This past February, my friends (Mara Papa, Katie Hatch) and I started HARVEY FAIRCLOTH, a fashion line which debuted at NYC's D&A with great response. The Fall 2009 collection is inspired by Alexey Brodovitch, Native American beading, The Seven Year Itch, Claire McCardell, and everything we've always loved to wear. Available in August. *[More here.]
This is so exciting! You are doing this -- where can I buy your clothes?
And, I would love to interview you on dare to dream if you and Katie are open to it?
Congratulations!

You guys have a wonderful and interesting point of view with Harvey Faircloth. It will be exciting and interesting to see the brand grow. By the way, well done with the art direction and site design. It's award winning!
Abby, you simply amaze me. I'm a fan of yours and have been following your design career since you were at MW but was always too shy to contact you. I think I bumped into you years ago as I was leaving after picking up my book from Yael. You were so sweet. I miss blueprint and was a fan of Katie's aesthetic so I'm pleased to find out about this new endeavor. I remember coveting a dress she wore on Martha Stewart and thought that she would do well with her own line.
Good luck! Send my wishes to Mara and Katie.

I'm such a huge fan of all of your inspiration. I can't wait to see them in person. Please keep us all up to date. Usually I want Summer to last forever, but now you've given me a reason to see it end.

I think that what I saw on your blog (the images of the collection) were absolutely gorgeous and really inspiring....I followed the link to the site and was asked for a password to view the collection....can you help at all? Thanks. Excellent work.
Posted by: cre | 03 April 2009 at 10:11 AM
Yes, you have to be a retailer/editor to view the collection now, thus the required password. However, when we are a bit closer to August the images will be more readily available.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
