Racysuits | Bringing back Grandpa's ski suits from the '80s.

Created by Marina Barnes

The ultimate unitard based on the downhill ski racing suits worn by my grandfather in the 1980s. There's no other unitard like it!

Week 1: Behind the scenes!

I mentioned before that I'm doing everything humanly possible to make sure we reach our goal, yes? Well here are a few behind the scenes insights on how I'm doing this. 

Shameless Racysuits Promotion: I wear my suit everywhere! 90 degrees and humid in New York?? . . . Yes, I'm in my suit! I met up with some friends on Thursday evening and while the rest of the girls were loving their breezy summer dresses I was skipping about in my Racysuits Unitard. We match right??

Constant Outreach: Thanks to you we are over 85% funded! I'm reaching out to bloggers, editors, and online media publishers to see if they're interested in our story. This is a great way to spread the news and reach our funding goal! For example . . check out our blog post on Maker's Row and The Ski Week!

Crashing The Party: Racysuits is always a fun addition to any party. I'm heading to the Kickstarter Summer Festival in Brooklyn today (or tomorrow if it rains) to meet fellow Kickstarter creatives! AND next week we will be setting sail on the New York Hornblower's Cruise with Daybreaker for a 6 AM morning dance party . . . in Racysuits of course! 

The idea behind these tactics is SHARING THE NEWS and growing the Racysuits community! I'm so excited about our Kickstarter progress in the first week that I'll risk overheating and don my Racysuits unitard in the middle of a hot summer New York day. 

Find Racysuits on Snapchat (search for Racysuits) and Instagram (@Racysuits) for behind the scenes shenanigans! 

 

Stay tuned for my next update on sourcing materials!! I will be sharing the inside scoop on how I pick the best fabrics and zippers . . . maybe even a sneak peek into how digital fabric printing works!! 

Have a great weekend!

Wow! I Am Blown Away By Your Support!
