Fashion and Art
This bright bold and beautiful line of dichroic glass jewelry includes pendants, fan necklaces, earring, rings and bracelets. Each piece is a unique work of wearable art that is handcrafted by Nancy Giere at her studio in Williamsburg VA. She uses multiple layers of glass to create jewelry that has tremendous depth and substance yet they are surprisingly light weight and easy to wear. Each piece is inspired by colors, shapes and patterns observed in her back yard and in her travels throughout the world. Different sizes and shapes of glass are stacked in unique designs and fired in a kiln. During the fusing process the glass comes alive and takes on a whole new character. After the first firing each piece is cold worked and fire polished in the kiln multiple times until she is satisfied with the overall design and quality.

The development of our clothing, however, starts from the ground up-literally. From the very beginning, Indigenous has been an all natural fiber company utilizing wool, alpaca, silk, Tencel, organic cotton and other fibers created by nature. Our organic cotton is certified by Skal. Conventional cotton is one of the most pesticide-dependent crops, making the growing and harvesting of this fiber harmful to the water table and local communities. Our wool and alpaca fibers are also raised in a natural manner. We were the first clothing company to blend organic cotton with Tencel, a breakthrough fiber made of sustainably harvested tree pulp. With all our fiber blends, we take great care in procuring the materials into knittable yarns as close to the cooperatives as possible so that we can further benefit these local communities.
In many cases, Indigenous utilizes the natural colors of organic cotton and fleece, eliminating the need for dyes to achieve complex color schemes within our fashion collections. Indigenous also develops low impact dyes which contain no heavy metals and are Azo - dioxazine compound free. Indigenous ensures a qualified system for waste water filtration. Again, these choices are in alignment with our sustainability goals and are designed to best serve the local communities that participate in the creation of our clothing.
Revitalash was created to enhance the beauty of natural eyelashes so they appear longer, thicker, fuller, and darker even without makeup.
It all began because a husband wanted to give his wife a very special gift Revitalash was developed by Dr. Michael Brinkenhoff as a special gift for his wife, Gayle, while she was recovering from breast cancer. Intensive chemotherapy treatments had damaged Gayle's once-beautiful eyelashes, leaving them sparse, breakable and fragile.
After extensive research with a team of talented cosmetic chemists, Dr. Brinkenhoff formulated an eyelash conditioner that, after just a few weeks, gave a renewed look of vitality to Gayle's eyelashes.
Revitalash contains a blend of functional cosmetic ingredients including prostaglandin analogue. Only use once daily before bedtime with a thin line to the base of the eyelashes same way you would apply your eyeliner. Once the results are achieved, apply two to three times a week for maintenance.
Revitalash introduces the newest addition "Hair by Revitalash" and "Mascara by Revitalash". Hair by Revitalash for men and woman is a unique hair conditioner that fortifies and strengthens hair so it appears thicker, fuller and more attractive. Easy to use foam that is massaged daily in areas where you want the hair to appear thicker and fuller. Some of the ingredients include Ginko Biloba, Ginseng Root, Japonica, Fruit Extracts and Wheat Proteins.
Mascara by Revitalash a high-performance, clump-free formula delivers thicker, fuller and more luscious eyelashes than ever. A custom designed brush, seperated and defines the lashes for an eye-poping finish.
RevitaLash is not tested on Animals. Production of RevitaLash is "cruelty-free."

_____________________________________________________The models floated confidently through the doors of Morgane Le Fay's newest retail location at the Malibu Country Mart and onto the lovely green lawn where editors, stylists, photographers and customers eagerly awaited the presentation of Spring 2010 this past Saturday, October 17. The collection is designed by Liliana Casabal who is currently designing costumes for the New York City Ballet under the direction of Peter Martins for Naïve and Sentimental Music by John Adams set to open at the Metropolitan Opera on November 24th.
The fashion show was inspired by an ancient Welsh myth of fairy queen Rhiannon who defied her family and gave up her divinity to marry a mortal prince for love. That inspiration was delivered in a variety of silk chiffons, organza, wool gauze, Japanese lace, organic cotton jersey and Italian stretch cotton and raincoat nylon. The colors of deep Algae, light Willow, Magenta and gentle Blossom mixed with Ivory, Black and Midnight created the designer's modern interpretation of the ancient spirit.
Stand outs were the Hummingbird dress of black, cut out four-ply silk worn over a silk slip, Angeles, a black double georgette dress with bare shoulder sleeves that can be worn multiple ways and Epona, an organza gown with an abstract applique of a horse.
Japanese lace in white formed a billowy top worn over a dress in cotton knit with multiple skirt layers and the Aquarius, a dress with knit bodice and chiffon skirt with cardigan in blossom and white.
