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.

Alex Matusciac took these photos last year, but I forgot to post them. I made this navy velvet stretch dress for the photo shoot, very last minute, but I love the glam feeling and atmosphere of the photographs. Makes me crave for some sunshine.
”The Rainbow Dress’ photographed by Vlad Gilcescu, modeled by Davina Sinjorz.

Theo Manusaride asked her friend Andreea to pose for her in Paris. I loved to be able to take part of the project by making the wedding dress for the photo shoot and Florina made the Josephine headpiece.

Andi sent over the look book for the new collection, fall/winter 2011 and I am very excited to finally post it online. I first started thinking about this collection at the beginning of the year, when activity is slow for everybody and there is enough time for me to focus on new work. Right after .... read more
