[photo credit: sharky rol] The more work I have/get, the more I crave for some free time to concentrate on the next collection, fall 2009. I won’t start describing everything that’s in my head, as it’s not about what you imagine that I will do next, but about how I materialize the ideas that I .... read more
Well, not actually, but the poster is! I got these snaps from a friend who was at Ramayana Cafe the other day. First, it was pretty funny when he sent me the first picture with the poster, starring myself, positioned on every table. However, when he sent me the one from the bathroom it was .... read more

I certainly am, and can’t wait to finish them. Those .... read more

Irina Marinescu spring/summer 2009 ready-to-wear collection. These are just some snaps that I took from the show. Loved everything about it: the music, the feeling, the effortless coolness and apparent easy-to-wear feeling of the designs, the fact that it actually made me think of my mom, even without reading the press-release and knowing the source .... read more
The dress for the auction was the one on the right: the short corset dress with the silk flower pleats/appliques. I took this picture before leaving for Bucharest. The unfinished dress on the left is for another fun project; more on that later! Roro, my friend and fave model, accompanied me to the event in .... read more
I will be in Bucharest this weekend and a couple of days next week, first and most importantly because of the Edelweiss Charity Ball, an event to which I was invited to participate.

I am so glad to finally tell you about the launch of the Ummagumma website. I mention the store a lot on So Fash’on just because we sort of started out together: from the beginning Oana, the lovely and adorable owner of Ummagumma, supported me and my work. She really helped me a lot and .... read more
