-knit sweater line in the late '70s, called Les Deux Noisettes. Their stunning, one-of-a-kind creations were featured at Bloomingdales, Macy's, Barneys, Henri Bendel, among others. Within a year of the company's inception, it employed a staff of 75, including 25 meticulous knitters.
The Les Deux Noisettes line garnered incredible attention within the fashion world and beyond. Because of its unprecedented overnight success, the line was in jeopardy of becoming mass produced and copied. So Lola did the unthinkable. She went to Italy, got married, and moved on.
Kind of.
Since stepping away from 7th Avenue in the mid '80's, Lola has continued to enjoy an intimate, loyal fan base that commission her to design and create sweaters, throws and handbags.
Now, back by popular demand (pleading from her customers in New York, Boston and Miami) It's a Lola! returns with stunning handbags for day or evening.
Lola's silk, wool and chenille yarns are hand dyed in Italy, Chile, Peru and the U.S.; the straps are supple leather and suede; and the linings vintage or new silks, cottons or blends. Lola has also incorporated a "green" group with handles made from faux crock, natural woven materials and inlaid wooden handles.
Lola does not use patterns to design her bags. Her designs go directly from mind to skein, not from pen to paper. Lola will not duplicate her bags. Therefore, every bag is one of a kind. So when people ask you where you got your gorgeous hand-knit bag, you can say with confidence, "It's a Lola!"

About Queenie4ever:
Los Angeles teen fashion designer Tatiana Mclane, is only 17, yet she has already established herself as a Fashion Queen in the world of media and entertainment. She has designed clothing worn by world-famous celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff, Ming Na (the voice of Disney’s ‘Princess Mulan’), Daveigh Chase (the voice of Disney’s ‘Lilo’), Beverly Mitchell (star of hit TV series ‘Seventh Heaven’), Sasha Cohen (Olympic Ice Skating Champion), current ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestants Aaron Carter and Melissa Joan Hart, Tyler Connolly (lead singer of ‘Theory of A Deadman’), and many more. Tatiana’s childhood friend, 15-year old Frankie Clarke - the namesake for iconic label Frankie b. - is Tatiana’s model/muse.
Even at the young age of nine, Tatiana had a natural flair for color and style, helping her mom - music lawyer Venice Wong – style wardrobes for rock star clients. After meeting Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough at a charity event, Tatiana told him she was a fashion designer and that she could custom design anything he wanted. He took her up on her offer, and Tatiana flew out to Orlando, Florida to see a Backstreet Boy appear on stage wearing her designs. This amazing experience was enough to convince her mom to help Tatiana set up her own fashion company; thus, Queenie4ever was born. Created by Tatiana Mclane and her mom, Venice Wong, Queenie4ever is meant to be positive role model for young girls to follow their dream, just like Tatiana is following hers - to be a successful fashion designer.
Enter Tatiana’s Fashion Fairytale Kingdom, Queenie4ever, where you will find clothing created to make you feel like a Fairytale Princess. Clothing that is inspired by Tatiana’s love of old Hollywood glamour and vintage styles mixed with her obsession with Japanese pop culture and Harajuko street wear: www.queenie4ever.com.
