There are times when a quickie is an absolute must, and this is such a time: this isn't a regular blog entry, its a quickie just to say "Hi, hello, we're still alive at DeviDoll blogistan HQ".
Our elongated silence is the result of a combo of reasons including business development, usual new season manic-ness (more soon on SS09 collections: Doie's 'Los Angeles', Deborah Lindquist's 'Island Girl Goes to the Desert' and Mociun's 'the Vast Expanse' and Fin's 'Nasturtium'), extensive travel (saw 2 tigers in India earlier this month, as the general election got under way, many, many political animals surfaced too) and office relocations.
But we're still here and will soon be back with our views, news, happenings, thoughts from the world of fashion, especially of the ethical, green, eco and sustainable kind.
We leave you with this.....if you missed DeviDoll's mega SpringFling back in March, don't fret, DeviDoll has another one planned for just before we all break up for summer (ie, early July). Stay tuned.

AT THIS POINT A QUICKIE IS A MUST

FIN STAYS THE COURSE INTO 2009
DeviDoll has been a great fan of FIN, as readers of this blog will know, since its very first collection back in the 2008. Every season this label takes things one notch up - both in design and in fabrics. And all the while they keep with their basic 'we're gonna have it all' credo: environmentally and ethically conscientious from top to bottom.
This season their collection is tres sophisticated...personally, I've always been a fan of their dresses and tailored jackets, both of which feature strongly in SS09.
Preview the new season collection at DeviDoll here.And do join us in congratulating them on continuing to set a standard in making fashion, fashion first and then, by the way, ethically sound. That's what we call style at DeviDoll.

GET A FIN HABIT LIKE KEIRA KNIGHTLEY AND KATE BOSWORTH
No good thing can be a secret for long -- VOGUE has marked FIN's 'Eco-Lux' ethical denims as the newest hottie on the block.
"...FIN denims are created from both Fairtrade and organic cotton exclusively and produced in India and Peru, where the industry supports workers facing the challenges of poor working conditions and wages. As if that weren't enough encouragement to indulge, the jeans are simply gorgeous to boot - spring/summer 2008 is all about subtle feminine touches inspired by "Fin heroine" Ameila Earhart." Read the full article here.
As I've said before we're huge FIN fans at DeviDoll and delighted to welcome the Spring Summer 2008 collection online now.

NU MAGAZINE ARRIVES ONLINE
Late last year I met two bright and very motivated women in the midst of executing an inspired idea: to create a practical and widely relevant magazine that showcased the best in ethical fashion and lifestyle. They had thoroughly researched the idea and realized that what was missing was a publication correctly balanced between all that is glamourous about fashion and all that is ethical (or not) about glamourous fashion. It was a project that could not have come at a better time and exactly for that reason, a very daunting to take on. Well, as the new online version hits our inboxes, I can safely say Amisha Miller and Lauren Maleh have pulled their plan off and with some aplomb.
The inaugural online edition of NU -- 'fashion laid bare' -- has much to offer -- fashion everywhere -- the kind that everyone involved with this 'space' wants to broadcast and that equally, lots who are not involved should see and know about.
And its more than fashion...
NU is a welcome magazine for those who know their Kelly B from their FIN (and love both!) but (and this is the really important bit) also those who don't... it has the right look and tone to introduce ethical fashion to those who only understand the 'fashion' part. This is a key service that ethical publications - especially those focused on fashion - must provide and NU gets it right.
Their spring issue is out soon but, in the meanwhile, you can download this issue free and get started on everything NU.

ALL'S FIN AT DEVIDOLL THIS SPRING
The Norwegian eco-luxury label FIN debuts at DeviDoll in March.
"....embark on a stylish journey with FIN's heroine Amelia Earhart -- the first woman to fly solo over the Atlantic in 1932. In the age of global warming, she would probably have chosen FIN's signature mode of transport: A glider plane."
Get ready for quintessential Scandinavian design - neat lines and nuanced colours -- combined with a strong sense of what looks chic on women everywhere. Get ready for classically beautiful clothes.....
Black organic cotton cigarette trousers
....made from organic materials and fairly produced....
....by a company that takes care to be carbon neutral throughout.
There is an ambitious sense of 'having -it-all' about FIN. Have the look, have the luxury and get all in the right way. This is the first venture into the UK for this label (having sneak-peeked their AW08 lines we know they're here to stay!) and we welcome them to DeviDoll. Having our cake and eating it...now that's FIN(E) indeed.
