The NYLO Line
December 19, 2007
Hello my little fashionistas,
I hope this finds you happy and healthy, cause everyone around me seems to be grumpy and sick… yuck. I wanted to pass on some lookbook images from my collaboration with NYLO Hotels, the project where I designed a collection to be used by all the front line staff (waiters, hostess, front desk and servers), but will also be sold in boutiques in every hotel, as well as online at www.nylohotels.com! The first NYLO opens in a week down in Texas, 50 by 2010, and 150 are planned to open in America when all is said and done – and they’re all wearing my designs! Oh, and I almost forgot, I also designed this great handbag/luggage line for men and women that will be sold along with the rotating collection (no worries, no wooden handles).
It’s been a great project to work on, and I really do love the concept of NYLO and I especially felt that the “uniforms” needed a complete overhaul. It was such a huge undertaking because of the high demands of the projects: I needed to design clothing that was wearable in all climates (northeast to the southwest), a huge range of body types, styles that mix-n-matched/layered with one another and were also, of course, comfortable to wear. I worked in the hospitality industry for years and know for a fact that I HATED wearing my itchy polyester shirt and boxy pleated black trousers, besides, the customers didn’t think it was anything special either.
There are conservative pieces for more modest customers, and some fun, flirty ones for the younger crowd, and remember to keep in mind that the collection is meant to be layered, so even though some of the looks are shown with bear arms, bare legs, etc. the employees will be more put-together. It was quite a task designing for a range of body types, but also clothing that would be used from the chilly north-east to the suffocating south-west.

Merry Christmas, Daniel & to all your wonderful friends!
First, I love what you came up with for NYLO. Having worked in the "hospitality" field myself I must say, thank goodness that companies are finally thinking this way and giving the job of designing "a uniform" to someone who is willing to look outside the traditional box and come up with something fresh and attractive.
While I was working publically in the hospitality field, not a week went by that several men (alway men for some reason) would say to me, "You're a cute girl and THAT is the ugliest dress I've ever seen!" Or the likes of . . .
I like that you have several shapes for the various body types plus the uni-sex traits of the clothes actually work for both men and women. Great job! Loved the photos - what fun. Congratulations.
Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and the New Year sees you through more successes and happiness.
Namaste, Ann

Daniel,
The line looks so amazing. It seems to break the average-looking standard among hotels right now, and besides that, it's a complete opposite of xenophobic appearances. I can't wait until I can purchase some luggage from your collection!
Ohhhhh, and Happy New Year! I'm sure you'll be just as successful in 2008 as you already have been.........
