Check out  Claire Hux‘s new music video for their new single Grab On, in which Natty Paint makes a cameo! The video was directed by Brian Morrison, who also filmed a few of Lazerbitch’s music videos.

Filming was a lot of fun, and I helped style the girls for the shoot.  I’ve been friends with the guys in Claire Hux for a while now and love working with them!

You can become a fan of Claire Hux on their Facebook Page.

And FYI, Claire Hux is named after Claire Huxtable of the Cosby Show, a very classy and sassy woman indeed!


Natty Halloween

Posted: November 16th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Brooklyn Mayhem, Steppin' Out, We Got Swagger | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

For Halloween, my friend and I incorporated Natty Paint into our costumes.  She was a bird and I was Katy Perry.  We made these wings for her bird costume with old sheets, feathers from boas, and fabric tape.  Check it out!


Tada! Minus the beak! You can get the NP Dot Top with the triangle lace back HERE and the Glitter Broncosi leggings HERE.  Both are part of out fall/winter 2010 line.

Feather aftermath!!

My costume was less involved.  I just got some flashy plastic jewelry at the dollar store and a wig.

I wore the acid bubble spandex dress from NP’s summer 2010 line.

Then we went to a 3rd Ward party in Bushwick, check out a recap of the event HERE.

One of my friends was the flight attendant from Chungking Express, and another was the death of written media.



Awesome at Artscape

Posted: July 20th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Baltimore Mayhem, Now That's Natty, We Got Swagger | Tags: , , , , , | 2 Comments »

This past weekend was Artscape in Baltimore, which meant tons of people enjoying every art form imaginable!  We came, sold, and conquered in the blazing heat at our DIY booth.  We sold over 100 pieces of clothing and got our name out. Make sure to like us on Facebook!

Here are some pics from the weekend.

We had all three lines out for sale.

We got a bubble machine for the booth, which little kids really enjoyed.

The reworked vintage skirts, selling for ONLY $24 were a hit!

Fellow designer Virginia, of Deda & Young, stopped by to say hi.  She was a tad taller than we remembered.

Party Came and Went…

…And it was awesome. We had so much fun with all of the performers, the art was great and we all partied in our favorite Natty Paint clothes. Gutter Magazine’s own J.M. Giordano was there to take some pictures to remind us of how fabulous it was:


The website looks awesome, the clothes look great and everyone donning it looks hot.

There were performances by Lazerbitch, Hounds, in every room, DJ Lemz, and Molly Siegel (of Ponytail). The Effervescent Collective incorporated their dancing to the acts and was able to add to the already great performances.

There was also art by Ann Everton, James Singewald, Karen Yasinsky, Cyle Metzger and Matthew Shelley.

We all had so much fun and we have plans to work with these artists in the very near future! Stay tuned!


Double blog!

What comes to mind when one thinks of Baltimore’s fashion scene? Who triumphs as commander of the B’more style squadron? Natty Paint emerged victorious without even having to don a pair of boxing gloves in the face-off (after all, we are eco-friendly lovers..not fighters..)

What are we talking about exactly? Just some blog-action on the part of Paulette Wilson, a senior Journalism major at Towson University, who was commissioned by a class at Towson to create a specific blog outlining and defining the Baltimore fashion scene: The companies, designers, and stores that comprise of the pulse of Baltimore’s very living and breathing iconoclastic fashion entity. Paulette selected Natty Paint as a very important Baltimore fashion force to be reckoned with! (Alongside the creator of Baltimore Fashion Week April Camlin)

Thus she will interview Natty Paint’s very own Emily Li Mandri in her attempt to define “Baltimore’s fashion scene through asking real experts around town”–and later write up her lovely blog- Ms. Charm’s Chic.

What exciting coverage! Don’t forget to check out both the blog itself and the interview with Natty Paint!
