As promised, here are some sneak peeks from our New York City adventure. Three amazing women, one killer filmmaker, one genius photographer and the Quiksilver Women’s team.
What’s to come? You will have to be patient.. but let’s just say we played dress up with a few New York Fashion Insiders!
I know that officially it’s not even summer yet, but Quiksilver Women’s Fall Collection hits stores July 15th. You may be wearing your cut-off denim shorts, but if you hit up the shops this summer you will find yourself drawn to trying on plaid dresses, jackets to layer it up, and alluring colors of autumn.
The Spring/Summer Collection was introduced with our incredible “It Girls” of the West Coast, and for Fall we didn’t want the other Coast to feel left out – so we jumped on a plane and landed in the city that never sleeps – New York!
The moment I stepped out into the unusually cool night air and hailed a cab, the energy of the city took over. Style was crawling up and down the streets, and inspiration lurked around each corner. I knew we had picked the best place for the Fall Collection to come alive.
More to come….

San Sebastian never looked so chic! Spotted among the relaxed and cool “bros” of the San Sebastian Surf Film Festival, this woman took style to a new level.
Pairing the Sixty Forty dress (Fall 09) with the sweet Somerset Cardigan and nude strappy wedges, she exudes summer chic. Take note from this fabulous woman and punctuate a bold color with nude layers – you will instantly feel oh-so-sexy!
Her platinum blond tresses are the first thing you notice as she sits down next to you, but as soon as the word “wicked” pops out of her mouth you know you are sitting next to a full on rock-chick.
This New Zealand girl made her mark on the music world at 16 years old, when she won a US-based International Songwriting Contest. Her song “Hallelujah” struck a cord with it poignant lyrics as she poured out the pain she experienced after losing her father to cancer.
She has gone on to become a singer/songwriter known all through New Zealand and Australia, and with her alluring sound she is now casting her “wicked” spell throughout the US.
Quiksilver Womens Australia grabbed the opportunity to have her represent the brand and showcase the kind of woman who rocks out in our clothes.
Her style is Rock-and-Roll meets Little Bow Peep. She mixes charcoal rimmed eyes with bright and happy bows and tops it all off with her shock-white hair. She is one to watch and definitely one to hear.
She is our Quiksilver Woman of the Week.. Gin Wigmore.
A note from our E.P.I.C. girls…
“We just wanted to fill you in on what’s been going on with E.P.I.C. lately! We recently had a wine tasting event in NYC that was a huge success, raising almost $2000 that will go directly towards the drilling of our next two wells in Kibebe and Kibaha, Tanzania this August! Everyone who came to support had a great time, thanks to Moore Brothers, who kindly donated the space and the wine, and Samantha Phillips with Eleanor’s Garden Catering who provided us with some DELICIOUS food!
We can’t wait for the upcoming Quiksilver Women party on June 17th! See everyone soon.
Love – Alexi and Tennille

It is our Quiksilver Retailer Exposé.. and this week we are spotlighting a Jersey City gem, Tia’s Place!
Tucked away in the historic downtown of Jersey City, sits Tia’s Place. The owner, Megan O’Sullivan, has created her own vision of a personalized shopping experience.

A girl doesn’t need an excuse to play dress up, and playing dress up has never been more fun!
American Rag, our featured retailer, opened their doors for an evening of “girliness”. With racks of Quiksilver Women’s romantic dresses, piles of nautical tops and a table of vintage accessories – everyone was happy to layer on chic and pretty looks for summer.
Stylist and Fashion Editor, Beth Jones, was on site to add a little spice to each and every look – everything from adding a waist-cinching belt to the perfect floppy hat!
Twirling was caught on camera and printed as Polaroid party favors – soon to be tacked on the mirror in each girl’s own dressing room where her version of “dressing up” takes place every day.
