super rad

a few looks for you ladys and gents to ponder about the next time your getting ready for a night out on the town, or simply just to look cute going to work haha

gotta love COLOUR!

no matter how dark each collection is getting from everyother designer (it seems like maybe 2 out of every 5) , i love when the spring/resort collections start peeking through. i found some looks that will brighten your outlook on a near dark fall season.

wait.....and you shall recieve

so good news, i got some info about a store (wont be named until i find out more info) that is looking to carry the collections of new designers. so im already getting ready my fashion show that has now been moved til september. All i have to do is pull 20 garments that i think best represent my line and present them to the store in about a week and a few days. im super excited but also very much nervous. wish me luck!

oh and while N o T finishing my garments that i need to get done....ive made a few side projects. ive made two necklaces out of old necklaces that i used to wear. look what the outcome was.

the pix arent high quality but i dont care, shove it!

this on is made out of those lil plastic beads that as a child in school we would put them on flat molds of happy faces and hearts and the teacher would iron them and we would put them on necklaces. i dunno if you get it but yeah...

heres the next one

this one is composed of lots of distressed silver chains, all different sizes and types of chain, and each one has a zipper head on them. they are all tangled with eachother but i think it gives it a better effect plus after a night of dancing with this on it will look like this anyways hahaha

contact me if you have any questions about them:

my creative process after the photo shoot.

so now that the shoot went well Im ready to start working on some fall inspired Lady Gaga-ish Gareth Pugh Geometric mini collection. Inspired by these looks. . .

VIVA Balmain!

having creative friends really pays off.

This past weekend (sunday) i had my first shoot for my clothing line. We used my designs and collaborated to set up a few mini sets to shoot on. Nini and Randy (aka London Fierce) did hair and makeup, Aimee & Jamil set up the sets with all of our help aswell and they all came out amazing. I dont have any of the final shots from the photographer yet but wheni do you know i will be putting them up. I do have some behind the scenes pix of the models, the sets and just us hanging out. Its was so nice to have everything run smoothly. Working with friends is the best because you can collaborate and have your ideas thought out while still being able to get stuff done. Im so excited for whats to come next. Thanks to everyone that helped and put their input, it never goes unnoticed!

and this is why im such a big jeremy scott fan...

for so long ive been such a fan and follower of jeremy scott. hes a total genius when it comes to his collection concepts. they all might not mesh but they have this wackiness that pulls them all together. hes definitely one of my inspirations, hands down. so i was up til 3am the other night searchig the web and blog after blog for any video of his latest collection. i knew he was showing in paris for fall 2009 fashion week because my friend Lily was going to his show last week. So anyways i finally found some pictures, and here they are...

The Blonds to collaborate with Britney Spears

for her tour costumes.

i stumbled upon these designers while watching gay news on the Logo channel.
Its a duo of two men designers, one being an obvious blonde tranny. check them out they make some pretty hot pieces. their signature piece is an embelished corset that takes up to 6 weeks to make. thats was DIY (do it yourself) gone crazy hahaha. they have made dresses for britney, rhianna and fergie. excess is essential! hahaha

heres some video footage of them announcing their collaboration with britney then a few clip from their fashion shows. enjoy! <3

Patrik Ervell

Ive been on a bit of a hiatus! sorry i just have been working on garments for my new collection & in doing that i have decided to wen myself from my computer to do so. (pictures comming soon!)

So my boyfriend often lets em know about designers he sees in magazines and Patrik Ervell was one of them. I like this guys style, the silhouettes are repetitive but the color schemes and layering add dimension to each outfit.

here are some pics from his newest collections...
