Double Talk

After a fun and fashionable start to the year, it’s almost time to move on from Maria. But before we bid our bandidas farewell, we asked DDR designer Cheryl McMullen about her “unobvious” favorites from the first collection of 2021.

Tomorrow (3/8) is International Women’s Day, “a day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, [and] also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.” Sonica Sarna, a longtime partner and friend of DDR, is doing all of the above.

Mark your calendars, gals – we’re launching our next Cowgirl Closets collection on Thursday, March 11th, complete with a virtual Happy (half) Hour featuring Prickly Pear Margaritas!

Our beloved photographer, Mitchell Franz, always does a phenomenal job capturing the clothing and the concepts behind each collection, but sometimes you can’t truly appreciate the elegance or the essence of a garment until you see it in motion.

The weather’s warming up, the pandemic is slowing down, and with any luck, this spring/summer will see a revival of the most wonderful time of the year: wedding season! Whether you’re house party, wedding party, or the bride herself – or even just in attendance, for that matter – your outfit is on display. And who doesn’t want to dress to impress?

Learn how style guru Lisa Martensen worked her magic to turn our beauties into bandidas. (Plus a hot tip on a miracle product and Lisa’s never-leave-home-without-it product.)

Reviews are underrated. We cannot stress it enough how helpful they are not only to us, but to each other! They make the product and the process better. Cheryl and Mitchell break down the FAQs of reviewing your DDR.

From the screen-printed scenes to the styles of stitching, the Maria collection channels a vibe of Old Mexico. The same is true for the color palette.

Salma Hayek. Penelope Cruz. And randomly, Dwight Yoakum. The cast of Bandidas is about as multifarious as its characters. The plot is a subversive social statement wrapped in snarky comedy, dipped in slapstick stunt work, and costumed in corsets. For us, it’s that last part.
