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.
Black satin skirt with irregular pleats, worn as a dress. Black jumper dress, with pockets and a long zipper at the front; Printed black&green bolero. Printed dress with attached red scarf tied around the neck. Finally, I finished editing the photographs I took of my designs. I didn’t want to just photograph the clothes in .... read more
I finally shot my “look-book”, for the clothes I sewed this summer. I am not pretentious to call it a “collection”, as I know that’s more than what I’ve done. But still, I wanted to photograph my clothes (mostly wearable dresses) on my model friend, Roxana, to post them on my gallery (soon enough); until .... read more
The last few days were hectic, crazy, fast and got me all tired. But I love it when I have no time to rest, eat or sleep. Had to go to school and finish my composition (meaning: make my teacher happy and pleased with my work), had to send stuff to Bucharest for a photo .... read more
I am a handbag person. It all goes back to my hight and the fact that I don’t “dare” to wear high heels when walking amongst normal people, because I don’t wanna look like a giant, so handbags are my favorite accessory. In about two years I got about 80 different types of handbags, I .... read more
I started working with patterns (of course with Silvia’s help); it’s interesting but also harder than I thought, to construct a garment geometrically and then perfectly sew it. I started cutting this dress (that can be also worn as a top) with the help of a pattern, it had a rather simple shape, so I .... read more
A trip to the fabric store is always fun for me, as I tend to find the weirdest fabric to work with. I don’t really care if it’s harder to sew, all I want is for it to look interesting. So, a couple of days ago I went to a great fabric store here in .... read more
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
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
I love to wear my own clothing, and because I had to take a break from French Impressionism (and the likes), I easily decided to go out. However, it took me quite some time to decide on which of my recently sewed tops to wear. I started the outfit from the vintage fedora hat, as .... read more
