New Hat Coming In June!

2011-05-30T12:14:00.000-07:00

So it's been awhile since I have updated my blog....bad me. I have been getting my shit together over the last several months. Good thing because life is good and on track for the most part.
Now my exciting news is my new hat coming out in June. It's a tie-back visor, just as stylish as the rest of my hats. It will come in black, white, and pink. As soon as they arrive, I will have pics to share. The new style will be available on my etsy store or if you are in Fresno, at Salon Del Monaco on Champlain and Perrin. Peace Out!

Los Angeles Ford Fiesta Fashion Week Hits Fresno!

2010-09-20T10:09:00.000-07:00

Los Angeles based “Ford Fiesta Fashion Week” will make a stop at Fresno’s Fashion Style Lounge on September 30, 2010 at 6:00pm at Woodward Park Amphitheater. The “Ford Fiesta Fashion Week” hosted by Hollywood Fashion Celebrities, Parris Harris and Sebastian St. George, have achieved great success by stylishly promoting the 2011 Ford Fiesta in its fashion shows all over Southern California and Las Vegas. Ford Motor Company branded the social marketing campaign as “The Fiesta Movement” with Parris Harris and Sebastian St. George being two of 40 Fiesta Agents in the Nation. http://www.fiestamovement2.com/ You can view the new 2011 Ford Fiesta sponsored by Lithia Ford at Fashion Style Lounge.

The fashion runway show will include an extraordinary exhibit of hair and fashion. Ajmal Layla is an expression of silent beauty and mid-eastern fashion presented by hair designer, Isaac Huerta and theatrical makeup artist, Maha Ahmed.

Activation Speciation is a spectacle of evolutionary fashion as seen in the eyes of its creator, Lindsey Zielger. Lindsey coordinates many fashion shows in Fresno, San Francisco, and Orange County and was offered the opportunity to be FSL’s Fashion Show Creative Director.

Parris Harris will reveal his unique display of fashion reinvention with Punk Mail. Wires, tape, stickers , foam animals, chains, the kitchen sink (JK) and other treasuries that may assemble a shirt or dress; Punk Mail recycles, recreates, and redirects a garments path in the eyes of Parris Harris. The crowed will definitely be entertained and surprised by this runway expose.

Fashion Style Lounge or FSL is not like other fashion shows in Fresno because every show is different. One constant element; it brings together local and LA based indie fashion and accessory designers along with beauty experts and products. Guests can shop, eat, drink, take a picture, and meet new people who all have the same thing in common….fashion. One guest described FSL, “I felt like we were characters straight out of a scene from “Sex and the City.” Where else can you see a 100 foot runway?

Fashion Style Lounge takes place on September 30, 2010 at 6pm. This is a 21+ event benefiting local non-profit, A Spoonful of Sugar. Tickets available at PC Solutions, www.fashionstylelounge.com or call Falina Marihart at 559-487-1091 for more details. Thank you to Lithia Ford, Avecinia Wellness Center, Zarcone Salon, The Standard, and PC Solutions for their support.

Motorcycle Doo-Rag Goes Custom!!

2010-05-18T11:40:00.000-07:00

So I have been getting requests to add logos, rhinestones, feathers, etc. to my hats and I think it's great. I love the fact you can customized this hat to your own style. I have a few more orders to work on but as soon as I have them done, I will post pics. Personally, I like the classic black look when I wear my bad ass hat!

An Upscale Doo-Rag?

2010-05-11T15:56:00.000-07:00

My motorcycle-inspired Bad Ass hat is like, or better yet, it is an Upscale Doo-Rag. (That's weird to hear "upscale" and "doo-rag" in the same sentence.) My recent meeting with Renegade Classics owner, Debbie Mortimer, confirmed my thoughts on marketing this hat to women riders.
Renegade Classics is a motorcycle retailer sporting everything you need and want from brands like Harley-Davidson, Renegade Classics logo gear, and you name it, Private Plane Originals.
After wearing a helmet, women don't want to sport helmet hair so the best thing to do is top it off with a hat. Now with my original design, the Bad Ass hat, women riders can simply wear the hat with the helmet over it like a traditional doo-rag. I hate to think of my hat as a "rag" but for women riders everywhere, it's one cool, fashionable rag!

