Calling All Up-And-Coming Fashion Designers!!!

16 06 2008

Hi,

As I have written here before, one of my main aims is to give new, talented designers a place to show off and publicise their work in the best possible way – by selling it to the general public.

The fashion industry is ever more dominated by multinational corporations that decide what we should wear before then producing it, packaging it up and spending billions on convincing us to buy it which is not really necessary as often there doesn’t seem to be an alternative.

This is where the internet can be an amazing tool. If you’re reading this, you are probably a modern, internet using, informed consumer that understands the web’s potential for finding just what you’re looking for as well as new things you didn’t even know existed.

This is why, here at Naïa do Mare, we’re bringing our search for new talent into the open and we would like to ask you for your suggestions for talented new designers that could benefit from having somewhere to exhibit and sell their designs.

We are already having a great response to the Greek designer Dimitris Camarinopulos’s collection which we have to offer on our website and we are already speaking to various other designers hoping to include their creations in the near future but we want to do more.

If you are a designer, get in touch! If you know of any good designers, get in touch! This goes for footwear designers and accessories designers too.

Obviously, we’re actively searching too so, whatever happens, there’s going to be some new and exciting things happening at www.naiadomare.com

Kisses,

Felina Lingerie – Great Quality and Sizes for All of Us!

5 06 2008

Hello again guys and girls,

Right from the start, we’ve wanted our online store to be a place where there was no discrimination against any woman. Our wish is that Naïa do Mare, should be a feminine world in which we can all find what we’re looking for, need or simply want!

Speaking to friends before starting to develop Naïa do Mare, we realised that it was very difficult for women with less usual sizes to find feminine, attractive clothes.

Chatting about lingerie, a lot of them said that they were sick of not being able to find pretty, attractive things that were also high quality.

So, when we were carrying out the supplier selection process, we heard about Felina Lingerie and, having met with the people responsible for Felina Spain, we were so amazed that we had no doubts in adding this beautiful lingerie to Naïa do Mare.

We are very proud of being able to offer Felina’s products. The quality is extraordinary and they have thought of absolutely everything from the width of the straps which increases with the size to reinforcement points, etc. and, moreover, they are very attractive, sexy, elegant collections and they make you feel secure and extraordinarily comfortable. Felina covers the needs, not only of large-chested women, but also of women with smaller sizes.

There are bras, bodies, panties, sports collection….

Here you have some examples of their products and we recommend that you visit Naïa do Mare to discover how divine the collections are that we have selected for you…

Hi, how are all you fashion addicts?!

We have fresh news from Naïa do Mare that I want to share with you! At the moment we are talking to various new designers from all areas of fashion, clothing, jewellery, footwear… and we are working very hard to introduce you to the best from these great artists that we believe in for their outstanding work.

We hope to be able to offer some new collections very soon.

At the moment, we are principally concentrating our efforts on a couple of designers from London, an excellent Portuguese silversmith and a fantastic designer from Barcelona. Out interest is centred on being able to bring you the exclusive originality of new international talents and, at the same time, promote creativity, something which is never bad in the world of fashion as limitation is never good in art. We want to let the imagination run wild and free so that we can have more styles available to us!

From what we are seeing, the exclusive Atenas collection, from the excellent Greek designer Dimitris Camarinopulos, is being a great hit and according to the comments we have received, people would like to see different trends from artists from different countries. Well, I assure you that we are working on it and we firmly believe that we are selecting the best from each place.

At the same time, I want to make an appeal to all those designers from any aspect of the fashion world that would like to make a proposal to Naïa do Mare that they get in touch with us, we are always open to new proposals.

Lastly, to say thank you for reading my new English blog, I would like to offer you a discount of 10€ for purchases over 60€.

This is specifically for WordPress.com readers. It is limited to the first 20 people that use it!

FASHION AND STYLE ONLINE – NAÏA DO MARE





PRESENTING NAÏA DO MARE – FASHION AND STYLING ONLINE

4 06 2008

Hello everyone,

I would like to present “Naïa do Mare“, our new way of shopping. The alternative from the same old thing!!!

I am Ana Martínez, director of this fashion and styling initiative.

Personally, I am passionate about fashion. As a great consumer and after years working in various of its fields and analysing the subject… I’ve got tired of almost always seeing the same , (something which bores me terribly), that friends with less common sizes can’t dress the same as the rest of us and that when we want something more, let’s say, exclusive, different, the prices ruin the month’s economy (in the best case scenario)! Moreover, I wanted us to have something more, a whole world of femininity made for and by us in which we can feel cared for and have direct contact with the whole team responsible for the project.

For all this, I decided to create, along with a small team of good professionals, a site that would be accessible to everyone (hence its being online), with fashion for all tastes and sizes and prices that have been heavily negotiated for with the suppliers and designers. These designers, by the way, are selected from a wide variety of places; London, Paris, Athens, Ibiza… and that’s just for now!!! The idea is to bring people with interesting ideas and good prices together from all over.

Here you have an example of the Athenian designer, Dimitris Camarinopulos (only available online from Naïa do Mare!): Short Dresses, Atenas Collection. Images from some examples below.

Anyway, you’re all invited to get to know us at: www.naiadomare.com

Oh! and, please, if you have any doubts, advice, or if you simply want to talk about fashion and styling, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Kisses for everyone and speak soon, ciao!!!
