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.
Florina published her new Josephine collection of jewelry today and I had to share it, as I made the dress for these photos (click to see the full post if you want to better see the dress) taken by Andi Popescu of the pretty Romina.

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.
Theo Manusaride asked her friend Andreea to pose for her in Paris.

I am wearing a black&white printed dress that I made myself and this Josephine black pearl necklace that Florina custom made for me. <3<3<3 it!
