Dress Delivery to Europe!



I was able to take some time off (and realllllly pushed myself to sew up until this trip) and headed to Europe! We traveled to Brussels, Antwerp, London and Amsterdam.
Naturally, I am on a constant search for inspiration!
And I was able to hand-deliver dresses and have some new styles tried on models :)
I rarely get to see my dresses being worn, just in photos and videos, so it's extra exciting!

Also, I was able to meet Barbara Decré!!!  You might remember this shoot!!

If you are in the Belgium area (and maybe she is keen to travel too) DO book a shoot with her!
She's absolutely sweet and positive, and most importantly, passionate about her work.
Barbara is often also looking for models for commercial work, so like her facebook page.:

She also prepared a large book of her photography (of my dresses) and WOW, seeing amazing photography in print is the true test.  Get those prints printed!!!

As you can tell, I've caught the travel bug.  I hope you enjoy all the inspired pieces I have and will continue to create!  Thank you for sharing your world with me.

la > hong kong > shenzhen > taipei

I went to Asia the second half of December on a family trip!
I hadn't been back to Taiwan and Hong Kong in 24 years....



Having witnessed so much mass-production,
I am now more determined than ever to keep creating my one-of-a-kind dresses from existing fabrics.
Trying to hold onto all the great designs I saw too.  Thank goodness for camera phones!

Here are all the pieces I made and sold the first half of December 2012:



Looking forward to an exciting and busy 2013!  And more travel to inspire!!!
