Thank you from Sasha Alexander-Ponti

Lisa,

Thank you so much. I love your collection and would love something for Lucia.
As she is a particular little girl and choses her own clothes already, the three pieces I saw that stood out to me as something she would wear are the fushia wrap dress with the bow in front, the dresses that you have hanging in the picture below in either black or light blue, or the tops in light blue or fushia or black.. the skirts are gorgeous too in fushia or yellow.

Congratulations and I wish you the best with this. I love Sunset Kids so i am thrilled you are selling there.

Much Appreciation
Sasha Alexander-Ponti

The gorgeous Sasha Alexander-Ponti (star of Yes Man, He's Just Not that Into You, Mission Impossible III & TV's NCIS)is married to Edoardo Ponti (Director/Writer), who is the son of Sofia Loren & producer Carlo Ponti....together they have a beautiful little girl, Lucia who is 2 years 9 months old....what a Gorgeous family!

Actress Shirly Brener and her gorgeous and very stylish daughter, Mila. I spotted Mila first wearing a black fur trimmed hooded puffer vest, charcoal heather cropped pants and black motorcycle boots....I said, "Who does she belong to...she's my perfect customer...I have to get her to wear Saurette". Along came, equally stylish mom, Shirly, who was in Righteous Kill with Robert DeNiro & Al Pacino and has several movies in post production at the moment. Shirly & I have been in contact since the show and I hope to be able to add Mila to my list of clients.

Boom Boom Room Gifting Suite for the Golden Globes

I had the honor of being invited to the children's gifting event, The Boom Boom Room 2009 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, last weekend. This exclusive event takes place 2 days prior to the Golden Globe's and is produced by Philanthropist and Celebrity style maven, Jayneoni Moore.


The event ran Friday & Saturday, January 11/12 from 11-6 each day and included a full list of celebrities and press. I was joined at the show by my LA representative & TWIG showroom owner, Becca Gillmore. We set up a table and a display showcasing some of the key pieces from Saurette's Spring 2009 collection as well as some specially made items exclusive to the attendees of the Boom Boom Room.

Throughout the 2 day event, Becca and I became more and more excited by the list of people stopping by. I had a great encounter with Kathy Hilton who was shopping for her nieces. She loved the pale blue embroidered babydoll top, but needed it in a size XS, which I did not have at the show. I told her I'd be happy to send it to her when I got back to NY and she replied "you promise"! I of course wouldn't pass up the chance to get my collection on some of her gorgeous family....I'll be sending that one and more!









I also had the pleasure of meeting actress Shirly Brener and her gorgeous and very stylish daughter, Mila. Shirly was in Righteous Kill with Robert DeNiro & Al Pacino and has several movies in post production at the moment. Shirly & I have been in contact since the show and I hope to be able to add Mila to my list of clients.

"hey there, i LOVE LOVE LOVE your stuff and it looks so great to Mila definately send whatever you like and i promise that next time Mila has a red carpet event i'll dress her in your clothes.

2009 Golden Globe Awards Boom Boom Room Celebrity Gifting Suite Features Saurette

New York, NY - January 9, 2009 - Saurette is presenting the best of its 2009 Spring collection at this year's Boom Boom Room Baby and Big Kid Villa in an invite-only two day event leading up to the Golden Globe Awards. The event presents an opportunity to give celebrities and the media an exclusive sneak peek at Saurette's feminine "petite version of mom" collection prior to its March 2009 launch.

The annual Boom Boom Room gifting suite event, founded by celebrity kiddie swag expert Jayneoni Moore, gathers elite brands of baby, kid and family friendly products to connect celebrities and the media with the must-have items for the entire family. Lisa Kanouse, founder and creative director of Saurette, received an exclusive invitation to present her sophisticated children's clothing line at this year's event taking place January 9th and 10th in Los Angeles CA. “I am so honored to have been asked to be one of the sponsors for the Boom Boom Room. This is a fantastic opportunity to present Saurette to key targeted customers, hip moms, dads, aunts, etc, who are looking for a more modern brand to dress their kids. I can’t thank Jayneoni enough for inviting me!”

Lisa Kanouse set out to create a "mini me" collection inspired by mom's own wardrobe, "I think modern parents want their children to look as good as they do. By offering little girl’s an opportunity to dress more like mom, it offers a fresh approach to dressing little girls." Kanouse was influenced by current trends on the runway and contemporary markets. Her collection includes elegant and flirty elements like "exploded/large florals, empire waistlines and blouson sleeves while still keeping childlike styling in mind."

Saurette, which is French for "swan", is set to launch in March 2009 and has already received rave reviews, including the prestigious Best in Show award at the ENK Children's Club Spring 2009 Show. The collection has also garnered attention from Earnshaw's, the premier media resource serving the children's market. The attention Kanouse's line has already garnered is a sure fire indicator of its high end appeal assuring Saurette a comfortable spot in celebrity tot wardrobes.
