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.
Snaps from today: me, after and before Roxana Morun’s TVR3 TV show ‘Dupa-Amiaza Unui Fan‘, of course wearing a dress I made myself. The trench coat is altered, it was a vintage,huge men’s coat before I cut/sewed/modified it about one year ago. Today’s live TV show on TVR3 was great! Roxana Morun was very lovely .... read more
The lovely Ioana, from the fashion blog mauVErt, rocking the pink tutu I made for her recently. While I uploaded these photos she sent over, I was listening to this genius live version of Shirley Bassey’s ‘Love Story (Where Do I Begin)’ and it was like a perfect match: could totally imagine Ioana dancing away .... read more
‘Les fleurs de Josephine‘ by Florina Erimescu. Click to enlarge. ‘Les fleurs de Josephine‘ is Florina Erimescu’s new collection of pretty flowers for pretty mademoiselles, which can be worn both as brooches or on a headband (each one can be ordered either way), made from silky fabrics and tulle attached on a cotton base. The .... read more
I have not posted pics of my sister Florina in a while now, but you might remember her from about a year ago, when I used to be more of a fash blogger than a fash designer. Yesterday we had a fitting session of the samples I had left at home, and of course she .... read more
Let the tutu-madness begin: two recent tutu skirt orders made from differently colored tulle. They do look adorable, right? By the way, I can make tutu skirts in any color (the fabrics store from where I buy my fabrics have tulle in most colors), so if you want your own, contact me at diana[at]sofashon.com or .... read more
Arina came over today and told me about my dress being in the March issue of Bolero magazine. I didn’t even know about it, so I was happy when I saw the picture of this purple DBD dress form my spring 2009 collection. ‘Thank you’ to the fab people at Bolero and may I add .... read more
Because spring is already here, one lucky viewer of Marilena’s ‘Viata In Roz‘ (translated ‘Life In Pink’) TV show on the local network TVT89, had the chance to get a total make-over. She got extensions, professional make-up and I got her dressed in two of my DBD dresses from previous collections. Alex made a photo-shoot .... read more
Found this pic of myself, while fitting one of my dresses. Lovely rosette on the shoulder, right? Tomorrow, 12 March, at 3PM-5PM, tune in on Kanal D to see me live at the TV show ‘La Sueta Cu Bahmu‘, presented by the lovely Dana Savuica, a gorgeous former model. I’ll also have a fashion show .... read more
While I spend my time making dresses for pretty girls, some of them look seriously fab while wearing my work. For example Alexandra Martin, who is one of Romania’s UN Youth Delegates. She was recently in New York, and she wore a DBD dress. Go girl! Seriously representin’! Don’t you just love how elegant she .... read more
Carola‘s gray tweed jacket finally got to her all the way to Montenegro (stupid postal services!) and she looks so very adorable wearing it. Love how she wears it with a strong yellow underneath, for interesting color peeks. That’s how you recognize a fashionista right there! Roxana wanted to be a little tough, so I .... read more
