Thanks to Tendencias Tv, a fashion and trend research website, for coming to Changing Room to interview me! Megan Huntz Dresses was one of four brands out of twenty-five selected for this story! Very cool. I was lucky to have my BFF, Ansley Garner, at my side to play translator for the interview. She looks pretty cute in a mini dress, too! To see the video, go to: www.tendencias.tv

But I hope you understand Espanol… there’s no English version. But hey, I guess that’s part of being in the international jet set…

Tah, my lovelies.

Yesterday I was one of 25 designers who participated in Changing Room, an all day shopping event in the Chic&Basic Hotel in Barcelona. I had a small yet luminous bedroom with two sets of French doors leading out onto a courtyard. Very contemporary with classic touches from the past - a perfect backdrop for my colorful dresses. Mine was by far the most fun room, and now I have firmly established my reputation as the crazy American girl who makes party dresses. Besides selling quite a bit, I was also interviewed and had fashion journalists in and out all day taking pictures and asking questions. It was a super fun way to be officially presented on the design scene in Barcelona. Thanks to everyone who came out! Much more to come…

& Basic.

Changing Room is held for one day only, Saturday June 14, at the Chic&Basic hotel located in the heart of Barcelona, in the Born. 25 designers take over a room each and open to the public for a shopping extravaganza of the coolest, most cutting edge young designers in Barcelona. Megan Huntz Dresses will be selling one-offs in some special fabrics available only at this event. So come and get it!

Chic&Basic Hotel in the Born, in the heart of Barcelona, is a boutique hotel that opens up all of its rooms for 25 designers for this one day sale. Come and get it! This tee is the first in a 2 part series. Part 2 will be available with the rest of the PROCESS line in the Spring of 2009 at select boutiques in the States.

If you want to know more about me, just go to this link (http://nuvanyniceblogtique.blogspot.com/) and read the interview that I did for Nuvany Ni’ce. I can’t tell you how to pronounce the name, but the girl running things is called Ebony, and she’s a fierce fashionista looking for the next hot thing. Thanks for thinking I’m it!

 Strictly rolling… V.I.P.

Megan Huntz Dresses has been selected for Gen Art’s Fresh Faces in Fashion, fashion show in Miami on March 22nd, which features 9 top emerging designers from New York, Miami and Atlanta. The annual affair draws over 1,000 guests, filled with press and buyers, and the runway will be staged at a Gansevoort South Hotel and Spa in South Beach outside over a pool overlooking the ocean. This event has been a successful launch pad for Zac Posen and Rebecca Taylor, among others. Cool, huh?

Special thanks to Laura Green for encouraging me to enter!

Zsu Zsa, a boutique that has become a classic staple of the super chic girls of Barcelona for over a decade, designs and sells its own label together with the collections of other young, up-and-coming designers, now including Megan Huntz Dresses! All of the brands sold in this small yet lovely shop, found in the Born neighbor of Barcelona’s historic center, share an ultra-feminine, retro glamour.

Carrer Calders, 11
Barcelona

Since I’m starting to make my first sales, I’ve documented the internal labeling so you can all take part in how special these garments are… This is a handmade product, all the way down to the labels- they are actually like little envelopes, creating a secret hiding spot-you never know when that’s going to come in handy! I used a transfer process to get the writing onto the labels, and as you can see in the picture, the size of the dress is circled as well as the number of the dress out of the total quantity made in each style. This style happens to be called Sara (each style has a name of a dear friend of mine). All of the dresses are made with a lot of care and attention to detail, but there’s nothing like being number 1!
