Real Women, Real Clothes
I’ve always wanted Linden to be an accessible brand. The goal has always been to create fashion forward clothing with an edge that is easy enough for the average person to mix it into their wardrobe. You can be bold and daring with it, or dress it down for everyday wear.
This past Saturday I invited some friends to my studio for a photo shoot. Four wonderful women showed up, each a different body type, age group, profession, and each with her own personal style. I asked them to pull from my racks (anything available for purchase from www.LindenCA.com) and style themselves as they would if it was their own closet. I helped when I was asked but I tried to give them as much control as possible.
They all did their own hair and makeup, wore their own shoes and accessories, and the only pro in the mix was friend and photographer Jeremy Lee (http://jeremyleePhoto.com/ http://www.germyinsocal.com/) Talented as he is, he repeatedly brought out the inner super model of each girl.
After 6 hours on the roof of my building on a hot Los Angeles day, we wound up with some beautiful photos and what I consider a successful experiment. Over the next week or so (Jeremy has a lot of photos to filter through) we will introduce each girl and each outfit she put together. We are so excited to share this with you.
Much love,
Jennifer Lynn

Pre-Spring Clean
I try to keep things simple in my closet, but sometimes I have unnatural attachments to inanimate objects. Shoes for example. I have some shoes I purchased years ago, have worn once, but don't have the heart to give away. Like these pink Anne Klein shoes I bought at least 5 years ago at Macy's, on sale for $25, that I dubbed "barbie shoes". They are hideous, I bought them mostly as a joke, wore them once, as a joke, and yet continue to hold onto them. Someone please explain this. Or these Miss Sixty boxing high tops? Seriously love them, worn them maybe 5 times, also owned at least 5 years.
I'm getting rid of the barbie shoes for sure, but as for the other half dozen shoes in my closet I love dearly but never wear, I'm giving myself a challenge:
If I do not wear them once by June, then off they go! Same goes for old purses, wallets that are falling apart, and t-shirts.
At a certain point, I just start to feel weighed down by THINGS. Not to mention, new Spring 2013 stock is almost ready and I have to make room in my closet for all of it!
Now to assemble a box of donations, someone else will surely love these barbie shoes.

Screens
As I make my first real effort to begin constructing something from Fall 2013, I decided i wanted to create a print. I really love having a hands on approach to my work, so I've decided to take a stab at screen printing for the first time since college. I'm not that old, but its definitely been a while.
I'm only posting a few photos since i'd hate to give away all the details pre Fashion Week, but proof of my arts and crafts are below. Just know that my fingernails are stained black, and not from polish, but from screen printing ink. It looks pretty cool, but i do need to brush up on my skills.
