To all the people that voted for us and told others to vote for us: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
British Airways is hooking Nivi Empowerment up with a conference in New York, then London, then a free flight to Chennai and back. We are going to use the trip to get new designs started, figure out logistics, and buy some of the coolest fabric that has ever existed. Get ready for Spring, because it is going to be good.

Rabekha saying thanks
Cami and EmmaJane recently saw this video and suggested that it needs to go on the blog. It was shot quite awhile ago, but shows the kind of ladies that we work with. Thanks for your help in supporting them.
In this video, Rabekha thanks Brett's mom for making the original pattern.

Nivi Skirts & Rag Dolls
Several weeks ago I sent one of our new girls skirts to one of my good friends in London. The skirt was for her two year old daughter, who I sadly haven't had the chance to meet yet {sigh} (Soon, hopefully. Her daughter is adorable, as you will see.). Louise showed her daughter, Adelaide, a picture of me so she knew who sent the skirt. Apparently, the skirt made enough of a good impression that I ended up with a rag doll named after me!! :) The story has made me smile for days on end. I loved the story so much that Louise was kind enough to film Adelaide talking about it. I've watched it a million times. Always makes me smile. Hopefully you love it as much.

New Faces
Nivi Empowerment attracts some pretty amazing people and in the past couple weeks we've had two new people join the team, Trevor Bodily and Cami Rooney. Both of them are a huge boost to the mission of Nivi Empowerment.
Trevor has experience in private equity, venture capital, and internet startups. He has a degree in accounting (cum laude, no less), and has provided accounting and finance services for over $120mm in M&A transactions through his employment at Novatek, a technology incubator and venture capital firm.
He is currently working on his CPA certification and managing ebtchef.com, an online meal planning and preparation service. He is extremely bright, and is excited to work in an industry where he can consider watching Project Runway as work related.
Cami Rooney is the girl that every other girl wants to be like. She has a degree in public health, and has studied microcredit. She also loves fashion, so her interests fit very well with Nivi Empowerment.
Cami is the new director of sales and marketing for California and she’s already on a roll. She has contacts with many people involved in fashion and has the goal of getting Nivi Empowerment on Oprah … So get your skirts now before Oprah talks about them and they are back-ordered for months.

Ideas for Styling the Skirts
One of our favorite fabrics - paper silk. It's gorgeous! Light, silky, crinkled texture and comes in tons of dreamy colors.
Aaaahh. {Yeah, that's a sigh...} One of my absolute favorite outfits worn by one of our models. Get tons of compliments every time I wear it.
We love the colors and patterns of the skirts made by Susan, Rabekha and Alice Mary! Here are some great ideas for styling the skirts that we wanted to share with you.
Thanks to Matt Barr of Barr Photography for the shoot and Alicia Richmond of Chic on a Shoestring for help with styling!

Salt Lake Gift Show Update
Last time I heard the word “cute” so many times? Hard to say. But I bet that a puppy show wouldn’t have that word said as much as I heard it at the Nivi Empowerment booth the past few days.
The Salt Lake Gift show was awesome. We’ve gotten lots of admirers, buyers, and bulk orders. Shoot, the lady that was checking ID at the door to the show even sneaked away for a second to buy a skirt that she immediately put on and wore for the rest of the day.
The designs and beautiful fabrics are hitting the mark, but still the most important thing is the ladies behind the products. Keep up to date with them on Niviempowerment.com.

Just in time
It should get here on Tuesday or Wednesday, according to the shipping company. Good thing too, because the Salt Lake Gift Show starts on Thursday.
The new shipment has quite a few of the skirts that have sold out, plus a couple new designs that we are anxious to show. In just a couple days, Nickesh, Alice Mary, Susan, and Rabekha have figured out the new designs, got the fabric, put the skirts and dresses together, done the quality check, and had them shipped. They worked like crazy to get it done. Here are a few notes from my conversation with Nickesh earlier tonight:
Rabekha is very creative and loves making new designs work. She has en eye for quality and wants to make sure that she does the job right. She's passionate about her work.
Alice Mary is now the breadwinner for her family since her sister got married. She is using this weekend to think of new goals to better her life and that of her family. She also likes working on new designs and often works closely with Rabekha.
Susan sews very efficiently and also loves the new designs. When she was done with the new dress she showed it to her friends and family and they LOVED it.
We hope that you love the new designs too. They both come from The Salt Lake Fashion Institute and they have gotten great reception so far. Look for them online, or on Fridays at Thanksgiving Point starting on August 13th.
