Summer is coming and I think this inspiration is a perfect preparation for it.
1) Luisa Beccaria Spring 2011, 2) Sarai from Colettes Patterns, 3) Hazel Dress from Colettes Patterns, 4) Playing with pattern, 5) Stripped beach houses, 6) Sailor knot earrings, 7) Striped dress with crop bodice, 8) Vintage Porcelain Earrings, 9) 1950′s Vintage Beach wear.
And here is something I am working on for The New Label Project, Amsterdam.
Hi everyone. Phew. Look what I’ve just finished making! I made room shoes, which I call Keiko to compliment a japanese tradition of wearing slippers in the house.
So these cute slippers took me a while to finish, and so far I’ve made 8 of them in various sizes. There are quite of few pieces to cut out from the pattern, not too crazy just repetitive. I’ve used a pattern designed by ithinksew and just added little twists here and there to make the design a bit more interesting. Aren’t they cute?
The New Label Project now houses an amazing Self Portraits Exhibition by Alexandra Feo of Madame Craft. Unfortunately I am unable to attend (even from Madrid, Amsterdam still seems so far away at this point in time for me and my budget) but I’ve seen the portraits on Alexandra’s blog and they are absolutely fabulous. They are just so wonderful, full of sense of humor, glamour and charisma! The exhibition includes portraits of Alexandra as curious characters like Guadalope (the ghost), Madame Amanda and Madame Craft herself (just to name a few). If you are in Amsterdam please go on and have a look for yourself. I can assure you that you’ll be amazed!
Alexandra Feo – Self Portraits (Madame Portraits) exhibition is open until 3 May 2012 @ The New Label Project, Rozengrach
Here is the photograph of the artist herself (and her works on the wall behind), taken with TNLP crews. Thank you Christian, Giulia and Alexandra who have kindly allowed me to use the photo here. And before we go, I have to do some shameless self marketing. Alexandra is wearing my very own C.O.R’s Audrey Collar at her exhibition opening! I am so happy to see my little Audrey being worn by an awesome artist!

Sometimes there are just so many things to make, and so little time & budget!
Hello readers.
I am working on a new piece for the shop, and I am not sure which way to go. I drafted this halter bodice last night, and made a muslin for it this morning (and used Photoshop to create rough chevron effect) and did a quick sketch below.
My dilemma is whether to make this outfit a jumpsuit or actually create separates. What do you think? Any thoughts? Please help.
