Too Many Tights!

Vogue Nippon Feature (Translation please...?!)

I told you I wasn't lying (click to see larger):

Notice that all the other labels mentioned have pictures of celebrities wearing their stuff, except me.... :(

Oh well, hopefully they said nice things about me - can someone supply me with a translation?

p.s. FInally getting on top of all my orders after getting really sick, your patience is appreciated!

p.p.s Remember - you can now get plain black tights for $40 over at the Black Milk store. Trust me, darling, you will wear things things everywhere.

Behind The Scenes...

A little sneak peek behind the scenes at today's photo shoot...

jL

p.s. Vote, sucker!

Arigato, Baby...!

Something of a milestone for me today - got featured in Vogue Nippon. So... I guess I'm officially cool now. :)

... 9 months ago spent the last money I had on two sewing machines
... 3 months ago started a label
... Today featured in Vogue.

Craziness.

I'll get a scanner, I promise, and then you can see it.

Quick note... a lot of people have been buying the Gold Spartans, which is cool, but I should mention something important. Most people buying them presumably saw them in Frankie magazine - however, I'm doing the Gold Spartans differently now (better!)

In the Frankie magazine the panel goes almost to the ankles, the way I do it now the panel goes below the knee. Here's a pic.

Will your legs look like that when you wear them? To be completely honest - yes, they will.

Buy them here.

Ace Of Spades, Baby!!!!

Yesterday: 25th

Today: 17th

Jumped: 8 places

Not bad for 24 hours... if I can keep this pace up I'll be number one within 3 days!!!

A free shop for six months... how cool. And if I win it you're all invited to the opening party!!! I don't care where you live, you all have to come (so Queen Michelle - start saving!)

BLACK LEGGINGS

Okay, when I was at the markets, these were my biggest seller by far - plain black. Black as the Ace of Spades, and shiny.

Seriously, get these and you will be living in them (especially on those cold nights...)

These are just one of those items that you just can't go wrong with, y'know?

Forgive me sideways action on the video. It's a work in progress. And my choice in music is also a little questionable... your patience is appreciated.

Black Wet Look Leggings - US$40

Available only at the Black Milk web store... (soon to be the Black Milk city store. Ha!)

jL

p.s. I have some kind of flu (don't use the 's' word) and I also have a hell of a lot of orders right now... so if you are waiting for stuff, your patience is greatly appreciated! :)

Black Spartans Back!!! (And Please Help Me Win A Shop...)

Guess who's back
Back again
Black Spartans are back
Tell a friend...

But before I give you the link I have a favour to ask...

I live in a city called Brisbane, and there is an organisation called Brisbane Marketing who really want to promote the city, so they've decided to do that by making it into the next fashion capital of the world. Look out NY... 

So they're running a competition for local fashion labels with first prize being:

A SHOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY RENT FREE FOR SIX MONTHS!!!

... and they promote you and tell everyone how amazing you are etc.

So I've entered and haven't really made a good go of it, which is why I'm coming 25th at the moment. However - I'm going to get serious about it and I need you, dear blog reader, to help me win!

VOTE FOR BLACK MILK SO WE CAN OPEN A SHOP IN THE CITY!!!

Now here's the thing, you can vote as many times as you want, max one a day. So I'll do a blog post every day with a link, and if you could be kind enough to spend 30 seconds voting, it would be wicked. Let me know if you have any problems.

Or you could just go and buy some Black Spartans:

 

Got some great stuff coming up as well... Codename: Shredded To Hell

:)

Zebs Pics

I do like these pics, even if they do look a little bit American Apparel...

Made them with a little panel from the Zebs. Speaking of Zebs...

You can get them here. 

jL

p.s. I'll be rereleasing the Black Spartans THIS WEEK... s'riously.

Zebs

Now, I know I always say "Hey, these things are the hottest thing out there and you just have to get them..." etc, etc. but seriously, this time believe me when I say - these things are the hottest thing out there and you just have to get them.

Trust me, I'm a designer.

I call these 'Zebs'. See if you can work out why.

I kid you not - metallic zebra stripes with a reptilian texture - how cool?!

You can get them at the Black Milk store for only US$80...

Or, if you like Zebra stripes but don't like mine, you could always go for the Sass + Bide version for $240

Hey, I'm just sayin'...

jL

p.s. Some of you may be thinking "Is this guy doing fashion shoots in the shower?!" Um... yeah, I am. That's not weird, is it?

p.p.s Have you ever seen a cooler necklace than this?!?! (Tights rock as well...)

NEW RELEASE! Suspenders...

Okay guys, I've got a new release for y'all - and we just turned the hotness level up to 11...

Actually, make that 12.

The concept is fairly simple, you take the suspender + stockings style and crank it up, so you are using leggings material (my beloved black wet look) and really strong suspender buckles.

The suspenders are at the back as well.

Costiness: US$99

Available at the Black Milk shop.

p.s. If you have a blog, feel free to use any of my pics if you think your readers might get a kick out of them.

p.p.s Wanna be friends?

p.p.p.s Any thread issues, please let me know...

p.p.p.p.s What the hell is going on with Gold Spartans?! I have been swamped this week - and I am meant to be sewing like fifty of these things today!!! (Yeah... that ain't going to happen.)

 

YOU CAN NOW BUY SPIDERMANS! (And bodysuits...)

Hi guys

As mentioned, Spidermans are back - yipeeee! (I guess the Black Spartans will have to make a comeback soon too, right...?)

You can get them here. 

Seriously, you turn up to a club like this, you think any bouncer is going to turn you away? I think not!!!

Okay, let's talk bodysuits! As you probably figured out from my last post, I am now doing bodysuits. And as you probably figured out from my photos, they look unbelievably hot (IMHO!)

I'll start with releasing plain black ones (layering girls, all about the layering...) and then be moving on to some really exciting stuff (think shreds, spartans, cages, hell yeah!!!)

But of course if you want to look more porn-y, you could always go and get the American Apparel version.

====================================================================================

And... important note for all those who have bought stuff - I have had a couple of issues with my stitching lately (I bought some bad thread a while back) and so a few girls have had problems (two). 

So, let me say very clearly:

IF YOU BUY ANYTHING HERE, AND SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH YOUR ORDER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL IMMEDIATELY FIX IT OR REPLACE IT!

I want you guys to feel 100% happy. Black Milk is my little baby and I want you guys to love the brand as much as I do. :)  

A couple of pics for you from some wonderful girls... (I love asian girls.)