To Rhinestone or Not to Rhinestone?

2010-02-22T10:34:00.000-08:00

The reason I am posting this question is because a boutique in Clovis has applied rhinestone appliques to our hats. At first I had mixed feelings because my hat styles are not typical, but I saw a few samples and I kinda like them.

I personally like the classic look, no additional embellishments, however, when I was designing the styles, I thought these hats would make a perfect canvas if anyone wanted to add a personal touch. I really don't mind because whats important to me is what the customer wants and if she feels good wearing it, then go for it!!!

There are a lot of rhinestone designs to choose from like crosses, Fleur De Li's, peace signs, and so on. I snapped this pic so you can see but if you visit Fashion Unlimited in Clovis, you can see more rhinestone designs. Even if rhinestones are the trend right now, the hat will always be classic!

The Birth of Fashion Style Lounge

2010-02-05T09:16:00.001-08:00

I can't take all the credit for the success of Fashion Style Lounge; however I will take credit for the birth of it. It all started when I had the opportunity to preview my hat line in Beverly Hills. The event was Hollywood Style Lounge and you guessed it....celebrities, fashion writers, stylists, models in lingerie, and the best part to me "Spinderella" (remember Spinderella - the mix master from the 80's female rap group Salt n Pepa.) After a day of meeting and greeting and sore feet, I came back home and thought to myself; we definitely need an event like this in Fresno!

Launching your own fashion line is not easy….NOT EASY!!! Talk to any emerging designer who has a great idea for a line but needs help with other areas like money, business, marketing, web design, and so on. This is the case with many designers starting out because designers are very passionate but need help in other areas. I have experienced this first hand.

My idea for FSL was to help other indie designers by networking together and giving them a venue to showcase and sell their product. I have hosted four FSL events and they all took place in a 2200 sq. ft. stylish office space that was transformed into a fashion hot spot after 6pm. You have to see it to believe it. It’s a fashion show without runways. It’s all about passionate designers and the guests who love their designs. Pair that with a glass of champagne, a DJ, a photographer, and beautiful people and that’s Fashion Style Lounge.

The historical Tower District is an alternative to old strip malls and multi-use super centers that are all so common in Fresno. It’s the closest neighborhood scene the resembles a San Francisco feel. You will find a bit of theater, the best Italian sandwiches, Chinese food and Thai food, nightclubs, gay bars, tea shops, smoke shops, taqueria, tattoo shops, boutiques, salons, and a couple of old school restaurants. It’s truly the city’s gem and I love it!!!

The FSL designer community has enable designers to meet each other and share experiences. Some designers are truly break out designers with a new line to test the market. Other designers have establish lines and distribution channels like www.etsy.com, websites, boutiques, and department stores. All the designers are able to share stories about which trade shows and events to attend or which suppliers to check out, etc. It’s not about competition, but collaboration.

This year, I have some great ideas I am going to introduce to take FSL to the next level. In addition, I am exploring opportunities to host Fashion Style Lounge in other cities with the goal to help other up and coming independent fashion and accessory designers. I have also been approached about featuring Fashion Style Lounge Designers at California Market Center. Yep, exciting stuff happening this year. I’ll keep you posted!

Whooga Ugg Boots all the way from the UK

2009-12-02T16:52:00.000-08:00

Check out these great Ugg boots I found. They even come in pink, violet, and grey. Perfect for the snow or just keeping warm....you can even win a pair. Check 'em out!

You've found the world’s most comfortable boots. The thicker merino sheepskin used in our ugg boots cools your toes in summer and warms in winter to produce a supremely comfortable 22 degree constant temperature. Unlike other footwear, ugg boots are made from a natural insulator. Constantly circulating air prevents heat exchange keeping you comfortable regardless of the temperature. With thicker sheepskin we offer greater insulation, comfort and strength.

