My NYFW Diary

February 9th, 2012 / Posted by fp jemma / Permalink

I didn’t get much sleep last night at The Jane Hotel… The excitement was running through me.

At 9am after a strong red eye I headed to the Lincoln centre for the 10am BCBG show. The fashion flock were swamping in and the adrenalin was sky high. Everyone was excited to see what the show had to offer. The lights dimmed and the music started pumping, the models sashayed down the runway showing elongated shapes, beautiful colors and a great use of geometric obstruction.

After the show we hunted outside the venue for style, I spied Alexa Chung and my heart started racing. New York is fast, one blink and you’ll miss a trick! my tired feet are now resting with thoughts on what Fall 2012 fashion will become. I wonder what tomorrow will bring…

For live updates head over to our Twitter page and follow our tracks! And our street style photos will be coming next week!

Office Style: Lou

February 9th, 2012 / Posted by fp naomi / Permalink

This week’s office style is dedicated to one of my favorite FP girls: Lou. The awesome thing about Lou is that she’s rough and she’s edgy, but she never loses a touch of sexiness. The look is for a girl who’s on the run and active. She doesn’t have the time to be high maintenance, and can’t stand things that will restrict the adventure. She loves to steal items from her man – bulky tees and grungy tanks never looked better. Pants and shorts are her go-to, and there’s nothing like a good pair of boots or sneakers. Once in a while, she’ll mix it up on you and throw in that feminine touch to remind you that, after all, she is a lady.

Blogger Love: Meet Gemma of Fade to Black

February 9th, 2012 / Posted by fp julia / Permalink

I first discovered Gemma’s blog Fade to Black over a year ago, and fell instantly in love with her style and everything she posts. We’ve emailed each other frequently, but finally the other day we got to meet in person when she came down to our office, or as she calls it, fairy land, for a quick little visit. I asked her to fill out one of our style file questionnaires, and she cracked me up as she did. Get to know a little bit more about Gemma, FP style!

Thursday Poll: February Catalog

February 9th, 2012 / Posted by fp naomi / Permalink

Our February Catalog is here, and this time it stars none other than the fiercely beautiful, Freja Beha Erichsen! For the book’s concept, Freja takes on each of the brand’s girl types: Candy, Meadow, Ginger, Lou, and Molly. The fashion changes with each girl, from Lou’s graphic tees and sporty touches, to Candy’s polar opposite frilly and flirty dresses. Each girl has her own unique style, but unanimous across the board is that free-spirited quality possessed by every Free People woman. Photographer Joshua Allen captured Freja as she delved into each girl type and embodied what makes them strong, confident, and stylish figures.

Which girl do you most identify with from the catalog?

Valentine’s Day Styling for Each Girl

February 9th, 2012 / Posted by fp julia / Permalink

With Valentine’s Day just a week away, we got to thinking about our different fp girls and how they’d style their Valentine’s Day outfits and spend their evening! We asked five girls from around the office who embody Molly, Ginger, Candy, Meadow and Lou to be our models for some Valentine styling and imagined what their ideal night might hold…

Molly

Wearing: Seamless Crochet Crop Top, Printed Romper, Marrakesh Floppy Hat, Quilted Crossbody, and floral saddle shoes coming soon!

Molly’s perfect date night would start with a screening of one of her favorite old movies, followed by a quiet, romantic dinner at a little french bistro.  After a couple of old fashioneds, they’d finish the night sharing a sundae at an ice cream shop like Franklin Fountain!

Ginger

Wearing: Glam Life Dress, Archduchess Platform,  Studded Bangle Set.

Ginger’s evening would start with a nice dinner and some red wine, and then it’s out for a night of dancing with her date!

Candy

Wearing: La Boheme Ruffle Dress, Mulberry Rose Crown, Russian Doll Fringe Bracelet, Half Moon Clog.

Candy would enjoy spending her night in cooking a nice dinner with her sweetie, after which they’d go for a moonlit stroll and stop at a bakery for some sweet treats!

Meadow

Wearing: Crochet Short Sleeve Tiered Dress, Platforms, Janie Fringe Satchel.

Meadow’s ideal date night would start with seeing one of her favorite bands in concert, followed by a late dinner at her favorite organic restaurant.

Lou

Wearing: High Waisted Pleated Linen Pant, Vegan Leather Bustier, Converse, Jenny Floppy Hat, Dynasty Leather Cuff,  Studded Satchel.

Laid-back Lou doesn’t like a big fuss for Valentine’s Day – she’d rather spend the night chilling with her date at the bar – preferably a sports bar so they don’t miss the game!
