fringe fest – already on it!!!

Inner flappers and rhinestone cowboys rejoice – it’s totally time to bring in the fringe! The flirty movement-filled look is starting to rock summer ensembles, be it the main “Ooh/Ahh” or sassy, simple embellishment to an already WERK ensemble. But to be fair (and ever so modest), ds had it out in full swing before the “famouses” (what can we say, we’re SO ahead of the curve). Just ‘memba where you saw it first, and get shimmying!


But wait, what have we here? DS BRINGING THE TREND when last in LA!!!

and this we just HAD to put in...

STYLE: Come all ye neutrals, plated and Star Wars-ish…

It’s been a hot minute since a designer has splashed onto the scene and made the masses (including us) give a “what what” on the runway.  Aside from making neutral tones live like a technicolor futuristic’s dream, Canadian designer Todd Lynn is boldly taking jacket silhouettes (metallic shoulder plates? – um, yes please!), ornamental fringes and draping to a rather impressive place.

And in case you didn’t believe us that Todd is turning heads, just ask Janet, Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty…

Be sure to check out the full Todd Lynn Collection.

THE MUTHA OF ALL VINTAGE/THRIFT STORES HAS LANDED!!!!

OFF. THE . CHAIN. SERIOUSLY. GO.

1900 square feet of vintage and thrift delights – read that again, Cherubs.
Finally brought to fruition by the incomparable master of “Ooh’s” and “Ahh’s!”, Suzette Sundae, this recycling superstore will not fail to make both you and your wallet squeal as you frolic together through the hand-picked finds. We’ve already had a VIP special sneak peak, and we’re telling you….we can’t even tell you. Guest DJ’s, live shows, movies on the rooftop (oh, we didn’t tell you there was a rooftop hangout spot? Our bad.)…not to mention the largest and most inexpensive stock of vintage and thrift threads, accessories and housewares ever known to humankind. But don’t get it twisted, the opening is invite only, so better sign up or face the wrath of Dottie, Suzette’s pom-poochie and beloved store mascot.

dsdsgn: partnering with a power couple

Tera-Lee and Enrique Brown are, first and foremost, our Top ‘O The List friends. They also just so happen to be no-joke dancers, having racked up more than their fair share of Broadway and 1st Nationals Touring companies – they’re the real deal when it comes to twirlin’ and kickin’, ya’ll! As if that wasn’t enough, they’ve now embarked on choreography and master classes for the people, and believe us, they preach what they practice…

We grand jetted across the floor when we were assigned the honor of designing their site!  Just recently launched, it boasts photos by dirty sugar and site design by dsdsgn, dirty sugar’s web and graphic design partnership.

Go on ahead – slip on your La Ducas, and with a 5-6-7-8 check out their site!

"Break Out In Song" like nobody's watching…

Have you every had that moment when you’re walking down the street in midtown, the sun is shinning, and Sutton Foster is belting out “Forget About The Boy” on your iPod, and you want nothing more than to whip out your best triple time step, hoping that a band of mousy chorus girls will come running out out of Toys R Us, backing up your show-stopping production number in the middle of Time Square?  If you’re worth your weight in foot lights, we’ve all had that moment, and now thanks to the brain child of Ryan Mackey…it’s actually happening all over the city.  The project: Break Out in Song; The idea: a group of usually 50 or more dancers literally stop traffic in a high pedestrian area, and give homage to the Musical Theater Gods with jubilant public performances of musical theater numbers.

So next time you’re out and about in a city, and some random crazy starts spinning around to a mysterious soundtrack of musical theater anthems, sit back, kick up your feet, and let the free entertainment begin!
