Where did this crazy idea all begin?!?

I was sitting in Dodger Stadium on a chilly night in 2006 and a bit underdressed for the game.  So, I decided to go to the Dodger Team Store and buy something to warm me up.  When I stepped into the store and started to look around I realized that there was really nothing cool and fashionable for me to wear.

 

I looked around the store at the other female shoppers.  Then I walked outside the store and starting looking around the stands at the other ladies in attendance.  And that’s when I noticed that there were not many women wearing stylish clothing with the Dodgers logo on it.

 

Can you say “LIGHT BULB”?!?!

 

If I was looking for something like this, there MUST be other women looking for the same thing.

 

It helps that I come from a long line of designers in my family…so, it’s in my blood.

 

And, I am a HUGE sports fan.

 

I was convinced that I could create a new collection of fashion apparel for the female sports fan.  Something you can wear to the game and to the party after or just living life everyday.  Something I would wear.  This collection needed to be created for all of us.

 

I have taken great pride in the delicious fabrics (by the way, I have invented my own “garmento” lingo) and details that go into my designs.  Everything I design has the female fan in mind—like the double zipper on all of the outerwear, so you don’t get that “pooch” when you sit down…and the built in support bra in many of the tops.

 

I cannot tell you how excited I am about the response from female fans all over the world.  Even now I cry when I see a fan wearing a piece of the Touch collection in the stands.  It is all very overwhelming.

 

I am excited to be involved with Fandalia.  You will be able to find product from ALL of the leagues and colleges we have licenses for.  There’s nothing better than one-stop shopping.

 

With Love,

Alyssa

First off, huge fan of you, loved you in Charmed!
Secondly, my best friend and I are also huge baseball fans and love that you are doign this. One question though, have you considered doing swimsuts yet for summer? Because both my friend and I have been thinking for years that wouldn't it be great to have a baseball bikini?? But we were never able to find one. I think you should come out with some summer wear as well :).
Thanks!

Hi Alyssa, was wondering if you were gonna be making it out to this year's NHL All-Star Game? I know you were in Atlanta last year, so was hoping we'd see you in Montreal this year!

I am a HUGE fan of Touch, and I have become a huge fan of the Fandalia Shop!! I am looking forward to the Spring '09 line and hope to see some items for my MLB and NCAA teams!! I am saving up my $$ for a Spring Touch shoppoing spree!

I also love the jewelry, I have most of the items -- love the glass bead earrings and the necklaces. Can't wait for more!

Love the pic of Alyssa in the NFL jacket at the ESPN party --- it would be great for those of us having problems finding items for our teams or those people that love sports but don't have a special team yet to be able to buy the general NFL, NBA, MLB, or NCAA logo items....

Hey Alyssa!
For starters, I LOVE your line.
I am a huge South Carolina Gamecocks fan and was hoping you might be coming out with the Women's Varsity Full Zip Raglan Jacket for the team??
Good luck and thanks for such a great line!

Alyssa U are the greatest and Charmed is my mostest favorite show ever. Oh and I have HUGE CRUSH on U too! The Touch clothing is really totally cool and I just wish I had a girlfriend so like I could buy her some of it, that would be cool.
Comment By Alyssaphanboi At 2/18/2009 7:13 AM
Thank you so much! I am a huge sports fan in general and I was tired of wearing my boyfriends stuff... You should totally do some 'jerseys' that fit women better!

Hi Alyssa, I was into sports when it was not yet 'cool' for girls to be. hehe. I love your line, have you considered bigger sizes though? Since having my kids, my cute little shape has gone south and I am a plus size beauty now! But I need plus size Touch to wear!!
If you ever do please email me, we have so many fav teams, cant wait to have cute stuff to wear to the games!

I was wonding why you don't have Cincinnati Bengals Jeans? I would love to buy some
Comment By Lori Gaddis At 10/17/2009 12:28 AM
I love your clothes but ive noticed there isnt much of a selection on any of the houston teams like the texans and the astros, i would love to see more of a selection for them.
Comment By lizette At 10/20/2009 12:52 AM
I love all your clothes and think the whole idea is brilliant....but i would love it even more if they were available in more stores. It would be awesome if you could have them at some department store nationwide. For me the prices are a little high (being a poor college student), and i guess i'm a little leary about spending the money on something without trying it on.
Comment By Angela At 11/19/2009 8:43 PM
great idea! I wish you much luck and success.
