We here at free people are a curious bunch. We share an interest in exploring all aspects of the artistic culture that surrounds us and in the people that create it. This blog is about sharing those discoveries and maybe even inspiring you to do some discovering of your own.

Yayyy!! I’m already in love with this blog.
Keep it moving.
I’m so happy Free People has a blog now! I’ve been wearing the brand since 1994.
This might be a silly question to ask, but how can one become a Free People model?
Hi Sarah! We go to the pros for our models, booking them through agencies in NY mostly. Thanks so much for commenting!
Love the clothes, love the site design and all the design details you’ve always paid such amazingly good attention to. Mentioned your fab new blog over at both NOTCOT.com and NOTCOT.org!!
Your catalog is very well designed, the paper choice is great too.
The blogs so far have been really interesting, and they nicely add to the idea of what Free People is all about. Good job so far!
Wow. Really. Love the DIY-ness and cool chick factor feel of the blog. Adore the behind-the-scenes as well. This is just my speed….
Hey! I loooove free people and am obsessed with my new wool jacket (the officer)- it’s stuplendous (did I just make that word up?), I wear it everyday! I also just wanted to say hello, and introduce you to my indie design blog, Modish, only because I think you might dig it. So, hello! And, http://www.modish.typepad.com Keep up the good blogging action, and I’ll keep up the plentiful purchasing =)

I was just wondering how you are affiliated with Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters? Are the designs teams the same? Or are you owned by the same company? The catalogue addresses are the same. But all three stores have their own look.I like the blog idea and the links.Great idea.
Hi Suzi. All three brands are under Urban Outfitters Inc. We are owned by the same company but operate separately in terms of design. Each company has it’s own designers, display team, merchandisers, etc that work within the aesthetic of that particular brand. Hope I answered your question. Thanks for reading!
wonderful blog for wonderful things and lifestyle! i’d love to place a link to it on my blog – would you mind? thought i’d ask beforehand. good luck with all things. nina
Hi Nina! We would love if you posted a link! There are some beautiful images on your blog. Thanks for reading…
Hey, I just wanted to let you know I used an image and linked back to it. I hope this is okay!
If not, just shoot me an email and I’ll change it as soon as I can.
Thanks for the inspiration and incredible blog!
Love Free People! I wore one of your dresses to the launch party for our book, BarCode: Your Personal Pocket Decoder to the Modern Dating Scene. You can see pics at barcodethebook.com. We’d also love to send you a review copy. How do we go about it?

I love the links to other fashion and art sites. I spent over two hours surfing the net because of this blog. Thanks to Free People, I will be failing all my classes this semester! ;o)

hey i love your clothes! thats why i chose your company for my research project, im a design major and i love your look. i know you go for an artsy urban look but i was wondering how you would describe the “design philosophy”- i know its one of those annoyingly trite terms, sorry! also do you have anywhere i could find more info on how the company started out? wheres the flagsip, target customer etc, thanks so much! please excuse the needy- student behavior

I love the Patched Fairisle Hoodie, but can’t seem to find it. Are there any available in XS?
#65X0991 on page 15 in the Holiday 2006 catalog. Thanks!
Love the catalog, love the clothes, but I think I like the blog the best! Great posts about the falling garden installation and the trapeze style fashion…oh, and the felt cake and the background info on the catalog design! I added a link on my blog. Thanks!
can we still purchase one of the adorable panda bear stuffed animals with the embroidery anywhere?
Hi Mariska,
Sadly we are sold out of the panda bears.
I’d love to use a few of the new fp umbrellas for our “baby doll anime” editorial in our summer ’07 issue. Even though our readers are 12-17 they adore fp clothes. Check out the website: http://www.bleechmagazine.com. We’re published quarterly.
heyyy i basically am obsessed with freepeople to the point where im mad fun of my love for this company hahaha its basically my entire wardrobe! but i was just wondering if its possible to get any of the fabrics that you have on displays in your store cause im redoing my room and your store in roosevelt field mall has inspired me
hey, i am dying to have a vintage prom dress which is relatively inexpensive (under $400). but i can’t even find many vintage dresses that fit the “prom” criteria, aka long and a spring color. freepeople blog and its readers seem very plugged in to the vintage scene, so i was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere i could find such a dress? thankyou!!
I have a question… Why is this wonderful store called Free People!!!
I love this store! Keep it goin’
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this store!! If you were the only clothing store in the world…I wouldn’t care. I wish you had a store in Maryland…..Hint Hint!!!
Keep up the good work!
Free People…is my absolute favorite brand.
I have many questions about where to buy Free People furniture and other things I see on this site! That world map…my God!!! I NEED THAT! Please tell me how to go about getting this beautiful stuff!
Always,
Tracey
Hey,
PLEASE come out to New Mexico with a store – there is SUCH A NEED for you here!!!!!!
come…come…come…..
i love free people…i think it’s great that free people has a blog. love free people clothing so much…would love to have a store open in nashville tn. check out birdie butter @ myspace.com/birdiebutter or…………………birdiebutters.blogspot.com
How can I get in touch with someone at Free People?

