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,

Ibiza Fashion – Sexy Summer

11 06 2008

Hi,

One of the best things about my job is choosing the fashion that I like most for the shop.

One of my great passions is Ibiza. The island, its atmosphere, its beaches and, of course, its fashion! It strikes me as a style that is fun, sexy and comfortable. Just like the island!

Whenever I go to Ibiza, I come back with loads of dresses, trousers, accessories, t-shirts… That’s why I have included the Ibiza Collection in Naïa do Mare. It’s a little piece of Ibizan fashion online. And this is just the start. For next season, I’m planning on bringing the most divine from each designer on the island to Naïa do Mare for all the fans of this style.

The Ibiza Collection includes the following departments of clothing:

Long Dresses – Ibiza Collection

Short Dresses – Ibiza Collection

Long Skirts – Ibiza Collection

Short Dresses – Ibiza Collection

Long Sleeve Tops – Ibiza Collection

Short Sleeve Tops – Ibiza Collection

Sets – Ibiza Collection

I have also included a lot of Accessories.

Now we just need the summer to arrive at last!

Besitos,

Ana





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…

Getting to Know Naïa do Mare’s OnLine Store

5 06 2008

Hello again,

I thought I’d explain a bit about how the site works ( www.naiadomare.com )

The font page looks like this:

Naïa do Mare - Página principal

It’s very simple really.

Below the title you can choose your language (Spanish or English).

“My Account” is to register or to access your account (personal information, addresses, order history, etc…).

“My Wishlist” is for your list wishlist! It’s a list that you can send to your friends, family, etc. so that they know what you want for your birthday, christmas…

“My Basket” is your shopping basket.

“Checkout” is to make your purchase.

After that there are three buttons (for now) to: listen to music, invite your contacts (with the possibility to get a gift!!) or to choose your currency.

The most important aspect oof the page is the “lift”/”elevator”. It has arrows to go up or down in the page (if you put the mouse on top of them, the page goes up or down gradually or, if you click on them, it goes to the top or the bottom). If you roll over the floor numbers, a list comes out with links to the different departments of that floor.

¡Easy!

If you have any problems surfing the site, please leave a comment or contact me via www.naiadomare.com and we will try to fix the problem.

Of course, one of my reasons for starting this blog is to listen to your suggestions. If the page is missing anything, or if you’re looking for something in particular, here I am!

See you soon, ciao!!

Ana

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!!!
