please try to watch the movie, food inc. each and every one of us should be socially aware and concerned about what we are feeding and buying into. not as sensational as the trailer suggests but it's the darn truth and so so important.

food is a basic necessity and it is tragic that corporate evil and the government would prevent us from getting it in the purest form.

happy belated 4th!

hansel from basel is melting away in ny as we speak. last night, i heard really fantastic music at the woodsist festival in brooklyn. the oh sees ripped it up as the final act! so much fun to watch but standing on rocks for hours made me wish i was wearing a million socks to pad my poor feet.

Another exciting note: Zooey Deschanel was spotted wearing our cable knit knee hi's all around town, when it was still cold. A few months past but still exciting. We will put up pictures soon enough!

Good Grief! Much time has passed and we have had many great things going.

For one, we are about to put up our spring collection online. It's a vibrant collection of soft silk items mixed with mercerized cotton ones. Expect some lovely photos of the collection by photographer, Ye Rin Mok.

Also, check out some pieces in the Feb. 09 issue of Nylon!

Stay tuned for more updates, courtesy of our wonderful web designer, Larissa Dooley.

AW08 designs are all set and now, we are in selling mode. This period is quite stressful but fun all at the same time. Your heart, labor, soul,all of it is put to the test and in the end, it is always worth it. During, and I am still in this process, it's a stomach churning experience. Look at me, it's 1:23 am, I've got a sore throat, dark eye circles, and a new strand of white hair. Fear not, I will have the time to re-coop and plan to pluck that white hair good bye and conceal conceal with my favorite Kanebo concealer pen!

Regardless, Hansel from Basel AW08 is FFFRESH! This is my favorite and strongest collection to date and I hope you will fall in love with it.

It's all about getting luxe in wool/cashmere and pima cotton. Inspired by mountain adventures,cable knits, leather buttons on your grandfather's tweed suit, elbow patches, and rich rustic colors, we hope to add a nostalgic & autumnal sensibility to your fall ensemble.

Thanks everyone for your continuous love and support.

The little write up below is from a Senior Editor of Lucky Magazine, Emily Hsieh. She is very nice and we want to shower her with socks...

"Editor-at-large Gigi Guerra recently turned me onto Creatures of Comfort, a Melrose Street boutique that carries an expertly curated, refreshingly original mix of indie designers like Mary Ping to more widely known labels like Loeffler Randall. I went on to their site to check out their e-shop and discovered they're in the midst of a massive sale. My biggest temptations: Emma Cook's bubble-shaped cropped jacket, a ballerina-ish, sheer black chiffon dress by Alexandre Herchcovitch, and Grey Ant's crisp khaki shorts with braided trim—all more than half off.
Not on mark-down but equally tempting for my east coast-dwelling reality are the thigh-high Hansel From Basel striped socks which are as adorable as they are practical for layering under pants for added warmth."
