Sinners & Saynt : Paris Becomes Him

Hey Indies,

It’s been a while since a Sinners & Saynt, mainly cause I’ve thoroughly enjoyed writing Stuff Fashion People Like and the direct letters on my life as Fashion Indie president have seen less interesting.  That’s not to say a lot hasn’t been happening, though.  Numero uno, I’m in Paris!!!  This city is absolutely amazing and stunningly beautiful.  Everything about it screams romance and luxury.  The Parisians are extremely friendly, are wonderfully dressed, and spend about 90% of their days lounging around and smoking cigarettes. I’m in love.

The city is massive but in two days I’ve seen the Louvre, been to the top of the eifel tower and got ENGAGED!!!

I know, big shock there!!! (Mom, if you’re reading this I figured this would probably be the best way for you to find out.)

Okay, for all you old schoolers who feel the man is supposed to pop the question, let me assure you that I was once one of you, believing that it should be me who asks the big question.  That was until I saw the ring. Rebecca popped the question.  She got me to the top of the tower at night, the city of lights  below us and just popped out a box with the most spectacular brushed platinum ring with a massive rock in the middle (diamonds are a boys best friend, too).

So, now I’m addicted to staring at the ring (It’s so shiny) and I’m looking forward to the life ahead with the woman I love.

In indie news, we’ve been hitting some major milestones. This month our traffic looks like it will be well above 200,000 visitors.  We’re are getting ready to head into retail this Spring. (still looking for designers to work with). And next week is our first Secret Runway show.  The designer is burlesque/swimwear designer Sheila Frank.  If you’re on our mailing list, be ready to receive an email soon with details.

In addition, the investment road is looking good. We make pretty good cake here at Fashion Indie, but we know we can do a lot more if we have the financial backing to take us to the next level. Most companies don’t talk about the finance stuff, I know, but when we’re profiled in Entrepreneur or Fortune, it would be nice to have some text to look back on for reference to what it was all like in the beginning.

That’s all for now. Looking forward to seeing some of you next week at Secret Runway.

Thanks for all your love indies,

Daniel Saynt
President
