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.
A couple of months ago Theo asked me to send her two wedding gowns for a photography workshop. I was excited to make two dresses for her, as I had all the creative freedom I could ask for. So I sketched my ideas to her, she approved and then I had them shipped in less .... read more

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.
