Trendy Mondays-Because Mondays no longer need to be boring!
Thursday, February 7, 2013
Trendy Mondays. Is there such a thing? Yes. It comes in the form of an e-commerce site dedicated to bringing American consumers original, independent European fashion labels. Trendy Mondays offers a little something for everyone: from a brand who produces their own bags made of sustainable materials, to a designer who curated a collection using crystal fragments. Stuff for men? Check. Kids? Check. Women? Of course. See. I told you. Something for EVERYONE.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bego, one of the co-founders of the site, at a fashion social, and after speaking to her quite briefly, I was able to surmise that she's truly passionate about this new entrepreneurial endeavor. Having come to this country from Spain, she was often approached by people in San Francisco inquiring about items that she was wearing. She, along with her partners, Monica and Isolina, conceived of the idea to bring these one-of-a-kind finds to the consumer marketplace. Not only do they showcase these truly talented independent Spanish designers, but they assure their customers that each item sold is made with extreme environmental consciousness.
I spoke with Bego about the conception of Trendy Mondays, her favorite fashion labels, and how they select which designers and artists they want to feature. So check out our Q&A...I dare ya!
