Are You A Young Fabulous and Broke Gal?

Here’s some Fashion Industry News for you:

Young Fabulous & Broke, has retained our friends at MHA Media for national public relations representation. YFB offers up street chic to loungewear. Even though we are not young, fabulous and are only a little bit broke, we checked it out and found these two items which we love, love, love and would totally wear. So there.

Feminine dresses that flow, bohemian-chic skirts, cozy sweat pants and flirty tops define Young Fabulous & Broke. Made from soft Modelles, YFB pieces fit like a glove while retaining their luxe comfort. According to MHA: The Young Fabulous & Broke girl is a girl-about-town who has not quite mastered the art of a budget, and more often than not, blows all of her money on clothes. And why wouldn’t she? After all, a girl’s gotta have priorities. Fittingly, Young Fabulous & Broke’s logo features two twenty-somethings coming home after a long night of partying, but the line fits the sensibility of all ages.

Young Fabulous & Broke can be found at Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and Nordstrom; and chic boutiques such as Madison, Traffic, Planet Blue, Fred Segal and Atrium, among others. Prices range from $80 to $300.
