Our customer was looking for a label that could be attached to her original artistic creations: it had to convey that “organic” feeling that a printed clothing label couldn’t achieve. Therefore the need for a woven label.
A mirrored design and a center fold increased the “usability” of the label, as it could now be attached into different products and positions and it would always display their brand.
The size was just right for their bold logo, using an organic-looking font and high contrasting colors for to create impact.

After Natya graduated from Parsons School for Design, which is located right on 5th Avenue in NYC; she made a bold statement and designed her first collection in 2013.

Natya Porter believes that “style is a self-expressive language of communication between the individual and society.” She has always had the desire to express her sense of beauty through clothes and with each individual design, she attempts to clarify that language. She experiments with different shapes and fabrications to compliment the female form as is evident in her work.
If you were to ask Natya what inspires her the most when she is designing new pieces, she would tell you that it comes from things she inspires in life and her love of fashion. She has the dream of educating others and becoming a more eco-friendly designer.

3. Labels for Children’s Clothing Line in NYC: Kimimila New York
The Client
Cathy has been sewing most of her life and made the decision that it was time to take her talents to the next level and design clothing for our little ones. Sewing fills a need for Cathy and using sewing as her creative outlet was a natural thing for her to do.
Cathy graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Home Economics with the focus of Textiles and Clothing. She tossed around the idea of making children’s clothing after the passing of her husband, whom had always encouraged her to follow her heart. The label and logo Cathy created has a very special meaning to her as the word ‘Kimimila’ is the Lakotah Sioux word for Butterfly.
Having grown up in Southern Minnesota, the Lakotah territory, she always felt a connection to the Native American culture there. Couple that with her unique experiences surrounding butterflies after she lost her husband, Peter; a perfect fit was founded, and so now we have Kimimila New York.

4. Custom Labels for a New York City Cartoon-Style Designer: Adeen NYC
The Client
ADEEN is a New York City based accessory line from 20 year old lower east side native Rembrandt Duran. Remy is striving toward his dream of building ADEEN into a lifestyle brand using individuality, originality, and knowledge of style. His goal is to bring “fun” back into the world of fashion.
The first release out of ADEEN was Assman. It’s a series of plush pins, boy short underwear and knit caps. The plush pin idea was something Remy had wanted to do for years. The idea came from his childhood collection of Beanie Babies and the dream of one day having his own ‘army’ of plushys. The character of Assman is something Remy created back in 3rd grade along with a series of comics called The Documents. He had wanted to be a cartoonist but later decided that style and fashion were his real passions. Fusing the two things together gave him an opportunity to give life to a character he had loved for years.
