A new week, a new exciting event at Ramayana Cafe: a bazaar featuring both oriental objects (such as handmade jewelery, clothing) and objects which have an oriental influence. The event starts at 1 p.m. today (06 December 2008) with live music, which you can listen to while getting an oriental massage, drinking a hot cup of roses tea, of course, you can leave after maybe getting a special piece of jewelery or a unique dress made by myself, as I will have some dresses for sale there.

In the evening there will also be a fashion show with some of my past designs, not a full collection, but selected pieces fit to the event’s theme. Unfortunately I can’t be there in person, as I really have a lot of work to finish this weekend/month/year, but as soon as I get the video, I promise to post it. I’m sure it will be at least as fun as the fashion show I had at the opening.

Today Arina Varga from ‘The F Word’ visited me and it was so nice to finally meet her in person. We went to the same University, and while I studied painting she actually studied fashion design. She is the most fun person to be around and we talked a lot of fashion, inside gossip, technical difficulties, garment construction and so on. It’s actually refreshing when you find people who share same thoughts with you, people who go through similar situations, who can understand how hard it is to create and organize all the work that comes with the term ‘fashion designer’. She brought this Christmas plant as a present and it is actually the first plant I recieved as a gift from someone. It was funny when we realized she got exactly the same fabric that I had used for a dress from my spring collection. Great minds think alike, right?

Hoping for her to joing me to our first Romanian Fashion Bloggers meeting next weekend, @ Ramayana of course!
