Unfortunately we didn’t reach our goal in our kickstarter campaign. One way or another, we’ll be back. We’ll be pushing forward on our site, and pinching pennies to get everything else done in time. When? Who knows, but you’ll see us soon. Thank you to highvoltagemagazine their staff and affiliates for your support, to Pump Merch, to Low Life Knives, and birdtrouble for backing and supporting this little brand. Thank you to each of our backers and the staff member that chose us to be on the front page, without your support we could not have raised the $2157.00 that we did. It means so very much to me that friends and strangers can see my vision to create something out of nothing. It blows me away to think that so many people like and appreciate what I do. This has been one of the most overwhelming experiences of my life, but it’s also been exciting at times. DMC started in my living room with a sharpie and a bulk pack of Hanes tees from WalMart on a Saturday afternoon. At the time I didn’t think that it would lead me to so much more. That I’d love it so much, and that one day the vision of what it could be would hit me like a ton of bricks. I still hold onto that, and know that one day soon it’ll all come together Patience will be an issue, but, if it’s not one thing it’s another!/ Some people think DMC is weird, or not original enough. In a world full of skull covered, beddazled , stuff there’s us. Weird as we may be we have one motive and that is creating something great for you to be a walking canvas, to give you something that is uniquely yours. We’ll continue to do just that in time.

The DMae Clothing Kickstarter campaign ( http://kck.st/1fmDePb )...

Sat, 11 Jul 2015 11:40:15 -0400

The DMae Clothing Kickstarter campaign ( http://kck.st/1fmDePb ) ends in 2 days, and was dubbed a Kickstarter Staff Pick within the first few hours of going live. My goal through the campaign (http://kck.st/1fmDePb ) is to raise $3,000.00 by July 14, 2015. ALL of the funding is to go directly back into the brand so that we can finalize new branding materials, create a new website equipped with a blog and MOST IMPORTANTLY our new store that will cut out the middle man ( I.e. Etsy.) The funding will also allow us to get our first lookbook shot, incorporate larger sizes to the line ( we currently offer sizes sm-lg,) introduce new colors in addition to our basic white tees totes and hoodies, adding vintage tees and jackets to the line, adding new accessories and hand sewn goods to the line, and the MOST exciting part our first ever kids line Suggapinin!!!! This is something that has stolen my heart, takes up all my time, energy, and dreams. I cannot think of a better job than DMC and probably won’t find one. Last night the campaign hit a little over 50% and with 2 days to go I NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!! If you’re unable to give please become a fan on Facebook (http://facebook.com/itsdmaeclothing ) and share the pinned post at the top of our page, share the information on twitter, tumblr, instagram, and whatever other social networks you use.

FYI! Our #kickstarter campaign launches May 15th!!!!!! #DMaeClothing has been my true passion for the past 12 + years, I daydream about it so much I often find myself looking off into space thinking of what the future holds for my little (soon to be big ) brand. I’ve never felt so passionate, or been so focused as I am when bringing the motto “Wear more art” to fruition. I can’t imagine doing anything else. 🙌THIS IS IT!🙌 I’m taking a step on faith and asking that you support my dream of being able to create these #oneofakind #handpainted pieces to you and yours FULL-TIME!! #dmaeclothing #wearmoreart #uniquelyyours #kickstartercampaign #art #nj #pa #philadelphia #indiebusiness #shopsmall #blackownedbusiness #smallbudiness #art #handpainted #clothing

It's just a setback, not the end

Mon, 16 Jun 2014 07:00:18 -0400

Good Morning,

Since the announcement of my kickstarter campaign, the work has not been nonstop. All of my free time has been devoted to number crunching, editing, emailing, entering and re entering information, and so much more. Although ther have been times where I’ve fallen asleep with my hands still on the keyboard, in mid conversation, and/or while eating….I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Things will come together, fall in line, and the outcome will be great! DMae is my baby and these past few months have really shown me that I’m ready and able to do anything needed to get it to the place I envision it to be.So, please do me this favor. Keep and eye out for new info here ,on facebook, and twitter. And hold me and DMC in your thought, see me pushing through the setbacks and becoming stronger for it. There are some REALLY amazing brands backing us up because they believe in DMae just as much as I do, and I’m grateful for it.

More to come!

What Happens Next: The Future of DMae Clothing

Mon, 02 Jun 2014 22:10:46 -0400

Hello everyone!

I know! The blog has been quiet for quite some time, and with good reason. The past 8-10 months have been spent planning, sketching, and envisioning what is to become of DMae Clothing and my relationship with it. Art has always been a first love of mine, something I can go to and reach for when I need to work out how I’m feeling. Its been a constant companion, a hobby, something I daydream about, my obsession.

How does this all relate to DMae? The months that have past have been spent learning about business, tapping the minds of some of the businesswomen I admire on pulling through, making a statement, and keeping a cool head. The end result? Taking DMae Clothing to the level I’ve always envisioned for it. To go from a hobby to a brand that you go to for beautiful, unique, limited edition clothing and accessories, with an edge that can’t be found anywhere else.

DMae is named after my MomMom Dora Mae Holmes, a woman full of love, wisdom and grace. She always encouraged me all to be true to myself and use my gifts. She never wasted a second on regret, fear or shame, she was who she was, and she was AMAZING. With the lessons learned from her, my family and friends I set out to make a way for myself and my art. And that’s where you come in… I’m excited to announce that DMae Clothing will be launching a Kickstarter campaign on June 16th!!!! I’ve partnered with some cool companies and artists to bring you some rad tiers. I hope you can help me with my dream.

Soon

How About We Do Some Catching Up

Sun, 24 Nov 2013 16:25:24 -0500

Hello All!

It’s been a while since my last blog, and I wanted to take the time to let you know how things have been going not only for DMae,but, myself as well! This past summer I became a Raw Artist, and was given the opportunity to put on my first fashion show. New pieces were created specifically for the show, and made their debut that night. It was a crazy, but amazing, experience! Makeup was provided by Kissed By Carly, styling & hair by myself, and addition help by my cousins Hireem and Dominic.

I arrived at the venue a bit later than expected, got my models together, did our walk through, makeup and hair, and final styling just in time to get a few photos done of everyone. I was finally able to sit down and take a breathe, after spending the week finalizing makeup and hair options, having models drop out, finding new models, and getting an extra model the day of the show! My nerves were shot to say the less, and….I ended up having to go to the ER right as folks were being let into the venue. Although I wasn’t able to see it all come together in the way I dreamed, my friends and family were able to get some great photos and told me all about it. I’m doing ok, still recovering, and have more doctor’s appointments to follow up and make sure I’m doing alright.

I, along with family and friends, participated in the Philadelphia Kidney Walk at the Philadelphia Zoo in October. My job allowed me to hold a fundraiser bake sale for three days. All of the money made at the bake sale went directly to the National Kidney Foundation, all in all we raised $1,205.00!!!!!! This is something I plan on doing every year, even after my mom receives her transplant, and DMae will continue to have sales benefiting the NKF.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support DMae and those who donated a ticket for the Raw presentation. A big thank you to those you helped out at the bake sale as well!!

Below you’ll find our runway presentation, and an interview with Raw will be posted in January, ENJOY!!!!!!
