Watch me at work!

Also, you can see more videos about super talented Romanian young people here.

… Diana Bobar Design that is. I am sure most of you know about me and my story by now and how I got to be a fashion designer, but in case you do not, I started it almost one year ago. I took the decision to create and sew a collection after a lot of my blog’s readers supported me with very positive comments on my work, whether it was a fashion shoot I was doing for fun, or some old clothes I was modifying. I did start with making mostly dresses, but right now my collections also feature pants, skirts and jackets, vests, shorts, depending on the season for which I’m designing. I do plan to extend my line this year with a small line of women’s underwear; as I said before, I will also start with men’s wear this summer. Right now I sell in three Romanian stores in Bucharest, Constanta and through a Dutch one; I also get orders online and constantly keep in touch with the lovely ladies who appreciate my work, for a better understanding of what they want to wear.

You have to know that I started from no investment whatsoever and right now Diana Bobar Design is still small, but growing. I am actually working myself on everything, from the public and client relations to the production and packaging; I get help from another young lady with the sewing and my sister (who is still a student) sometimes also helps with the pattern cutting.

So much happened so fast…it is c-r-a-z-y!

I am very grateful. And right now, I am running off to the studio for the fall 2009 collection photo shoot, so make sure to be back soon for the new collection! XOXO
