We swung into the tents at the 2010
New York Fashion Week. We didn't have tickets to any particular
runway shows, but from what we could tell, runway shows were cool- but the tent was where it's at - and I'm not just talking about the open bar. The Tents offered a great chance to meet new + experienced designers and many others in the industry. We brought along some
fins to see what the most particular fashion community in the world thought of the Holstee Fin... and I'm proud to report- it was well received. Check out our recently posted album on
facebook to see some of the pictures.

Fashion Consultant, HOLSTEE
So how did you find out about Holstee?
I found out about Holstee at the tents of Bryant Park during Spring Fashion Week 09. I was waiting online with the designer I intern for, when Dave stood behind me with a friend, Niamh and I said "Nice Shirt". Dave started telling me about the purpose of Holstee and the good cause it stood for. We exchanged e-mails and a couple of weeks later met up for coffee. After finding out more information about Holstee I knew that I wanted to contribute in any way I could.
What do you love about Holstee?
I love many things about Holstee, first I love that the 100% of the proceeds go to help entrepreneurs in developing countries. With this help many families will be able to accomplish their dreams. Secondly I love that Holstee is made of recycled materials that look great and are very comfortable. Last, I love that Holstee allows for contributors such as myself to be a part of this great company.
As part of the team at Holstee, how have you contributed?
I have contributed to Holstee with creative ideas in the fashion aspects such as the new colors, prints, and fabrics that will be popular. I also try to look at new products that Holstee can venture into in the future, along with Dave, I am working on an new product that will really shake things up, we call it 'The Fin'.
What is you favorite pocket style?
My favorite pocket style right now is the party pocket, however I am going to get the brunch pocket next!
