JLee Silver Launches E-Commerce on Fashion Heist
By Samantha
Twenty-something career women want to buy fashionable garments without emptying their wallets in the process. The inception of basic fashion separates offered a solution by enabling women to mix and match pieces and create several outfits out of a few items. Now, in walks JLee Silver, a line launched by two career women who saw an opening in the market for moderately-priced separates that are classic and fashion-forward without ever sacrificing quality.
Jenna Lee Fowler and Melanie Manego have represented numerous designers in their showroom, Fashion Heist, and therefore, are no strangers to the world of style. The two ladies worked together composing a dream team of designers, pattern makers and more to help create their first line. Their diligence resulted in JLee Silver, a wallet-friendly line of stylish separates. Fowler and Manego created the line specifically for women like them and that passion shows in each garment. Every item retails for under $200, with a large selection of items are priced under $100.
From casual to glamorous, JLee Silver offers garments that cater to the working woman’s wardrobe, taking her fashionably from the office to a dinner date. And when people comment on her fabulous style, which they undoubtedly will, she can be a bit giddy knowing that her quality outfit was also a great buy. Now, Fowler and Manego have given every woman access to JLeeSilver with the launch of the e-commerce site, FashionHeist.com. The entire Fall/Winter 2009 collection is currently available on the site.
At the end of December, when the extra cash in your wallet has gone to holiday gifts, check out Fashion Heist’s offerings of JLee Silver, and give yourself some well-deserved, guilt-free retail therapy.

POSHGLAM's Sneak Peek of Fashion Genius David Alexander
By Samantha
David Alexander is truly a “whiz kid” of a designer. A mere 24 years old, David Alexander’s created collections full of luxury and glamour and shows off a skill that is way beyond his years. Starting off wanting to become a comic-book artist, Alexander found himself more intrigued by the designing of his characters costumes. His cheerleader and beauty queen mom and bridal dress designer grandmother were early influences for the designer.
Alexander designs with the images of Old Hollywood reinvented for today. His characters are from the 1920s to the 1950s, and he works to create his collection into a story around them. Most recently, for Spring/Summer 2010, the story theme of ,“Love Me If You Dare” , is what succeeded “Broken Princess and Secret Prince.” In his collections he uses exotic materials from rabbit fur to python and mixes them up with classic materials for a look that is refined, yet somehow slightly dangerous, and style note-worthy.
Alexander’s collections are high fashion with a mysterious edge that makes each piece statement-worthy, full of wearable sexiness and flirty femininity. The designer’s goal is that the lucky lady will strike a chord with onlookers, having them locked at the knees wondering where the bold sophisticate found such a fantastic find. The collection is sold at Curve in New York City, and Chic Little Devil Style House in Los Angeles and online at Not Just A Label.
David Alexander was gracious enough to allow POSHGLAM a sneak peek at what he has up his sleeves for Fall 2010. For more information, visit David Alexander.
