merry christmas everyone! thank you all for believing and supporting hansel from basel. designing and producing this line is such a labor of love and i am so grateful to have people appreciate it. before the tear gates open, here are a few updates:

1. slow and steady pop up shop in paris.

my darling friend is the visionary behind this amazing line and she invited hansel from basel to have some fun goods at the store. it closes on 12/24 so i hope someone was able to see it!

2. enjoy this fun clip of butters the maltese...trying to do some tricks.

my niece, abigail is super into monsters. the "nice" kind and she likes to draw them with cute jagged teeth and different colors. here are a few of her chalk sketches. in one of the scenes, a tropical monster is saving the construction workers from a dangerous lion. did i mention she wants to be a construction worker when she grows up? such aspirations!

tinker street is a picture agency that represents photographers and video artists. they also happen to be some of our favorite and closest friends. some time during the summer, peter stayed in los angeles with us. you can find little corners of our studio in his project for stussy. i thought it was funny.

in between arranging production and designing, i found this cute thing to share!

2009-11-12T15:09:00.000-08:00

i should be designing this weekend but how can i resist going to see wes anderson's "the fantastic mr. fox"?! in addition to this delightful treat, i will be meeting up with lovely gia who customized a beautiful vintage watch with a crystal prism on top for me.

sorry for the delayed posts. we are just settling in from a month long excursion to france, italy, and new york. paris was so much fun. imagine a group of fun loving designers forced to sit in a parisian showroom eating croissants and cheese day in and day out. painful, right?

a loving shout out to our dear friends, alexandra cassaniti and slow and steady wins the race!

hansel from basel has never done a tradeshow before and we decided to test the waters with D&A in NYC. so far so great! there's been a lot of traffic and it's really exciting to see this side of the business in action. thanks press office for manning and putting together the booth!

here's a little picture of our booth and nicole, our sales rep sporting a pair of the super cute grey triangle tights that are a part of the SS10 line up.

sheila is our darling intern and she came across some images of unique and interesting people wearing hansel from basel goods. (YAY!) just goes to show how simple accessories with the right amount of quirk can add magic to anyone's outfit. although, cory kennedy and julia frakes have magic style all on their own.

cory kennedy in our solid kneepad in black/white.

julia frakes wearing solid kneepad oatmeal/almond otk's!

sorry for the long pause...

we just received a crazy load of our first shipment and it's been an intense work week.

in any case, some moments from our trip to japan!

what, that's more than a foot difference? (notice the cleanliness)

my friend jeanetta knew hansel from basel from the get go.

after a long day of sock research. nicholas haggard.

deer feet in beautiful prefecture of nara.

plants everywhere!

i should have more sock stories and pictures but that's top secret right now! hush hush!
