On February 26th, The incredible film United States vs. Billie Holiday premiered on Hulu starring singer & actress, Andra Day. Her incredible performance made Golden Globes history as Andra won the Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture drama. For those who don't understand how important this win really is, Andra is the second black woman in history to win a golden globe. Also, this was Andra's first film! What an incredible achievement, and within just a weeks time!

Last week while touring to promote the film, Andra Day wore our Carmen set for the Wendy Williams show! We were flooded with screenshots and dm's of the star who looked gorgeous by the way (Her hair was done by our talented friend @hisvintagetouch !). We can't begin to explain the magnitude of the gratitude we have for Miss Day and the fact that she has been shopping with us since we started our brand in 2019.

Thank you Miss Andra Day, for your support, your voice, your music, this film, and your incredible influence on not just POC, but the WORLD. May you continue to shine bright and light the way for the youth of today. We love you!

Jasmin Rodriguez, a proud Puerto Rican designer born & raised in New York City, originally launched her widely popular blog, Vintage Vandalizm, in 2008, showcasing her sinfully seductive style and creativity as a multimedia artist and muse.

What started out as an online hobby capturing her passion for old Hollywood and thrifting quickly transformed into a successful platform, reaching thousands of readers from across the globe, helping to lead the neo-retro movement impacting the fashion industry.

Today, Rodriguez is determined to honor the seemingly forgotten ethnic pinups from our past through her line.

“My whole life, I have always spoken to people through my personal style,” said Rodriguez. “I have always celebrated individualism. Clothing has always empowered me. But the dream was to see women wear my designs and also become empowered. I want them to become fearless and still look fierce.

“Ultimately, my goal is to illustrate my passions through clothes as one of the few Puerto Rican designers in the world.”
