Alien Life Fashion Show

What a journey. From start to finish I knew this experience would be life altering. I was given the honor of being a featured designer in the Alien Life Fashion Show.

Each designer was given a piece of art by Kurt Redeker.

I was given Tetragrammaton.

I created 3 looks to mirror the design elements of Kurt’s original piece. I love the black squid element in the center.

Getting this skirt to light up was the hardest part…

That and walking the runway without falling.

Garden Party Preview

I decided to release a late Spring line this year, and most of the whites will be included in that collection.
But I really wanted to create a colorful Summer collection this year. I used to be swamped with bridal and prom orders from April to June. but I got burnt out on custom commissions after a while. I spent all winter hunting for materials and dying bits and scraps of fabric over the spring. I don’t work with bright colors often so this was a challenge.

The final collection is so pretty!!!

I can’t wait to post the photos, and release these pieces on Etsy.

First week of June!!!
