I slowly get photos from pretty girls who wore DBD dresses for the New Year’s Eve party this year and it’s exciting to see how many people started their new year in a dress made by me. I actually have a friend who was at a party at some winter-resort and there he heard a few girls talking about one of them wearing a DBD dress she got as a present from her BFF. Meaning, people get DBD dresses as presents, meaning people must like what I do, which of course motivates me to get started on all the work I have planned for this year.

2009 will certainly be a full year for me, filled with work, lessons, experiences. First of all, there will be a third clothing store to carry my line/dresses made by me, in Constanta, Romania (hopefully there will be also a cute foreign, online store to sell my stuff, but more details later). Second of all, with the launch of my next collection (fall 2009) I’ll also launch a sexy underwear collection. Third, expect a few hot videos with the launch of the collection (hopefully they’ll end up to be like I want them to look). Fourth, at one point next summer, the new website design (re-branding etc.) will be ready and I’ll re-vamp the So Fash’on look. Fifth, hopefully next fall I’ll get to go to the Pret-A-Porter trade show in Paris, with the following spring 2010 collection, together with my dear friend Ludmila, who will probably have a similarly busy year. And I will stop here, before I bore you with all my plans for this year.

Hopefully you’ll work hard and make at least some of your dreams come true, as I will certainly work for mine.

Photo of myself from a series shot by Alex Hreniuc for ‘Ideal Mariaj’ magazine – can’t wait for the issue with the article to come out, so you can see the dress that I made from the piece of fabric that I’m holding in my hand.

‘Thank You‘s to Octavian for mentioning me in his article about what Romanian fashion was in 2008 (here), Killing Denouement for the lovely mention at the end of this post, Adrian and Sorin for the interest in my opinion, to Cristea for editing this ‘backstage’ video from that bloggers party I went to a while ago, where you can see more of my decolletage. And congratulations to Florina from Josephine for the appearance in the Romanian InStyle magazine. Enough with the fun, it’s back to work now!
