Good Evening~

So we finally have a winner of the feelgoodstyle.com contest for the next cmarchuska item....and the winning item is a sustainable tank! The idea came from Denise Diez who has been following our line and felt inspired that a great item for SS09 would be a cmarchuska tank top!!! Congrats Denise! You will receive one of the new tanks as soon as they hit production in Jan '09. Keep the feedback and ideas coming! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone xoxo

Greetings all!

I'm pleased to announce that cmarchuska will be finally tabling on the Binghamton University campus in support of the Women's Student Union's initiative to create awareness of domestic violence and our local SOS shelter for women! Christine and I will be selling some fab cmarchuska pieces and giving 10% of our profit directly to the WSU. If you will be in the Binghamton area on Monday, December 8, stop by the student union on the BU campus to see our table and do a little holiday shopping ;) ...we will still be offering the christine dress and vivons vert tee promotional deal (purchase a christine dress and get a FREE "vivons vert" tee!) We're looking forward to seeing lots of people!!

On another note...the photo shoot for the new spring/summer dresses produced some BEAUTIFUL photos...thanks to photographer Taylor, hair/makeup by William, and the gorgeous model LuLu! Some of the shots are on the facebook group page...take a look!

Happy early weekend :)

Good afternoon everyone, Sam here :) It's a beautiful day here in upstate! Sorry it's been a while since my last post..I'm sure with all the new exciting happenings popping up I will be writing much more frequently! The hot topic today is cmarchuska at February's ECOCOLLECTION exhibition at MAGIC in Vegas!!! MAGIC is a huuuuuge fashion trade show that draws designers from all over the place....obviously an amazing opportunity for cmarchuska! Christine will be exhibiting her new spring items...including her to-die-for dresses :) (the photo shoot for the new items will be going on this Sunday) I will def keep everyone posted as we receive more news about this fantastic event. Also, keep your eyes peeled for Christine in February's issue of Entrepreneur Magazine. Forget about Valentine's Day...cmarchuska is getting all the lovin in the month of February!!

I am also still working on cmarchuska's college campus initiative and will hopefully include my network of friends at other schools in the northeast to help represent cmarchuska. As far as BU goes, I am contacting several student organizations we could potentially hold a fundraiser for and sell some serious cmarchuska merch...I'm aiming for before the end of the fall semester. Speaking of selling, Christine also received a good turn-out at the trunk show on the upper east side this past Wednesday. We are looking forward to seeing the results from the upcoming holiday parties as well.

Everyone have a great weekend!!

Good Evening!

It has been almost a month since I've taken on my internship position with Marchuska, so I would love to share with everyone what I have been up too! First off, if you're in the Binghamton area, definitely head over to the Metro Center this Friday night to witness the area's coolest boutique offerings on display at the First Friday fashion show! m.y. boutique is part of the line-up and will amp up the chic factor by featuring pieces from Marchuska! It will be very cool to see Marchuska getting more exposure in the Binghamton community and among the college students..which is one of my main focuses. Currently I'm also working on organizing some sort of event on the BU campus in conjunction with other student groups...more details to come soon hopefully!

It's hard to believe that the holiday season is almost underway, and with this has come some exciting additions to the Marchuska line. The highly-anticipated Christine dress has been manufactured and is creating quite the buzz...better get your hands on one fast! ;) Also, if the crazy-early snow storm us upstaters endured last week and now watching the sun set at 5 pm has got you shivering at the thought of winter arriving...take comfort in knowing that Marchuska has introduced the hunter scarf!! Its made of super soft black organic silk and appeals to both men and women with its simple, yet ultra chic design (What else would you expect?) Clearly its the stocking stuffer of choice this holiday season, and what a great gift to give the hosts/hostesses of holiday parties!

Speaking of holiday parties, if you would like to incorporate some Marchuska merch offerings at your get-together, be sure to let Christine or myself know.

That's it for tonight, looking forward to sharing more news with you all soon! Remember to channel your inner designer and submit your idea for one of the new Marchuska pieces in the FeelGoodStyle contest!
