La Petite Marmoset 1 Year Anniversary Party

The LPM 1 Year Anniversary Party (held at Tabaq on U Street) felt like a family reunion. That is if all your relatives were really creative amazing dressers that also brought their stylish friends to the party. There were already plenty of crazy memories to talk about, remember that photo shoot on H Street NE?!

We met Katherine Martinez, the founder of La Petite Marmoset, last October - just as she was ramping up her reconstructed vintage business. Now a few months later she has a business partner and co-creative director in Ashley Thomas (possibly the sweetest person to ever walk the earth), a pack of beautiful models that enthusiastically wear her clothes, and adoring fans. Still this is only the beginning; LPM just launched their new website LaPetiteMarmoset.com. We look forward to another year of La Petite Marmoset and are excited for future collaborations!

Congratulations to Katherine Martinez and Ashley Thomas of LPM for 1 year in business!

It’s not an LPM party unless there’s cupcakes:

La Petite Marmoset Holiday Lookbook 2011 Video

The official La Petite Marmoset Holiday Lookbook 2011 video was shot and edited by the talented Caroline Lacey. This video is the product of a concept dreamed up by Katherine and the ladies of Spicy Candy DC, and a perfect complement to the pictures we took. With so many locations, models and wardrobe changes to account for, plus an always-in-the-way TPWP photographer, we find it wondrous that Caroline so magically documented the lookbook’s moments. Enjoy.

Models: Morgan Mayes, Tamika Wilkins, Emma Jade, Mansi Mehta, and William Jovel
