Mon-Peche-Mignon is a Japanese line inspired by French girls, and born as a second line of ScoLar. Mon pèche mignon, which translates into "my guilty pleasure" in French, tries to tie in Japanese inventiveness with the charm of Paris, catering to the young woman.
Their lingerie-like dresses and tops styled with hand crochet, laces and printed woven chiffons. The palette is neutral, mostly grey and black, although the embellishments are colorful. The fits are slim, contemporary and easy to slip into.
Scolar is a refreshing and relaxed Japanese line for young women and teenagers. The collection is full of prints and soft knits in easy shapes. The theme of the brand is a mixture of retro and distinctiveness, and knit tops and dresses are core items for the brand. The graphics and silhouettes are a modern yet cute, girlie flavor.
Now ScoLar is distributed at more than 200 stores in Japan, and four overseas countries of the United States, China/Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea.
Ben Sherman was the Mod God. The man, who started making shirts in the late 1950's from a small factory in Brighton, went on to dress the swinging Sixties and became the King of trend-setting Carnaby Street. Hungry for money and fame, he remained a party animal until the day he died in 1987. The 1960's gave British youth more fashion, money and freedom than ever before. Working from small premises in Brighton, entrepreneurial shirt maker Ben Sherman saw his niche and founded the Ben Sherman Company in 1963.
Immediate demand fueled fast growth in production and product innovation. By 1968 the company had moved to Carnaby Street in London, and the Ben Sherman button down Oxford shirt had become a status symbol. Ben Sherman was committed to the good life and also to quality and fine tailoring. His shirts had certain unique features - a button down collar, a back pleat and loop - which are now instantly recognizable Ben Sherman details.
Ben Sherman has developed from its original roots as the status shirt brand, into the complete British lifestyle brand and an enduring cultural icon.

Since launching in the spring 2005, NYC-based clothing line SOUNDGIRL has provided a consistently innovative model for what a clothing line can be. Originally conceived as a high-spirited junior line full of bold prints, casual denims, and a decidedly youthful aesthetic, the line has continued to evolve in new and unexpected ways. Rather than simply mimic existing trends in fashion, Soundgirl strives to reflect the spirit and sensibility of youth culture. Geared towards ladies with a bold sense of style, a love for pop culture and an ear for music, Sound girl has always offered an array of choices-funky, vintage-inspired dresses and knits, funky denims, and colorful accessories-while staying true to the line's edgy roots. As the line continues to evolve, the creative minds behind Soundgirl are happy to usher in the next logical stage in the line's creative evolution-the introduction of re:sound in fall 2008. While Soundgirl continues to provide a youthful spin on casual sportswear and denim, re:sound represents the older, more sophisticated side of the line-a chic, high-fashion array of dresses, coats, and casual characterized by the same urbane, affordable and accessible sensibility that has always been the driving spirit of Soundgirl.
Sound girl continues to serve as an online resource for both style and music with the ever-expanding Soundgirl.com. The site not only serves as a means for showing off the latest in Soundgirl and re:sound designs, it offers readers a wealth of original music-related content-from exclusive interviews with up-and-coming musical acts and established artists (Sally Shapiro, Grizzly Bear, Cat Power, etc) to downloadable mixes, a streaming jukebox, and a much-loved weekly newsletter that currently reaches over 200,000 readers. Membership on the site remains absolutely free.
Soundgirl is consistently featured in magazines in the the US , Japan , and throughout Europe . Write ups and features have appeared in Teen Vogue, Nylon, Cosmo, Star, Alternative Press, Women's Wear Daily, Harper's Bazaar, Beautiful Decay, Elle Italia, and VIVI ( Japan ). The line has also popped up on a variety of television shows such as Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, and American Idol, and assorted MTV programs. Soundgirl and re:sound currently sell in over 800 stores and boutiques worldwide.
In just over three years Soundgirl has managed to forge an extraordinary connection between art, music, and fashion. It remains our mission to continue this pursuit as Soundgirl and re:sound continue to evolve.
