Fashion Icon: Mandy Moore

When Mandy Moore first came onto the music scene, she was just another blonde, bubblegum pop tart trying to keep up with frontrunner Britney Spears. But, the determined sweetheart eventually surprised fans and critics with a lasting career in film rather than music.After releasing radio-friendly hits like “Candy,” Moore switched her focus to acting, proving she could carry a film as a brunette pastor’s daughter in the tear-jerker, A Walk to Remember. And her busy love life with Zach Braff, Wilmer Valderrama, and tennis pro Andy Roddick has kept the media buzzing as she starred alongside Diane Keaton in Because I Said So and John Krasinski in License to Wed. Mandy Moore is the face of the new site uPumpItUp.com where women can share their empowerment stories and tips.

Del Forte Denim

Organic Cotton = Luxury. Del Forte Denim is designed for the eco-chic woman who is transforming the face of fashion. Made in the USA with 100 percent organic cotton, Del Forte’s premium denim apparel is part of a growing trend which interprets luxury as a combination of distinctive design and ethical production.

The garments are sewn and finished in Los Angeles, a fashion-forward city that is a leader in anti-sweatshop legislation and enforcement, as well as being home to the most cutting-edge wash development facilities in the country.

Del Forte Denim has partnered with The Sustainable Cotton Project, which has been building bridges between farmers, manufacturers and consumers to pioneer markets for certified organically grown and sustainable cotton since 1994. A portion of Del Forte Denim’s proceeds will go to support The SCP.

We are committed to using green products and services whenever possible. Our office is stocked with eco-friendly supplies, all our printing is done on New Leaf paper using vegetable-based inks and we found a carbon neutral company to host delforte.com.

Fashion Update: Jovovich-Hawk for Target Line Now Available!

The highly anticipated Jovovich-Hawk for Target has finally made it’s debut in Target stores and online.

Jovovich and Hawk met over 13 years ago as young models. The line’s first collection, which amounted to eight pieces, was impressive enough to catch the eye of John Eshaya, women’s creative director for Ron Herman at Fred Segal. The pieces were sold exclusively at its stores; the line almost instantly sold-out. The line’s second season was equally, if not more successful, with Fred Segal re-ordering its stock mid way through the season.

“Our Target line will have all our classic pieces: smock dresses, tunics, minis, all vintage-inspired, great prints,” Jovovich said. “We took the things that sold the best for us but we’re doing it on a bigger scale. To be able to do it with a big company that can afford to do it for a good price so that real girls can afford it. That’s the reason we were interested.”
