Heroine Clothing |
||||||||||
| From skeletons and knights on horses, to more defined graphic tees adorned with Adam and Eve, it is no wonder avant-garde label, Heroine Clothing, is donned by punk-rock band members. Apart from rockers, however, the New Jersey-based label is one of the favorites amongst Candy Plum shoppers. From (men's and women's) deep V-necks, to (women's) lighthouse-print t-shirt dresses, Heroine Clothing takes the cake in trendy wear at an affordable price. |

| There is nothing ubiquitous about Nicole Rae Styer's clothing line. Without a doubt, each piece is extremely unique. Styer pairs one-of-a-kind pieces from vintage fabrics gathered over the years, with careful lace and button detailing to create a mesh of modern design with old-school execution. Strolling past Candy Plum, don't be surprised to find one of Styer's creations in the window display. |

Qassa |
||||||||||
| It doesn't take much to grasp why we love Qassa candles at Candy Plum. If Billie Holiday and David Bowie don't set the mood for you, then surely lighting a Barack Obama-decked candle will have to do. We also love Veronica Soto's light-spirited (no pun intended) sense of humor with her Saint Brit Prayer Candle, dedicated to Britney Spears. The candle features a photo of a bald Spears with some rather funny quotes from the pop star. All in all, these candles are a must-have! |

Heidi Roland |
||||||||||
If there is one thing we love about the jewelry collections we carry here at Candy Plum, is that many of them are daring. Heidi Roland fits just that criteria with her collection of ultra-light aluminum framed earrings. The photo earrings in her collection are adorned with miniature pictures of bright fish or the New York City skyline. Roland also styles lobes with feathers and hand-painted, super-light leaf earrings--made from real leaves.

Every Little Counts |
||||||||||
| After six years working as a fashion designer
in New York and Los Angeles, Amy Snider has emerged with her
own label, Every Little Counts. The mission of the line is to
provide affordable and feminine garments for women that express
feelings of romance, independence, and nostalgia.
Every Little Counts is made exclusively in the east side of Los Angeles as a collaboration between Amy and her husband Adam, who has a background in art and graphic design. Together, they pool their inspirations into a unique line of clothing created for a certain kind of girl; complex and independent while also flirtatious and romantic. This is a girl who daydreams, fantasizes, and falls in love. The loose fit and low necklines combined with esoteric and romantic graphics create a nonchalant sex appeal. |

Divine dZigns |
||||||||||
| Rekha created the concept of the Divine dZigns
brand inspired by her love for art, abstract patterns and her
many travels. A concept, that appeals to all cultures, ethnicities
and ages. She integrates classic style with unique design elements
that have meaning and inspiration to create a bold fashion statement
and offer a one of a kind buying experience.
Born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, where her South Asian upbringing and her mother’s love for sewing and handicrafts helped to form the early stages of her creative spirit. As a teenager she learned to sew and enjoyed making clothes for herself and her friends. This was her first insight that she loved fashion and wanted to be a designer. Putting that dream aside temporarily, she graduated from college with business degrees and went on to pursue various corporate jobs and lived in such diverse cities as the San Francisco Bay area, San Antonio, Atlanta and finally moved to New York City in 2004. But all along, always carrying within her a desire and a dream to design. She kept that dream alive, by always pursuing different design and art classes knowing that one day it would all come together. This included attending Parsons School of Design in New York Each city she lived in influenced her in a different way, but it has been New York’s vibrant flare that helped to fine tune her vision and develop her design aesthetic. She launched Divine dZigns in 2007. She is now living her dream! |
