9 NIN3 9 :) SMILE :) TUBE

NIN3 *STAR* TUBE
Its been a hectic month, a lot of our concentration has been redirected away from NIN3, but I promise this is the last time we'll say that! It's all about to begin, we plan on finalizing our blanks this weekend and visiting LA and the garment district where Sideara will soon be moving. Be sure to let us know if you have any advice which NIN3 items are your favorite to effect the decision of which items will be released first!

Coachella was amazing, Sideara didn't get to go but had good opportunities in LA she couldnt pass up. Its definitely something to experience though, the music and whole thing was unforgettable. Outsidelands is possibly the next hit, San Diego weather has definitely been reminiscent of SF gloom.
But sometimes thats just how we like it.

9 girls' smiles' always brighten up hazy days.


Love,

Coachella excitement


Sorry for the monstrous delay in posting everyone!! We want the shop to be up so bad and have been so busy. Coachella is coming up and we have decided we're going. Devon got her ticket and I'm still trying to find mine, but if I dont I'll be slipping through some cracks or something because this shit is happening. 

Of course about 10 weeks in advance Devon already has her outfits planned. I'm feeling a bit stressed knowing my lack of flat shoes might screw me over a bit. Barefoot always works though. If you're going, look around for the girls running around in the only NIN3 merch currently available in the world, and hopefully next year we'll see a few NIN3 items around, on the girls standing in the front of the crowds, the boys who came in RV's and snuck in without a problem, some kick ass band members. We want to see NIN3 on the people who don't hesitate to start dancing the moment they hear a song they like.

9 girls persist.

Hope to have our stuff out to you soon! XX IX S.

MEOW IS THE TIME

 
BOW DOWN AND MEOW TOP - NIN3
SLIME MAXI SKIRT - NIN3
As working on the launch rolls along, we've been spending a lot of time thinking about the future. Our original plan was to go to school together in New York, but as NIN3 becomes a bigger part of our future we've realized we need to keep base here. Depending on what schools we get into, we're considering LA and are not at all opposed to being in two different areas. Being in New York and Los Angeles at the same time will of course be a huge challenge, but not one we can't turn into a blessing. Only time can tell where we'll go!

Until the next,

MONDAZE

In the wake of meeting with Jeff from Sanuk, we've been adding more to our list of things to take to the pattern maker for our final collection. We have a couple meetings set up this week with people who can help us with the manufacturing so we're very excited to get that moving along. As we make our sketches, we're finding inspiration like this video of a Mandelbrot fractal. Fractals are infinite patterns and have many of the same properties we see in 9, like the mystery and power. Its easy to see how inspirational they are, just watch the video :)
Devon and I also look to our own styles for inspiration, so we got together at Allie's.

We hope everyone has a productive week!

Floral collared shirt - thrifted, high wasted pants- BDG, shoes are Jeffrey Campbell Everest


Blazer- hand me down, shirt- Brian Lichtenberg, the lace triangle insert pants are NIN3 and have the same triangle in reverse positions on the back.
This week we met with Jeff Kelley, the creator of Sanuk (Sanuk.com) and he gave us some great tips. We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to meet with him, we learned a lot and know what our next step is. We're getting our official patterns made next week for pieces like the triangle pants and lace bellbottoms. We hope we can get our stuff out as sooooon as possible! 9 girls work hard.
