Bastille Chic oh oui!

Being French I am really excited about the upcoming cmarchuska fashion show hosted by Planete Chic in Washington DC next weekend - Bastille Chic! Christine is a revolutionary herself in the world of eco-fashion and her French motto "Vivons Vert" is perfectly in tune with the francophone spirit of this event sponsored by France-Amerique, FranceToday and the Alliance Francaise in DC.

Thanks to Planete Chic there will be French DJs and artists' exhibit, drinks, as well as a great ambiance, which will highlight "le défilé de mode" of the cmarchuska collection, all that in the historic Darlington House, a gorgeous Victorian row house in the heart of DC's old district.

The dress code is chic of course, and there is only a 10$ cover when registered on the guest list (we're expecting a big crowd so please come early!). For more info and the detailed course of the evening here is the facebook link to the event: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/event.php?eid=104394126229

Allons enfants de la patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivé : cmarchuska part à la conquête de la capitale!

See you all there et bisous :-)

New Introductions

Hello everyone! My name is Philicia, and I’m the new intern at cmarchuska. I’ll be working with Christine for two months in the city, as part of the Cornell Urban Summer program.

This past month I’ve gotten the chance to see so much- apart from familiarizing myself with the garment district, running between the tailor and Christine’s new showroom: The greenshowroom NYC; I’ve had the opportunity to meet with many of Christine’s friends in the fashion realm at trunk shows and events.  There are numerous projects in July, one fashion show in D.C. and the other in New York. Also, we got our first order at Montmarte, as we celebrate our first breakaway from eco-friendly boutique stores to the mainstream high-end market!

In addition to all this, it has been a great experience learning the art of marketing and pr-related work online to help promote the amazing cmarchuska line. I look forward to another fun-filled month with Christine. As Christine always says: “Don’t give up before the miracle happens!” I believe that the cmarchuska line will see its miracle in no time. :)

Hark all thee earth-friendly fashionistas!

The Green Room, cmarchuska's official showroom on the East coast, is having a trunk show this Wednesday, the 24th. And yes, you guessed it, among the fantastic selection of trend savvy eco designers you will find our very own cmarchuska collection at special prices.

So mark this day in your iphone/blackberry/google calendar or little classic notebook, and see ya there!

What a night!

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to our fabulous eco trunk-show! Because of your green support - Kaight boutique was absolutely buzzing with the cmarchuska vibe. The rainbow of colours from the new super soft summer hunter scarves was definitely eye-catching and everyone wanted to wear one. The new cranberry hue Christine added to the palette had my thumbs up! The dresses and tees were a hit as usual as I heard many exclamations of "Oh this fabric is fantastic!"

Those delicious cuca fresca caipirinhas, shaken not stired by our bartender, had everyone chatting and having a good time... Your eavesdropping spy can also reveal to you this exciting exclusive news: cmarchuska will be using bamboo very soon to create an even greater variety of texture in those sustainable designs that you love!

All dressed up in cmarchuska for Save the Eggs Benefit

Tia Walker's Save the Eggs benefit was a smashing success! We had a great time. The gracious hostess and several guests donned some of the new designs by cmarchuska, and were much complimented as they chatted, gushed over the luxe goodie bags and sipped on champagne. Christine's LBDs proved again how they make perfect little cocktail dresses while being easy-to-wear for any night out on the town, as the party later moved from the swanky Club Williams to a friendly pub next door.

Save the Eggs Benefit Cocktails 05/13

Philanthropy is very dear to us at cmarchuska – 5% of all our proceeds goes out to Safe Horizons, a NY charity dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence. Christine is also constantly involved in a number of other organisms, lending her name and influence towards forwarding various charitable causes. You too can help!

Celebrity blogger and fashionista Tia Walker will be co-chairing the Save the Eggs Benefit Cocktails on Wednesday, May 13th at The Williams Club located at 24 East 39th street. This is a fundraiser for a very noble cause, i.e. raising awareness on the issue of egg harvesting and raising funds to financially help women unable to cover the expense of saving their eggs when faced with the possibility of infertility due to chemotherapy - specifically in the treatment of Breast Cancer.

Christine Marchuska is on the host committee of this important philanthropic event and we encourage you to come party with us, while making a change! Tickets are $80 per person and guarantee you an exclusive evening sipping Veuve Clicquot (my favorite champagne!) and enjoying delicious hors d'oeuvres – and if that was not enough, deluxe gift bags will be handed out. Hope to see you there :-)
