Greetings!  I want to take this opportunity to thank all who have been following AlmostBranded.  It is out my a pure love of fashion and the arts that I contribute to this site and by sheer luck it has become an entrepreneural effort.  I am currently working with Programmers and Designers to build a webpage that will function as a brand source for consumers and a strategic marketing partner for many of the labels featured here.  I am looking forward to the re-launch and hope that you will continue to support Almost Branded.  Feel free to search and browse to become more familiar with the blog and I would love to hear any input from you as this is a work in progress that will only become better with your help.  You can reach me at r.itier@gmail.com THANK YOU!

Rock and roll... For some, life beyond the stage has become more than music.  Those low brow, would be punk brats pulling drags off French cigarettes and sucking down cheap beer may look as if they might not have a place to land when the club closes save for the watch draped over their wrist suggesting otherwise and for that you might consider them for who they truly are, purveyors of an eclectic mindset with a bankroll phat enough to seek.  Ready. Jet. GO!

Downtown girls everywhere are missing you... Please return to your sketch pad.  In the meantime, those of you yearning for a sense of what was and will always be acceptable in the eyes of fashion contemplates worldwide, I implore you to hunt down a piece of soon to be vintage history if not already... I present the Flavia skirt.
