Follow the journey to building my clothing label - fabric shopping, pattern cutting, fittings, collections, photo shoots, runway shows - let's have fun with fashion and see what goes on behind the scenes: from an idea to a dress there is a long, but extremely rewarding way to go.
One piece of fabric, 30 (!!!) different dresses. I wanted to try and see if it’s possible to build different shapes of dresses from the same fabric, and guess what: it certainly is! Using only two pins, a belt, a bra and some creativity I created 30 different dresses. Who says you need a gazillion .... read more
I just came back from my “plastic surgeon” [aka. web designer] and am happy to announce that I finally have a new “face” [aka. web site]! *cheers. I packed all my photo shoots, fashion magazines, clothing design, vintage buys and moved to this bigger, better, more welcoming place. So, from now on, all my work .... read more
These are all clothes I made over the weekend, as I wanted to do a photo shoot on Sunday for my future look book. Hopefully that will happen sometime soon, until then, I wanted to post them to get some feed back. Everything that I design and make/sew is basically for me, as in: the .... read more
?No, it’s not the kind of dress Victoria Beckham would wear to one of David’s soccer games. I call this dress this way firstly because of it’s color, secondly because of the thick fabric the bottom part is made out of. Anyhow, I had only so much of this fabric, so I just went with .... read more
A “comfort outfit” for me, is that outfit that is simple, versatile and doesn’t need you to put much thought into. You sure can never go wrong with black, neither can you go wrong with classic black&white stripes. Black velvet pants, a cropped jacket, a bag in which my camera fits into, black tights and .... read more

He was still interning until now, however they recently told him that they want to keep working with him. This comes as no surprise for me, because I know .... read more
It’s the easiest way to make your daily coffee cup more unique: paint it! Just get some oil colors (oil stays on porcelain) and do whatever you feel. Try not to mix warm colors (yellow, red) with the cold ones (blue, green), if you want bright colors. However, if you want to get nuances of .... read more
Why is that? I got a new (well, technically old, but very good and useful to me) sewing machine from my mom’s friend who visited from Germany. It belonged to her seamstress mother, who used to make clothes for herself and her family about 30 years ago. Also, Ines, my mom’s friend, gave me lots .... read more
Three days of painting landscapes (literally, day to night) and I finally finished my summer work for school. The result: 40 landscapes painted in different ways/styles, according to a specific era in art history. From Quatrocento to Abstract Art, I covered the most important movements in the history of art. [See the first ones here]. .... read more
“A dark unfathom’d tide Of interminable pride ? A mystery, and a dream, Should my early life seem;” “I say that dream was fraught With a wild, and waking thought Of beings that have been, Which my spirit hath not seen. Had I let them pass me by, With a dreaming eye! ” [Photography, Styling, .... read more
