Nolcha Fashion Week
Last
week, G2 Organics had the pleasure of attending Nolcha Fashion week. This event
is dedicated to independent fashion designers and allows them to showcase their
collections to an audience of press, retailers, stylists and industry
influencers.
One of their popular events, the
Fashion Brunch hosted by RUSK, took place at Yotel on the Upper West side of
Manhattan. Simply walking up to the hotel was an experience on its own. The
exterior design features a modern honey-combed pattern appearance, and is illuminated
by a purple glow.
The event
featured over fifteen different retailers, but it felt very intimate being that
each vendor had their own room designated as their space. In the center of the
venue, hair stylists were offering free blow-outs, styling and even make-up
application. After some pampering, one can take a walk over to the Hydration by Nature vendor which
features all natural, no sugar added, no preservatives coconut water. Out of
their six featured flavors G2 Organics had our hearts set on the Pineapple and
Mango Coconut Water.
Other
retailers who attended the event included Lilly Lorraine Inc., Restore NYC,
Manufacture NY, Michelle Pajak-Reynolds and CAT Footwear.
Lilly
Lorraine Inc., based out of Austin, Texas, was started by Christi du Mesnil
Craven who’s main philosophy for the brand is to give women a full-wardrobe that offers a
collective versatility to a women's lifestyle. Our goal is to engage in the
woman's emotion, femininity and confidence. Christi does just that by featuring
exclusively designed textiles such as an exclusive bamboo textile, which is
currently patent pending.

G2 Organics
had the pleasure of talking with Amy Delson, owner and designer of Amy Delson
Jewelry. We learned how she came about starting her jewelry line and her
true inspirations. Amy Delson would come about unique pieces of jewelry in
different antique shops and would create her own pieces. She recalls getting
stopped in public many times by people asking about her jewelry and where they
could buy it. After all the positive feedback from the public, Amy decided to
pursue her own business. Amy mentioned the energy and inspiration that she
gathers through nature, and shared with us that often times she will sit in
Central Park and gather new ideas for her pieces by observing the surrounding
nature. Amy also features custom design where one can bring in a meaningful
piece of jewelry, such as an antique family ring, and Amy will create a modern
piece from the antique piece. G2 Organics loved the detailing of the clasps on
each of Amy’s pieces which are engraved with, “Made with Love in NYC.”
Here are some more picture from the fabulous event!
