Baby Gags The fun funny fabulous concept known as Silly Souls was hatched in 2000 and launched in 2002, originally branded as babygags. The line was the original irreverent funny line of apparel and accessories for the coolest babies. The company evolved to a more whimsical silly style and rebranded as Silly Souls when they launched the super baby shoe line. Across the product range the brands goal remains to inspire laughter and the sunny funny side of parenthood and the silly personalities that each baby comes with. The Silly Souls product line continues to grow and now includes products for kids 0-6 years old including; bodysuits, t-shirts, hats, bibs, bottles, dish sets, birth announcements, the silliest socks, the coolest baby shoes, and the best big brother and sister ‘sibling rivalry’ gifts. Silly Souls was founded by Shelley Foster. Shelley, originally from Alberta Canada completed her international MBA. She first went to Latin America to work in new business development, and shortly after she was offered a position in the US with Nike Inc. in their new business/equipment division. Here she was able to refine her new business strategy skills and learn the product creation and branding game, and then cut her teeth at taking many great concepts to market including launching the NikeTrainingGear and NikeFitnessGear lines. Matching her business skills with her lifestyle she was then recruited to work in the surf industry where she managed Reef Brazil’s women’s division and launched their kids footwear line. After learning how to make products from A-Z she was looking to start her own business, and the baby biz offered a fun kick start to her entrepreneurial path. So she could maintain a day job to fund the project for the first four years after the baby biz hatched, Shelley quickly rounded out her initial crew with a few good people including sales whiz mom Colleen Foster to help her get the company off the ground. Over 8 years later the line is supported by a network of sales representatives in US and Canada and international distribution partners in Europe and Asia, which service over 1000 boutique customers, and key online retail partners.

Iron Fist The idea started in San Diego, California in 2001 amongst two friends from South Africa, Mike and Travis. With a long history in skateboarding, surfing, art, music and street culture the guys wanted to create clothing they couldn't find anywhere else. They wanted to return to the energy and brand attitude of the rebellious years, when skateboarders lived on the streets and mohicans would get you kicked out of Disneyland. In the short space of 8 years Iron Fist has grown larger than our wildest dreams, with international distribution in UK, Europe, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, the Middle East and Russia and retailers in nearly every major city in the world. Iron Fist has two flagship stores in Rosebank, Johannesburg and Durban, South Africa and Czech Republic with plans to open more in the future. Iron Fist is by no means an ordinary clothing brand; its artwork and styling have set it apart from many of its streetwear counterparts. We started making clothes because we felt like it. Iron Fist is impulsive, raw and unapologetic. Within our clothing you will find outbursts of obnoxious color mixed with raw and dirty tattoo inspired street art. Refusing to be pigeonholed into a skate, punk, hip hop or tattoo genre, Iron Fist has grown from strength to strength purely because of its diversity and constantly innovative approach to each season. Renowned for quality product with exceptional artwork from a barrage of some of the world's best underground and street artists, Iron Fist is not for everyone, and we like it that way. Our customer is an individual, a person who creates their own style. Buy it if you like it, buy it because it means something to you or someday will, buy it because you’ve never quite seen anything else like it.

Made By Humans is an award winning designer and distributor of contemporary gift ware, home and office accessories and stationery and promotional items. We offer unique products that have a distinctively modern look, that are functional and last but not least, affordable. Made By Humans has been in business since 1989. We started out as a company specializing in the design and production of 3-dimensional puzzles. They were entirely made by hand from different types of natural wood. Although successful, we decided to try out something completely different after a number of years and introduced a rather innovative line of flower vases. They were made from high-tech, modern materials such as resin, thermoplastic rubber and acrylic. The name Made By Humans serves as a reminder. Our company no longer makes handcrafted products. But no matter how much we, as a company – and all of us together as a society – have come to rely on modern technology, humans are still meant to be in charge of that technology, rather than the other way around. Technology should be a mere tool for human purposes. Made By Humans is based in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. |

