Autumn Winter 2014 Campo Dei Fiori Collection - Delivery!!!

Hello friends,

It's been a while since I've posted, and there's a reason why: I've been super busy trying to get all the items through our New York City based factory for AW14, and tomorrow we're taking delivery on the clothes!  I can't believe how excited I am about all this, and I can't wait to get them into shops around the globe for you all to wear.

Right around the corner next week we'll have our photoshoot with all these new pieces, and I'm excited to be working with some of the gorgeous models from the NYFW show again, as well as a new face too.  I'm such a lucky woman to work with so much talent!

In the meantime, we're now stocked all across the US, newly in London, and working on getting into shops in Canada and elsewhere in Europe.  Let me know if there's a place that should carry Cabiria, and we'll try to get in there.

This collection is called Campo Dei Fiori, named after another neighborhood in Rome, which translates to "Field of Flowers".  There is so much pattern and color happening in this collection of favorite shapes from last season and new items like tops and skirts, how could I resist naming the collection after such a riotously beautiful place?

We have the Flavia, a deep pocketed pencil skirt, in 100% satin wool with a great giraffe print or in a dense French brocade that looks like an 8-bit Atari game in chevrons.

We have the Stella, a closed placket long sleeved romantic top in pattern mixes of orange pebbled 100% silk twill and a blue digital snakeskin print in stretch silk charmeuse, or an abstract blue leopard print on 100% silk charmeuse and black silk charmeuse contrast.

We have the Paola, a 100% fine gauge merino wool maxi dress with a twisted keyhole neckline and a unique lining in jade green or huge orange and gold floral, with a different pattern for each person.

We have the Stefania, a long sleeved version of our popular Sofia dress, with a lapel and elasticized waist in luxurious 100% silk Crepe de Chine, silk faille, silk twill, 4-ply silk or merino wool jersey.

And finally, we have new fabrics in our Sofia dress, still in silk jersey, and this time in French apricot bouquets on charcoal black, or black abstract bars on a blue like a clear summer day sky.

Cabiria's also received some incredible press, since the last post, but my absolute favorite is a piece of mail sent from a woman who bought the Sofia in Giant Peony for her honeymoon. I've never met Carrie Malone or her new husband , but she felt good enough in her dress to send me this photo, on Kawaii.  This is why I do what I do, in a nutshell.

I can't wait to share the photoshoot images with you all as well!  Seriously, can not wait.

All the best, Eden

Cabiria Available Online and In (a few) Stores Now!

Hello friends,

It's been pretty busy here at Cabiria HQ since we received delivery from the factory. We're now on the rack at Bombshell Boutique in St. Paul, MN, and Madison Plus Select has an exclusive Cabiria line rolling out as we speak. I've sent an order off to a plus size celebrity for a new CBS television show (hush hush until it airs!), and gotten a LOT of inquiries on how to get these dresses. It's really exciting!

This is where you come in as a community. If you know of a plus size boutique that should carry our dresses, please show them the Online Store at http://www.store.cabiriastyle.com, where all our availability stock is currently listed. If you are a retailer with a desire to stock us, let us know. We have a couple of different structures available for wholesale, drop shipment, and memo terms. If there's a style and pattern that you want exclusively for your shop, you create exclusivity by reserving or purchasing the whole run of that item - not prohibitive, in reality. I really, really want to work with you to get these dresses in your hot little hands! Help me help you.

I know that the price point is higher than some of the pieces on the market, but it's actually priced low for what they are - sumptuous fabrics, designed specifically for the plus size body, made in the USA, and in small, unique quantities. I want you to try them on to feel the difference in quality and the details that make it fit so well and wear for years. That means that you need to make sure retailers know they can sell what they bring into their shops. You, yes, you, the consumer, have that power. Heady, isn't it?

Finally, *here are a few Cabiria dresses currently and exclusively available on the Madison Plus Select website. Go get 'em, folks!

All the best, Eden
