Soft, sweet and delicate, Alisha Trimble shined with a collection of girlie wearables perfect for a weekend romp by the poolside.

BBC was at the office shooting some video for the Brooklyn Bridge show on Tuesday, and their full video coverage hit the web today. Check out the link below for some hot video of our models stomping the bridge, as well as some interview with models and designers. Not quite the same experience as being there, but that’s your own dumb fault for not coming!

Check out the vid here!

Thanks BBC for everything the video totally rules!

This just in…

Aggy Deyn was spotted buying a handmade owl frock by New York Couture (kind of like the one showcased on the Brooklyn Bridge last night) at the Dressing Room Boutique & Bar (one of our fave boutiques, shout out to designer Alisha Trimble for reping the spot hard) on the Lower East Side.

And since we are hosting the humongous New York Couture show next Wed at Mansion (mark your calendars) maybe Aggy the Great will make an appearance. Guess you’ll have to be there to find out.

Thank NY Post

Alisha Trimble presents her Spring-Summer 09 collection, “Love Forever” at her residency, Catherine Slip Studios. Ms Trimble has collected her inspiration for this collection from vangard performance artists Karen Finley and Yayoi Kusama, exploring love and intimacy in her private life, thereby creating a story where menswear inhabits women’s wear in a personal and unique way.

It seems that some of our favorite indies remain ahead of the trend. Alisha Trimble has some photos of a collaboration she worked on with visual artist Meryl Theo Press back in July of 20o7.  The looks pictured below are very reminiscent of some Dolce & Gabanna looks that hit the runways in September of 2007.  Can some one call the Fashionista.com chicks, I think we’ve got an Adventure in Trademark?

Okay, maybe not so much, but I do love how what’s deemed fashionable now was theoretically available months ago by young designers. You got to love indies abilities to be ahead of the trend

Alisha Trimble knocked our sockies off during the Fall / Winter 2008 shows, but it wasn’t until today that we got video we can share. Check out this up and coming designer fresh out of the down and dirty streets of NYC.  She makes some killer dresses that are a will make every night out at the club feel like prom night. You can find her indie goodness at The Dressing Room – 75a Orchard Street between Broome & Grand Streets.
