A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to shoot Miss Dinah DeRosa  in my home for Heartbreaker and Heartbreaker Haute.  I've recently had to take photography into my own hands for our company and I'm learning more and more as I go along.  It's a lot of fun, creative, and also a ton of work. I have a GREAT appreciation for photographers as well as models. I've been on both sides of the camera and I know how much

Pin up or pinup images got their name from the way that they were "pinned up" on the walls of barracks, bunkers, office walls, ships, and even planes during war time. These alluring photos and illustrations were created to help raise the, uh, "morale" of the many young men serving long, dangerous tours away from friends, family, and love. Winston Churchill jokingly dubbed Jane, a blonde cartoon pin up drawn in the Daily Mirror Newspaper 'Britain's secret weapon.' War time

Mid century America was crazy for all things tropical and Hawaiian. Many served in the South Pacific during World War II, and returned home with tales of palm trees and rum. Hawaii's 1959 statehood and the advent of quick and more affordable jet travel made it a popular - yet still exotic - travel destination. "Trader Vic" Bergeron opened his first restaurant in California in 1934, serving an approximation of Cantonese food and concocting cocktails like the Mai Tai. All

The spring 2013 runway shows were all about prints. From gingham and plaids at Kate Spade, to stripes, lace, and elaborate botanicals at Dolce and Gabbana. Even the often severe Prada featured more abstract and geometric florals. Subculture favorite Betsey Johnson had stylized cherries, and sharp, high-contrast florals in feminine shapes. Heartbreaker Fashion has always featured bold and unique prints, and our current collections are no exception - we have our own unique takes on these runway trends.
Gingham is a

For many years, I had my "work clothes" and my "real clothes." My work clothes were your typical boring unflattering dress pants, ill-fitting collared shirts, and floppy cardigan sweaters that I had somehow decided were what office jobs required. I put much more thought and effort into my "real clothes" and felt more comfortable in the unique dresses and outfits I wore to fun events with my friends.
I have since largely integrated my work wardrobe and my "real clothes." I

I want to address something that we feel strongly about and that is sweatshop labor. We believe in paying people fair wages and providing a comfortable work environment for our employees. Not just because it's the law, but because we want to! We know that happy employees makes good quality products

Hello Heartbreakers,
It seems not-so long ago that I was sitting in a hallway at Cal State Fullerton waiting for my next class to start. I spent many hours in my sketch book coming up with new designs; simple things to get Heartbreaker started. Back in those days, we were only selling on eBay and Live Journal communities.  The Heartbreaker Halter Dress, The Heartbreaker Halter Top, Aline Skirt, and Sweetie dress were the very first items in our line.  I can

Prom as we know it today has is origins in formal banquets that universities held in spring for their graduating classes. The popularity of Prom increased with American prosperity and the cult of the teenager in the  mid-twentieth century. Prom fashion has thankfully become more personal and flexible in recent years - no longer is it required to have your satin shoes dyed exactly to match.
