Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all    
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
” – John Keats

Our debut at New York Fashion Week, or #birdmachine as we called it, was about many things… about bringing fashion to sport, bringing muscles to fashion, about previewing Oiselle’s latest and greatest, and getting to visit the city that has inspired me since childhood.

But in my heart of hearts, it was much simpler. It was about having the opportunity to speak our truth, to tell our design story…and to watch it come to life via the woman I still can’t believe I get to call my homegirls.

NYFW…in truth and beauty…

Truth is an overstuffed carry-on bag that HAS to be a carry-on bag because no self-respecting designer “checks her line.”

Truth is nerves and unknowns.

And beauty is the magic between dream and reality:
