UPDATE! Hollywood Mom Suzette Troche Stapp and her darling actress daughters are the winners of the PURPLE PIXIE Giveaway! Congrats ladies and enjoy those new clothes! Thank you to all who entered.
Check out this colorful, new clothing line just for girls! Purple Pixies, the brand for the budding individualist, was launched in 2010 by designer Rachel Ratzker especially for the young girls cultivating a personal style all their own.
Based in New York City, Purple Pixies makes super soft sweatshirts, trendy tunics, colorful hoodies and tees in funky prints, and sassy stripes with sparkly studs and rhinestones sure to get the stamp of approval from every mini-fashionista. Hollywood Moms will love that the line is modest and made in the U.S.A. with ultra soft and cozy fabrics, that add a welcome dose of comfort to the whimsical, girls-just-wanna-have-fun style.
Hollywood Mom Blog had the opportunity to chat with Purple Pixies fabulous Designer Rachel Ratzker recently:
HMB: Rachel, how did you conceive of this clothing line?
RR: My family comes from a background in the garment district in NYC, however, I started in the entertainment world, working on television shows. I enjoyed the industry, but not the instability, and I wound up joining my dad’s business of making fabric for the clothing industry and six years later my work there morphed in to starting Purple Pixies. I guess you can say I fell in to it, I never thought I would own my own brand, but you never know where your path will take you!
HMB: How did the darling brand name originate?
RR: To be honest the name came from writing down lists and lists of words that I liked, and putting them together until something stuck. I wish I could say it had some hidden meaning, but I just liked the sound of Purple Pixies!

HMB: What the size range, price range, and target market of Purple Pixies?
RR: Girls sizes 4-16 with a focus on the tweens retailing for $29-$55. Our [customers] are the kids/moms who want to shop for something a little different, that you wont find in all the big stores, but that is affordable at the same time. I didn’t want to be a brand that has a huge price tag on it.
HMB: Actresses Peyton List (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), Bailee Madison (Cowgirls n’ Angels; Just Go With It), Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler (Dance Moms), Ashely Gerasimovich (Louie; We Need To Talk About Kevin) and Hollywood Mom Blog fave Joey King (Ramona & Beezus; OZ: the Great & Powerful) are all fans of the line.Why do you think so many young ladies are wearing Purple Pixies?
RR: The brand is popular because we are new and fresh, and not “everyone” is wearing it yet!
Thanks to Rachel and Purple Pixies one of HMB’s own young actresses will receive a set of two fabulous items!

I should win the prize package because i’ve always wanted to wear clothes that are beautiful, cute and very unique. Purple Pixies makes amazing clothing that all my friends would be jealous of. I’m going through a rough situation and I always wanted to wear Purple Pixies. I want to start a New Trend by wearing Purple Pixies. I saw Peyton List and Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler wear Purple Pixies and those girls insprie me they’re so beautiful. Thanks for your consideration xoxo ~ Kaylee

Love the styles, great for all shapes and sizes!

My daughter Jess dreams about walking on the Red Carpet when she becomes famous, but she has a problem. She has NO IDEA what to wear, and being the fashionista that she is, that makes her frustrated. Everytime our family goes out, she helps everyone pick out trendy, in style clothing. Winning this prize package would mean a lot to her, since we rarely have time to go shopping. Between school,Boys and girls Club,Piano,guitar,vocals,bible, AND not to mention language class, my kids can’t have ALL the “cool” clothes they want. The clothing she sees celebrities wear inspire her dress choices as well. It would be amazing if we won. Thanks so much,Rachel Ratzker, for creating the Purple Pixies clothing line.

I would love to win this prize pack. I have a very unique style that Purple Pixies captures perfectly. Purple Pixies have amazingly cute clothing and I absolutely love that all of their clothing are made here in home sweet home USA. All of their designs are beautiful. I haven’t had the most plush life and receiving this prize pack would be great.
We try to only buy Made in the USA and my little girl would love to have some cute hip Made in the USA clothes to show off.
Hello, I think I should win the prize package because I love having new clothes and I think Purple Pixies has the absolute cutest outfits ever. I am like a leader and I normally bring new things and brands to my group of friends and I would love to have a new brand of clothes. And I don’t have my own money yet so its hard for me to buy it myself so I think if I win it will be really cool because I will have free Purple Pixies clothing which is absolutely amazing! I always love having new clothing and showing it off. When I saw Peyton List, Maddie Ziegler, and Mackenzie Ziegler wearing Purple Pixies I freaked when I saw the clothes because the outfits were beautiful on some beautiful girls! So thank you for taking your time to read this, I really do hope I would win, it would mean a lot to me! PS: I followed Purple Pixies on my twitter and I liked them on facebook! 🙂
Love Always,

Living on a teachers salary (w/furloughs and budget cuts) and daughters who just started in the biz, we’re finding it hard to budget all their expenses and clothes. With school starting sooner than usual and teacher’s check coming only once a month.
The bright colors! If anyone has ever met my budding actress and member of http://www.theshoecrew.org you would know she loves bright colors, especially on the red carpet.
The cute clothes is what i love!! I dont ave many new clothes at all in my closet.However I am allowed to go to one store and do a HUGE back to school shopping so I would want to try purple pixies clothes first make sure I LOVE them which from the pics im kinda liking them already do.P.S.I liked you on facebook and followed you on twitter
Hi from what I can see already purple pixies like a very cute store for young girls! I have already seen about 20 things that I would consider buying from there.I think it would be a great oppurtunity if I would be able to win the prize package because as soon as I recieved it I would be showing off my brand new shirts and if people asked,I would tell them that I bought them from purple pixies and give all my friends the purple pixies website.I think it would be a great experience winning the prize package.