New Look for PPO Website

2009-11-23T10:47:00.001-08:00

Right now we are working on the new PPO website and here is just a little taste of what's to come this December.

I love simplicity and style and this new look is clean, not cluttered. The home page features the Bad Ass hat available mid December...$50 includes hat and dust bag in black satin love...check back for availability on the Bad Ass hat or email me directly and reserve one before they go public.

Private Plane Photoshoot A Hit!!

2009-11-06T22:22:00.000-08:00

Today we spent the day in sunny California shooting the new hat for Private Plane Originals Couture Hat Collection. The photos are going to blow you away.

2009-01-28T14:16:00.000-08:00

I really enjoyed myself at this Fashion Style Lounge because I was sick at the last one...this time around we had a lot of guys and gals, great music, some wine, new designers and beauty gurus.

We had alot of new people on the scene as well as those who had attended the first event. This is still a new event in the area and is growing with popularity. We are going to have another Fashion Style Lounge ~ Men's Edition this Spring so I will keep you posted on the details.

Fashion Style Lounge comes to Fresno, California

2008-10-23T19:17:00.000-07:00

Fresno, CA – Shopping, wine, hors d'oeuvres, music, photographers…. That is just a glimpse inside what will be going on at the Fashion Style Lounge in the Tower presented by Private Plane Originals on Thursday night, November 13th, 2008 from 6pm to 10pm. This exclusive event takes place at the offices of EKO Marketing & Design / PC Solutions, next to
Vini Vedi Vici Restaurant.

Not a fashion show, not a trade show, but a social gathering in which local fashion designers and beauty gurus can get together, showcase their work, and enjoy a glass of wine. Hosted by Nicole Giordano, local personality, the Fashion Style Lounge will feature exclusive products and services that are not found in main street retailers.

After being asked to participate at the Hollywood Style Lounge in Beverly Hills, Private Plane Originals’ hat designer, Falina Marihart, decided that Fresno needed to have its own style lounge, “Fashion Style Lounge in the Tower.” Fresno may not be L.A.; however you can see the latest in fashion and accessory designs from indie designers. She wanted a private party that included only the hottest, most fashionable and influential people in attendance.

The list of designers is extremely exclusive and begins with Private Plane Originals, a new designer line of women’s hats perfect for club wear and making any outfit sexy trendy. Pink Label Corsets, an independent designer out of Michigan, will display custom made corsets and other fashionable custom attire. Divinity Boutique from Hanford will feature A-list designers, like Lexy Charms and Yvette Mandell.

ShangLee East & West Collaboration introduces Eastern fashion designs into Western markets. Simdog Apparel will embody the high-end tees and tanks segment with sales benefiting the Jeffrey Simonian Memorial Scholarship Foundation at Clovis High School. Nichole Angelina Grazioli, International Apparel Design, uses fine, retro-vintage and new
fabrics to showcase a form of wearable, modern art.

Fashion is not complete without accessories. Accessory lines will include Buckles by Nicco Gio. These buckles are hand-made, each one like no other, and decorated with various vintage items to give each buckle a unique theme and name and retail for $90 each. Dalita Moda will showcase handmade accessories that fit any girl’s style, whether girly or punk. The bracelets and accessories are designed using the finest crystals and no two are exactly alike. Make Pie Not War will also attend featuring handmade jewelry, but with a focus on vintage style. Make Pie Not War designs necklaces and earrings and creates custom pieces.

Additional participants at Fashion Style Lounge in the Tower include Suzi Q Cosmetics. Suzi Picaso, founder and CEO, will be showcasing new products like Stunners eye dust and talk about her recent events in Hollywood; Pre-Emmy parties and upcoming 2008 Star Music Awards and the 2008 American Music Awards. Hair by Yo - Yahira Chacon, will also feature the latest in hairstyle fashions creating on the spot and making guest look great. Cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Yoho will feature his new skincare line, Skincare by Dr. Yoho and each guest will received a copy
of his booklet, “A New Body in One Day.” Published author, Anna Shonk will be featuring her book “The Almond Man.” Chews 4 Health, a new, natural and chewable dietary supplement will also be featured.

