Day After the Dead

Dearest Friperie fans,

How I've missed this. Hopefully absence has made your heart grow fonder since our last summer collection, which I might add was another remarkable success! Thank you so much for all the people who make our vision and dreams a reality, from my favourite photographer friends who take the time to shoot and edit, to the people who promote, support and get the word out about Friperie relentlessly and most of the time without being asked to of course the lifeblood of my little baby, our regular and new customers that purchase and show interest every single season since we've started. I appreciate and adore you all. Thank you for helping me in this training ground of what may or may not be the start of bigger dreams being effectuated into flesh. Anyway enough of the sap, what I really wanted to let you guys in on is that we're back and better than ever for our Autumn 2012 collection. It's been awhile but this season we've collated and saved some amazing (some even brand new) pieces for you to parade this Autumn. Think party dresses and statement pieces coupled with glimpses of winter (jackets, stockings, layers). There is also a reason for why the title of this notice is called "Day After the Dead" beyond the fact that I've been overdosing on zombie movies or anything equally morbid haha. This season's collection is entitled "My Sugar Skull Sweetheart" and will feature glimpses of the infamous Day of the Dead festival celebrated in good ol' Me-he-ko. I won't give too much away but that should explain why I'm looking scarier than usual in the photos. We will be releasing "My Sugar Skull Sweetheart"on the 30th April 2012 (Time TBA on our facebook page), so please spread the word and ingrain this in your memory. Last announcement is that we will be releasing two sets of the collection photos- those one the website will be in black and white (for artistic purposes) so if you're curious about the real colour of any garment please pop on over to our facebook page or email/facebook private message/tweet us with your queries.

I shan't take any more of your time so hopefully we'll see you browsing and buying on the 30th April! Big love, hugs and most of all thanks!
