“All participants are on fame’s cusp: Georgia-girl-turned-Italian-thread-hound Megan Huntz creates hand-stained, raw silk delicacies that flirt and ripple down the female form.”

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a great event!
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!
For this edition of Bread & Butter Barcelona, the city was packed and buzzing as usual, filled with fashionistas. The sample line I presented was well received and is officially now available to buyers, and going to be sold in shops in Barcelona this spring.
Thanks to everyone who came out to see the first view of Megan Huntz Dresses! Also to Joan Bernaus, owner of Dou 16, for collaborating with me and believing in my project. And another big thanks to Epidemik Coalition for making the invitations, look books and hang tags! And an extra special thanks to Jessica Musick, who came all the way from Atlanta to model for me. That girl’s got some killer legs. Shazam!
My workshop is covered with dye and so am I! I just hope I can dig the color out from under my nails for when I have to be professional and talk to people on Wednesday. I’ve been locked in my studio for the last few days, finishing everything before I jump on the plane to Barcelona tomorrow. This is definitely the most fun part of the dress making process; it’s kind of like painting. I’ve created some really nice effects on the silk, which makes the dresses really special. Can’t wait to show them to you all!
Megan Huntz presents the first view of her signature dress line January 16 - 18, 2008 in Barcelona. An 8-piece line of silk party dresses washed and over-dyed, with treatments applied by hand that are made in series, closer to an art project than a fashion collection. A limited number of 140 dresses total will be made. The line will be available to buyers and individual clients for the first time at Dou 16, a new boutique making a big impact for young designers and fashion research in Barcelona: Carrer del Doctor Dou, 16. 12,00 – 20,30. This first view is a preview to a formal presentation that will take place in Paris February 28 – March 2, 2008.
