Behind Issue 003: Designer to Watch

This month we are featuring designer Heike Jarick's colorful, elegant clothing in the magazine.  When we visited Heike's studio in NYC, she excitedly dressed our Fashion and Art Editor, Sasha Sullivan, to the nines.  
We had such a great time on the shoot with Heike and her interns that we thought we would share some extras and behind the scenes shots of this designer that you should definitely keep an eye on..

Issue 003: Hint hint….

While walking home on a balmy (hah) night this week in NYC, I literally dropped my phone when I saw the new Bloomingdale's windows.  They are completely on target with the theme of our Jan/Feb Issue (going LIVE MONDAY!), that I just had to take some photos to share and see if our readers could guess our direction for Issue 003.  And, honestly, after sadly seeing the 5th Ave windows taken down here in NY after New Year's, I was so happy to see such inspired, yet simple windows all over the city so soon after.  While the holidays may be over, it feels like creativity is blooming….

- Happy window shopping!  Co-founder Meghan Beierle-O'Brien

So, any guesses for Issue 003's theme??
