Wolky

Wolky's history goes back to the early 80s. Already back then the Diks shoe stores sold a fair amount of comfort shoes. However, at the time these shoes were hardly fashionable. This prompted the company's founder, Kees Diks to develop a sandals line himself. After the introduction of the Wolky Nature line, the Wolky City line followed in 1989 with its fashionable and colorful sandals with a revolutionary insole consisting of cork and memory foam. After this success, Wolky introduced several shoe lines with removable insoles.

Caron Miller

"Go with what you've got and show it off." Caron's creations are designed to embellish your basics (big, small - bodacious, or itty bitty). "Wearable art" is the way she describes all this craziness. "It's like painting with fabric."

Caron was born in Canada and started designing at an early age. Recognizing her innate talent for fashion and the visual arts, her father bought her first Singer sewing machine as a birthday present at the age of ten.  

Each of Caron's fabric buying trips begins with the donning of the right stones: Labradorite for creativity and vision to be exact. She peruses the LA fabric district in search of inspiration. Every fabric has its own story (sometimes even their own names!) in Caron's world. Traveling back up Highway 1 to her Santa Barbara "uncorporate hut-quarters", she's already begun designing in her mind's eye. And in the tranquility of the Zen garden outside her office she begins to fold them, pin them, and cut them into something that will make women their most "beautimous" (Caron's vocabulary for fabulous, gorgeous, and divinely beautiful).

G9C Fashion : www.g9cfashion.com

G9C Fashion was founded by Gianna Benedek and Carlos Hausner as a continuation of our personal involvement in Peruvian handcrafts and women’s groups. This started with a USAID project in which we worked helping small companies and groups in Peru improve and sell their products in the US. We all wanted to continue, so here is G9C.

Gianna was born in Cusco, Peru, and is a BFA of Fashion Institute of Technology. She is the natural liaison between original textile traditions and current US fashion trends.  Carlos has owned United Knitwear sweater company for many years. We have the structure and loyal customers we expect to serve at G9C.  Our collection is handcrafted in the highlands of Peru of natural yarns, hand-dyed employing unique design techniques so that each piece is one-of-a-kind, wearable art.  Scarves, hats, sweaters, are our knitted, woven, or hand felted pieces of art.

Giselle Shepatin

"I want each piece in my collection to have a spontaneous and fresh look, and the flower embellishments to look as if they are still growing."

Calling her look American Whimsy, Giselle Shepatin loves designing clothing that combines unique textiles and yarns from around the world with her own handmade textiles and embellishments.

Shepatin often incorporates yarn and fabric from past collections into the current year's art clothing. She reinterprets, reassembles, and cultivates her resources to create clothing that makes the wearer feel the spontaneous energy through the cloth.

Customers have occasionally said that they have seen Shepatin's clothing in their dreams. They thought it was a fantasy, and were so excited to see that their dreams had become a waking reality.

Mitchie’s Matchings

Mitchie’s Matchings was founded in 1978, by owner Mitch Fazekas.   Originally the Company specialized in “fur matching”, when the furriers needed to match a skin for repairs or remodeling a coat “Mitchie’s Matchings” was the one stop shop.
Fazekas dreamed larger, he was to be one of the first to create a complete line of genuine fur fashion accessories for women.  Mitch understands the many concepts and techniques that can be applied to fur and realized that fur has two folds.   Primarily it is known for its comfort and warmth.  Add luxury, glamour and trendy styling and thus “Mitchie’s Matchings” would be re-defined.  Fur accessories for both young active women as well as sophisticated luxury for fashion trend setters.

Nancy Clark

Nancy Clark, a native Missourian, is a self-taught weaver who started weaving tapestries in 1971 while living on a Greek island. Back in the States two years later, she took a beginning weaving course utilizing a loom, and hasn't picked tapestry since. Rhythms of the loom, the sounds of the harnesses, shuttles, and beater, the feel of various yarns, the intense satisfaction during and after completion of a piece of cloth - all combine to provide the reasons she continues to weave at her ten looms. Knowing that someone will eventually wear the cloth she creates, or walk across a rug she has woven, makes the weaving process even more enjoyable.
