Baby Come Back

I'm bringin' The Exploratory back! It's been over a year, and I thought I didn't really want to keep a blog, but I'm reconsidering. 

recap

+ Moved home (New York) from Amsterdam

+ Went to a lot of concerts

+ Started a luxury eco-friendly women's clothing line called Indigo Apparel with my friend, Laura Mae

+ Launched a Kickstarter for it (there's about a week left)

Stay tuned for:

+ Went to Arizona!
+ Started making custom party wear/leggings for friends (photos another time!)

And that's about it! Oh, home life.....Check it

Saw these kids <3

Look at this concert crew

All of these lovely eco-fashions are designed by Indigo Apparel, 
and are available on our Kickstarter page:

100% Vegan, hand dyed, bamboo leggings. The softest fabric! 
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jackii/indigo-apparel-high-fashion-meets-sustainability

Look into my eye. You are getting veeeeery sleepy. When I snap my fingers you will stand up and shout, "I love the environment! I love Indigo Apparel!" 

All 100% vegan, hand dyed, bamboo leggings. Bamboo is a great fabric because it is antibiotic and antimicrobial. It naturally does not require the use of harmful (or any) pesticides to grow! 

Even our packaging is eco-friendly!



The fashion industry is one of the world's leading polluters. Our fast-fashion habits lead to unsafe drinking water and unfair working conditions. We are working every day to limit our carbon footprint, use only non-toxic dyes, vegan materials, and safe labor practices. 

Only 5 days left in our campaign!

Help support a project that can make a difference. Share it with your friends!

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana!

September was nice and busy! First came my personal website launch (my portfolio), which I made myself on Wix.com- really easy to use if you need an online portfolio or website. There are  a million templates, and most of them are actually cool. 

This is my website: www.jackiiramis.wix.com/design
It lists upcoming events, exhibitions, there is a store, blah blah blah.

More recently I launched part of my collection on Muuse.com! There are 6 pieces from the "Crunch" collection, that are available for sale, tailor made to fit your measurements. All pieces are made by tailors in Copenhagen, Denmark. Pieces start at 2,000 Euro. Follow me on Muuse! http://www.muuse.com/#!collections/110-crunch-by-jacqueline-ramis

In honor of the launch, I have put up some (cheap!) items for sale on my website. Scarves, prints, purses... Check the shop on my wix website. 

Here are some other blog posts from Muuse.com about Crunch & the FIT Milan program.

+now: getting serious about my next collection?! 

I guess that's about it. Met some nice people. I was a zombie extra in a friend's movie. The same movie used some of my garments on extras. 

Here are some pictures of Paris I owe you ;)

(Paris was AMAZING. I didn't edit any of these photos, and they're from my ipod. That's just how crazy it looked outside.)

Jardin des Tuileries

Near the museum Orangerie. So amazing!

The Monet exhibit took me into another world.

These museums are impressionist heavens.

This is right near the Louvre...

I took the nicest nap after the museum