The genesis of The Nightmare Before Christmas started with a poem written by Tim Burton when he was only a Disney animator in the early 1980s. With the success of Vincent in 1982, Disney started to consider The Nightmare Before Christmas as either a short subject or 30-minute television special. Over the years, Burton's thoughts regularly returned to the project and in 1990, Burton and Disney made a development deal. After the release, the film developed a large cult following resulting in theme park rides and all types of merchandise including clothing, household items, costumes and action figures. Philcos, who originally was a supplier of souvenir shirts to stores in downtown Toronto and Niagara Falls (out of the back of a station wagon no less), during this time has grown to become the premier source for cool merchandise in Canada picked up the Nightmare Before Christmas brand and has had great success with the line. Philcos is located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. |

Numph The new Danish clothes brand nümph is the result of the dream of seven young women. A businessman gave them the opportunity to create their ideal type of clothes. They are young and creative. They used to work for major Danish fashion companies, where they yearned for making work really fun: to create their ideal type of clothes that they would wish to pull out of the wardrobe cabinet time and again. Feminine, yet edgy. Faultless, yet affordable. Design and tailor details, but still useful on a rainy Tuesday. CEO of Solid A/S Per Johansen gave them the opportunity, and the seven women jumped at the offer at once. This resulted in the new Danish brand nümph. nümph is the result of the dreams and skills of these seven young women. Each woman is a specialist within design, print, graphic and marketing. Together they are so much more, though: they are indeed a dream come true. They take part in building the brand from scratch and therefore have particular obligations towards each other: they agree that they will change their course, if one day their hearts are no longer in the project. nümph clothes should not only reach the shelves but also touch the heart of the girl who will wear the clothes. Gorgeous stores in Denmark, Norway and the rest of Europe will sell the clothes. Thus, many girls will take pleasure in the design of the nymphs. The seven women behind nümph have been given free play and this has resulted in a strong, self-confident and super useful brand. Their first collection consists of 120 styles, which will continuously provide stores with new input. Just the thing to tune up the somewhat drab wardrobe. Just the thing to lighten up a girl's Thursday, as the prices will still allow her to enjoy a couple of mojitos or buy a bouquet of white tulips for her girl friend. This small, daily luxury that we can all afford. Six annual collections and creative input from seven professional female designers make nümph a strong and very personal brand. Exactly like the nymphs in the fairy-tales who are strong as giants and gentle as angels, nümph is not only one girl, one style, but many opportunities to create one's own personal look. Numph head office is located in Kolding, Denmark. |

Steady Clothing Founded in 1994 by Joshua Brownfield and Eric Anthony, Steady Clothing is a vintage-inspired, rocker-chic clothing line that prides itself on cutting-edge designs, high quality and unmatched customer service. The Company focuses on independent retail stores to preserve the original, edgy style that it first envisioned. Additionally, Steady is made in the USA: About 95 percent of Steady’s lines are manufactured domestically. The company began by making T-shirts, windbreakers, shorts and corduroy pants targeted toward a young, hip Generation X audience. Offering button-up shirts didn’t quite appeal to its consumers at the time. Five years later as the style of bright-colored, button-up shirts became the rage in the hip club scene, Steady’s popularity began to flourish. Steady has outfitted and created merchandise for the likes of Jessica Simpson, Green Day, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, B.B. King, and the hit television show Overhaulin.’ In addition, the brand’s unique style is found outfitting the staff of the House of Blues, Yard House, The Improv and many local bars and restaurants throughout the United States and Canada. |

Uglydoll From the creative minds of two love struck artists David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim emerge the Uglydoll family. What started as a drawing of a playful orange character known as Wage has turned into a whole new world of fun. In 2001, when David's soon to be wife and creative partner Sun-Min had to return to Korea, he sent her many "I miss you" letters with his little Wage character drawn at the bottom. Sun-Min sewed Wage into a plush doll and sent him to David as a surprise gift. David asked Sun-Min to sew a couple more for the Giant Robot store in Los Angeles and they sold out in one day! A very excited Sun-Min sewed many more and those sold just as fast! Sun-Min and David then began to pull more characters from the Uglyverse, a universe where UGLY meant unique and special, to translate into plush Uglydolls. They both met again at their very first Uglydoll Toy Fair booth (a small 6x6 booth made of felt and wood) in New York, where they would go on to win Toy Of The Year 4 years later. Now the award-winning Uglydoll characters are available in a variety of sizes and styles of plush, and are available at specialty retailers worldwide, and you can learn all about the Uglyverse through the Ugly Guides published by Random House. Ugly Dolls are based out of Edison, New Jersey, U.S.A. |
