Behind the scenes
Bridesmaids Dresses
I bin doin lots of things, but I’m so busy with the collection that I haven’t been blogging about any of them. I wanted to tease you with this pic of bridesmaids dresses though…they’ve turned out so pretty. Can’t show you the whole deal til after the bride’s wedding, but here is a taste…
Boyfriend accessories
I also made a bunch of accessories for Kristian to go with his new wardrobe pieces. These cufflinks are very special. The wooden buttons were hand-made by a dear friend from German plum wood. (more…)
Marcus’s bowtie
Marcus Kan is known for his accessories, particularly his bowties. An enduring favourite is the gold-plated ceramic one he wore to the Elle 10th Anniversary party. After the Paper Dolls project by Christopher Lewis and I, Marcus requested that we make him a paper LED bowtie that he could wear to Ukamaku‘s one year anniversary event. (more…)
Present for Ari
My dear friend Ari helps me very often with styling. She has great style and guts, and she’s very fun to design for. My Russian gave me this fabric as a present. Another customer had asked for it to be cut, and then changed her fickle mind, leaving one yard of very flashy (and not cheap) fabric behind her. Alas, I was, and now Ari is, the lucky recipient of this fickleness.
Customized cons
I have been doing this. By request. It started when I saw these and knew that Fashionights had to have them. He ordered this top in mink and black leather as well, to rock out all the fur and leather leaves possible.