I am also attracted by freepeople ‘s culture after working in some related job with FP now.
i am so happy this blog is here!! i have you added on my blog list at magnoliaandbee.wordpress.com.
i heart free people, always! :)
I love free people and wish there were more blog entries…add more please :-)
I wish you had a store in Florida. Love the website, clothing, furniture, everything. Kickin in the extreme! This is so me and I wish there were stores like this when I was growing up. I was totally into the vintage scene and looking unique. I got laughed at a lot but older people loved my style. I’ve turned my hobbie into a business these days and it is sites like yours that keep me motivated to continue to grow and fulfill my fantasies. You guys are right on the mony and your site just screams Panache!
We love your blog! We have added you to our blog list at lightswitchclothing.com/blog
love the clothes..keep up the good work!
Can you post a listing of the music you play in your stores. I was in it today I have this song stuck in my head and NEED to know who is it by.
thanks
Do you have a post anywhere that talks about your company…I mean who started it, how it got started…etc…was is started by an individual designer and then picked up by a larger corporation for mass marketing???
hey people
i just wanted to say that i LOVE free people!
i am not rich and not independent yet (im 12, okay?!)
but i LOVE free people and since my school is annoyingly abercrombie-and-juicy (that’s ALL they wear!!!) i love free people since it makes me feel original.
so i only have 3 things from free people so far, and 2 were purchased at a cool secondhand store (Plato’s Closet-www.platoscloset.com-check it out!)
1. cherry country kitchen headband (purchased at king of prussia mall, PA)
2. a brown, green and pink patterned skirt with a beaded waistband (purchased at plato’s closet)
3. linen-washed white pants (purchased at plato’s closet)
once again, I LOVE FREE PEOPLE!
hehe. sorry.
if you have a crafts or original clothes/etsy or whatever website, email me at bdwaybound@aim.com and i’d love to check it out! thanks!
kendall + free people = love

I am a big fan of the free people line, and also of the hairstyles, with the cool braids, they are so unique. I would love to hear about the stylist or other info.
Hello!

