General Pants is excited to announce the arrival of Gracie the new diffusion line by Alice McCall.  Launching exclusively at General Pants for October 2007, Gracie is sure to be a hot ticket in the wardrobes of fashionably aware cherubs this summer.

“The pieces I find most exciting are the little dresses, almost a bit of electro-tribal meets Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby,” the movie-mad Alice McCall says. “I’ve been influenced by movies like the Virgin Suicides and Larry Clark’s Kids, with a bit of Little House On The Prairie, perhaps a bit of Fame: The Movie, too, for a touch of ’70s New York hip meets girls in peasant dresses…”

GP is running a series of exclusive launch nights in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane – so if you’re interested in getting your mitts on Gracie before anyone else don’t miss them.

Sydney: Thursday 4 October 6.30 to 9.00pm at the new store in Skygarden Shopping Centre (off Pitt St Mall)

Melbourne: Friday 5 October 6.30 to 9.00pm at Melbourne Central

Brisbane: Friday 5 October 6.30 to 9.00 in Queen Street, Brisbane