Local artist, Stephanie Pearl contemporary art collection will be on display and DJ Johnny Q (J Catch) will be mixing the music to set the tone of the event. We are keeping all invited participants to the very upper echelon of unique products and services.

Not only are the vendors exclusive, the guests are exclusive. You must
receive a personal invitation to enter the Fashion Style Lounge. It’s
all about who you know: the designer, the DJ, or Suzi Q herself, but no matter what, only guests with their names on the list will be allowed to experience Fashion Style Lounge in the Tower. Guests will be escorted inside and introduced to the various designers. Guests will have the opportunity to buy some of newest and hottest fashion items while socializing and enjoying music and wine. Guests will also have back door access to Vini Vedi Vici’s patio so they can relax outside if they wish.

Do you want to be a guest at Fashion Style Lounge in the Tower? For more information call 559-487-1091, ask for Falina.

Fashion Style Lounge in the Tower

2008-10-03T19:39:00.000-07:00

So I got a wild hair up my butt to have my own party after going to Beverly Hills....Fashion Style Lounge in the Tower presented by Private Plane Originals, will take place on Thursday, Nov. 13th starting at 4pm. We will feature indie designers and beauty gurus, serve wine, music and meet new people. RSVP early because we will be checking names at the door. You have to be on the list because it's not open to the general public, you have to get the invite and RSVP.

So far Shanglee Fashion, Suzi Q Cosmetics, Dr. Yoho Skin Care, Hair by Yo, an art exhibit by Stephanie Pearl, Pink Label Corsets, published author Anna Shonk and more to come.

We have really cool parties at our office I guess because we are located in a really cool spot next to Vini Vedi Vici, a popular restaurant and bar in the Tower District. At night, this alternative, wanna be San Fran, morphs into a cool area that you can walk around the streets and hop from venue to venue. Fresno is like a sampling platter, i guess!!!

New Hat Collection Debut – Success in Los Angeles!!

CALIFORNIA - September 23, 2008: Private Plane Originals new diva hat collection made its debut at the HOLLYWOOD STYLE LOUNGE in Beverly Hills on Thursday, September 18th. The first of six designer hats from Private Plane Originals’ premium hat line is now available. Stylist, fashion editors, and celebs were WOWed at the collection that was created just this year.

Innovator and fashion designer, Falina Marihart, introduced her hat line to make a statement. The chic and ultra hip hats were created as a perfect accessory to add to any outfit – day or night. The sleek, black satin fabric can finish the look created for the clubs, or to dress up that hip tee and favorite pair of jeans. Each hat has its own personality, inspired by classic looks, biker enthusiast, and favorite weekend wear.

With gradual release of new hats throughout the year, Private Plane Originals will feature their classic and edgy styles in more colors and fabrics. Trendsetters, celebs and the like will be the first to grab the new line that is made in America, yet doesn’t break the budget retailing for $59 to $109 per hat. In addition each hat comes with its own black satin draw string bag for travel and safe keeping.

Suzi Picaso, CEO and founder of Suzi Q Cosmetics, has already paired her favorite hat with her bold makeup line when she participated in the First Annual Univision "Tecate Premios Deportes" Awards Celebrating Hispanic Athletic Accomplishments in Los Angeles this summer.
The hat line also captured the attention of fashion designer, Tuley of Pink Label Corsets, in Michigan. The hats will be available later this year and match Pink Label Corsets custom fashion lineup.

Video production, photo shoots, and websites have already been produced to promote the new line. In addition, retailers and boutiques that carry Private Plane Originals will benefit from the company’s in-house marketing and design team for advertising support.
So – Private Plane Originals asks – will you be the lucky one to carry this fall’s hottest new accessory or will you be the first one noticed in the crowd? Private Plane Originals says “YES!” For more information on local representation call 800-981-0622. Check out http://www.privateplaneoriginals.com/ or www.myspace.com/privateplane.