Greetings from Italy
Stefano
Thanks Stefano! That’s awesome!
PLEASE come out to Poland (Krakow ) with a store – would be a great place for you here!!!!!! I can help…. I love your clothing it’s inspiring, beautiful and everybody ask me about it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have chance to get it once in while when I’m in USA xoxo Magda K.
How come you guys don’t make a plus size line? You would do so well. Many of my bustier friends love the clothes that our skinny friends wear and I am personally sick of making clothes myself. Plus I don’t have the talent to make anything moare than a skirt or something really simple…
I was just looking at your new job posting because I am dying to get a job at FreePeople.. and I saw that there are a lot of new jobs located in Concordville, PA which is a good location for me. But it is for Terrain. Is this a new store that is part of the FreePeople brand? Could you please just let me know about Terrain? Thanks so much!
Hi! i just wanted to say that i loveee free people and all of the art that goes into it. FreePeople is what inspired me to start making my own clothes and i keep lots of journals now like a photojournalists and i was surprised to see that you guys also like dan eldon! i wanted to know if you have a design team or artists that helps you with all of your art ideas? and i also wanted to know if you have internships?
I absolutely love your blog!! I take fashion design, so it provides so much inspiration- in my style. Free People cothing prices however are exorbitant for garments that are not very well made, are made at low prices oversees, and are made out of cheap fabrics (synthetic sweaters do not keep you warm; wool (the real thing, does). Free People’s mood is sort of hippie-ish, free, and connotes the feeling of independence. All of which I associate with American made products. Show some patriotism and help your own economy. and by the way, I love your decor.
i bought a free people jacket in new york at bloomingdales they dont send to uk can you suggest how i can get one in cream
I’m with MJ — why don’t you have sizes over 12? Are you afraid of women who are shaped like women? Or isn’t our money good enough for you?
I love the beautiful, unique, and artsy style of Free People, and I always recieve compliments when I wear this brands outfits. I think the price tag is a small price to pay for the confidence and beauty I feel that comes with these clothes.
This blog lets me keep in touch with the Free People lifestyle I wish and love to be a part of.
xoxo
Who created this beautiful design “Caravan of Curiosities”? I am talking most of pictures. Colors are just beautiful!!! Looks like color pencil were used, but can you get all this done by hand? or this is all done by computer now? So, imaginative. I am so grad that you did not use things like “Beach, seagle, sea shell etc.” I love it!!!
Hi! We’d love to include the Caravan of Curiosities as a Trendsetter on our site. We know how many fans we have of Free People and think they will love to see you there — email me trendsetters@shopittome.com for more info!!! Thanks!
I love Free People. Its so adorable and suits my style.
I found this blog on a google search and boy am I glad I did. I thought I heard someone mention it in a free chat room.
Awesome read!
hey freepeople i love your blog and your clothing!!! all of your clothing is so incredible, i started shopping for your stuff about a year ago and now practically my whole wardrobe is freepeople, anthropologie and urban outfitters…i am in love with the prints and colors, and your blog is a lot of fun to look through, keep doing what your doing!
We need designers for the Eco Exchange Fashion Show at GreenFest Philly
Sunday, September 7th 2008, 1PM
Eco-Fashion hits South Street with style and sustainability. We need designers using organic, alternative (hemp/bamboo/etc.) and reused/vintage materials. The festival draws 20,000 people and you’ll have the opportunity to showcase designs and promo on and off the runway.
Please contact liza ASAP at liza@goodlifeevents.org to participate or check out http://www.greenfestphilly.org/fashion.php for details (throw out the submission guidelines – we want you!)
I love everything about Free People. Enter to the blog and see so many cute things, really make me happy. I’m going to sound very tacky, but the blog makes me realize that humans can do SO many beatiful things… we have potencial. Maybe I’m just hormonal at the moment, but I can feel the good side of mankind at the blog.
hehehe.
Well, I don’t speak english, so if the comment is weird… I tried my best! I will study more english.
I absolutely love this site. My friend and I actually started a project on our own before we even found this called Project Once Upon A Time where we reinvent beloved fairy tale characters through fashion and photography. So far we’ve only done Beauty and the Beast.
Here are one of the pictures we ended up with:
I would love to be listed as a favorite on your blog roll – please check out my blog and if you like – love to be listed. Love your blog – visit often. – Julie
Hi Julie. Thanks for sharing your blog! I like it very much!
The only blogs on our “favorite” list are those that we have featured on the FP blog, but I’ll keep checking yours and maybe post something soon:)
Fp;
Thank you for coming to Downtown Seattle, This friday will be fabulous, I can’t WAIT!! xo – Val
Hi. I was wondering if you could tell me the lipgloss brand and color that the model is wearing on the website. She is modeling the “Dazzled Paris Headband” in the color cherry. Thanks so much.
Free People! You are amazing. I am like others, my friends actually posted their craig’s list add for roommies describing me as the “Free People Love child” My friends always ask, “Is that Free people?” anyway you get the point- I love love love you store. The only thing is. I follow the whole eco-fabulous, earth friendly, free people-free thinking, style…which means….I care about where my clothes come from and how they were made. Please…where can I find info on this? I really really really wish you guys would make a only made in the USA line or an organic line! Think of the positive impact this would have!!
Love

