OSTEL Future as I SEE

Beauty of Fashion vs. War :::Future as I SEE:::

Hi everybody,

You all know about the current situation all around the world, from Iraq to Gaza and Kiev…, and seeing the horrors of War all over Media, I saw no point to write about Fashion when people are dying and suffering all around the world for “No reason”!

… But then I received an Email from “Kiev”, from a Friend, a young talented Fashion Designer I get to know through my blog. I wrote about her amazing designs in my post “Just Not a Label”. She sent me her latest designs and then I thought people can fight back against the ugliness and monstrousness of War in a different way, regardless of religions and governments, and let the world know that they are still alive!!!

NJAL – NOT JUST A LABEL

Hi everyone,

Have you ever heard of NJAL??!!

NJAL – NOT JUST A LABEL – founded by Stefan Siegel a 34 years old Italian (from Tyrol – German-speaking part of Italy!!). check out how it started:

Followed by a modelling career (he appeared in campaigns and catwalk shows for “Prada”, “Gucci” and “Calvin Klein”, Stefan started working for companies such as “Ernst & Young”, “Sal. Oppenheim” in Switzerland, and the “Merrill Lynch” ;A Investment Banking group in London specialising on the Consumer & Retail sector. In 2007 Stefan left London’s financial district to launch NOT JUST A LABEL (NJAL), based on an idea he had with his brother Daniel, a computer science expert. The website launched in May 2008 and today maintains a database of over 13,000 emerging fashion designers from 106 countries.

So, if you are into Fashion as a designer you can register yourself, on the other hand if you want to buy unique and contemporary outfits and accessories this is definitely the website for you. The prices are a bit high but if you want something special you have to pay the price!!!

Here are the selection of my favorite designers:

Most of the Apparel and Accessories will be made according to your orders and the shipping worldwide is free for majority of designs.

I suggest you at least check the Jewellery section of online shop, it is simply brilliant.

Have a nice long weekend

Cheers
