If you were reading M.I.S.S. back in March, then you’re familiar with our “Women Making History” feature where we interview talented ladies who are paving paths and doing great things. We know that women make history throughout the year so we decided to make this an ongoing feature to highlight ladies that work hard behind the scenes. Don’t worry, we’ll have a different project for you next March to honor Women’s History Month.

This week, we are featuring Mel from Borougbred, a ladies’ streetwear line.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mel a few years back at the MAGIC tradeshow. I loved her line from the moment I heard the name, BoroughBred, and she makes some of the best ladies’ graphic tees around. A true NYer at heart, her love of being “borough bred” shines through in all of her work. Take a look and learn . . .

Check out pics of her tees and beautiful son after the jump . . .

I know, I know MAGIC was 2 weeks ago but I just unpacked so leave me alone. One of the best parts of going to the show is the free stuff. We got so much great stuff and it’s always cool to see what new promo item companies come up with. This past show had a clear winner. The best promo of MAGIC this year goes to 10 Deep. Their promo was so well thought out and perfect for Vegas. It consisted of a black bag (that you could use as a laptop bag), a t-shirt and a “MAGIC survival kit” which included a lighter (to “wake and bake”), gum to keep your breathe fresh (speak freely), a toothbrush, sunglasses and a condom - all things that most people use at some point or another in Vegas.

Check out the other great stuff after the jump . . .