Hi!
I`ve made you a christmas card inspired by Free People, may I send it to you ?If so which email adress should I use?
I am a norvegian Illustrator, I love your clothes and I wish I was able to buy your clothes here in Norway:)
Love, Vibeke
Hi Vibeke! We would LOVE to see the card! You can email it to us here:
blog.freepeople@gmail.com
i really love the holiday make-up video!
is there any chance you could list what was used? it would really help a lot.
thanks :)
We want FREE PEOPLE in Europe!!!!
:) All the best!
Hi!
You can be discovered too!
I’ve discovered you and I like a lot what you are doing. It is very special!
You should have the comments go from most recent to oldest. They start with stuff people typed in back in 2006. Makes your blog appear to be old and stale — but then, maybe it is. These retailer blogs are so bogus.
Hello Free People!!!
I love your clothes and I love this blog! Constant inspiration :)
Ever since I saw the shredding tutorials on line, I have become obsessed with shredding cotton – who knew!!??
Thought I would share my store with you :)

Hola !!
Deseo felicitarlos por este maravilloso blog, de verdad que es inspirador. Durante el dia si estoy cansada y llena de trabajo me conecto un momento y solo entrar y ver tantas cosas curiosas que ustedes publican dia a dia y realmente me da alegria.
Un fuerte abrazo y besos
PD: no vivo en USA, pero cuando viajo compro sus productos.
Hi!
I wish to congratulate them for this wonderful blog, which is really inspiring. During the day if I’m tired and I work full time and only one log in and see so many strange things that you publish every day and really gives me joy.
A big hug and kisses
PS: I do not live in USA, but when I travel I buy their products.
love your idea ,i’m a student of china. i have some idea about the Sponge adhesive tape,waiting for your hallo…
I looooove this blog, and of course I’m a free people girl. I get so much inspiration from you guys! Keep it up and congrats!!
I adore the Free People vibe. I have always purchased Free People outfits from boutiques or their catalog because there was never a store in my town. A few days ago, I went into a Free People store for the very first time…loved everything about it from the hanging lanterns to the patched sari curtains. I wrote a letter to FP customer service to find out where I could find their pretty dressing room mirrors (carved wood with birds at the top) , but they weren’t able to give me much information. Please tell me that my search is over. I would love to have such a mirror in my home.
I check your blog all the time. I love it. Keep it up. It is terrific
Thank you for the support.
who are your amazing models!!!! Do you have a model directory?
beccaomg@gmail.com

Hey!
I love the blog!!
I’m utterly obseSSED with free people and i wish my WHOLE closet was free people! I sometimes fool around with shirts and skirts that i make and ive always looked for fabric to use that is somewhat like free people fabric, i was just wondering where you guys find this fabric, same with anthropologie, does anthropologie sell it?? also does free people make their fabric? Just curious, also, a few years ago there was a contest where you can join and there is a chance to win a 1,000 $ or so giftcard to free people, are you going to do that again, please?? ha ha
thanks for your time
-Kristina

Your catalogs are always a shining moment in my month. Your July issue said I should find a way to creatively recycle it, so I just wanted to share a little fan art: http://sweetmilke.blogspot.com/2009/08/shes-so-heavy.html

Hi Free People! While listening to my ipod the other day a Bob Dylan song came on. It’s one of my favorites and I think it describes the Free People Girl beautifuly! Here are the lyrics.
She Belongs To Me. By Bob Dylan
She’s got everything she needs
She’s an artist, she don’t look back
She’s got everything she needs
She’s an artist, she don’t look back
She can take the dark out of nighttime
And paint the daytime black.
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole
Down upon your knees.
She never stumbles
She’s got no place to fall
She never stumbles
She’s got no place to fall
She’s nobody’s child
The Law can’t touch her at all.
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks
She’s a hypnotist collector
You are a walking antique.
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
For Halloween buy her a trumpet
And for Christmas, give it a drum.
Valuable thoughts and advices. I read your topic with great interest.

I love your cloths! Will you be making plus sizes? You really should. Us gals would love to look trendy too! Seems like everything in larger sizes is so old or cheap looking …
heeey, around this time last year free people had this adorable shirt that i wanted to get so bad but when i went to buy it everybody was sold it. i forget the exact name of it but it was orange, i think navy blue, and white and it was a tanktop with three buttons on the top. it also came in light pink, grey, and white too. it is almost striped. if anybody knows what shirt im talking about let me kno haha. is there anywhere i could get this shirt or find it because ive wanted it forever. and by the way loveeeee free peopleee <3
