Preparations for Spring 2010

We here at HQ have been ramping up for a market POUNCE for January of 2010. It's time to start approaching local boutiques and shops in an effort to bring American Duchess to the bricks-and-mortar world of retail.

This means catalogs, line sheets, pretty presentation folders, business cards, and new t-shirts! We will be releasing 3 new designs to flesh out the graphic tee line, and we will also be offering our two most popular designs - "Foxy Lady" and "Let's Go Fly A Bike" - on hoodies! We liked these sweet, non-bulky, girly ones:

Samples for the new tees have been ordered, and we will be doing a photoshoot in the next month or so - something fun, earthy, and conceptual this time, to show off our girls, clothes, and lifestyle. If you are in the Reno/Sparks/Tahoe area and would like to model for American Duchess, please e-mail Lauren at AmericanDuchess@gmail.com

What else is in the works? We're thinking of offering a GREEN line, a series of organic tees for our earth-loving girls. These tees will feature exclusive designs.

OK, that's all for now! Be sure to FOLLOW this blog, join the Facebook Fan Club, and check out the official AmericanDuchessApparel.com website.

American Duchess Photography by Chris Stowell

Are you mad at me for not posting? Apologies! We've been working on good photography and web design over here at headquarters. Lucky for ADA, I've had the pleasure of working with a seriously awesome photographer, Chris Stowell, who gave me some great shots of the shirts on *real* girl models. Here's a preview before they go on the website:

News and One Happy American Duchess Fan

You may all be wondering what has happened to this little American Duchess brand. Nothing has been posted in weeks, no news, no dress sketches, nothing!

To explain, Headquarters has undergone a relocation from California to Nevada, so we have had to come to a screeching halt in terms of web development, photography, and promotion, while the office gets packed up and driven across state lines.

Lucky for us, we've located an outstanding photographer in our new home city, and a shoot is scheduled for next Monday, to finally acquire the professional photos we've been so in need of. With these photos, the website can be completed, and the AmDuch marketing engine can once again gear up for Total World Domination.

Speaking of the World, here is one very happy American Duchess customer who participated in the pre-sale, and has been very supportive from the get-go. This is Story Quine, the fantastic writer and folklorist of the blog "The Other Scottish Storyteller." She is wearing ADA's "Foxy Lady" tee, which traveled all the way to Aberdeen, Scotland!

More news is forthcoming, including a sweet little bio on our awesome new photographer, another world-traveller, Chris Stowell, from the U.K. Look for it!

We'd love to see more happy customers in their ADA shirts! Leave links to your photos in the COMMENTS section, or e-mail them to americanduchess@gmail.com !
