The Fall '08 Collection

Here is the complete collection for Fall. Samples are being made as I type this, a strange thing to realize. I am completely beside myself with excitement, as usual, to see the finished product. Of course, there will be a lot of changes to my designs; some accidents, some things lost in translation and some things not financially viable, as the season draws near. There's nothing more for me to do now than wait and see.

lucky press

Many thanks to Kathy Shultz for the spot in the March edition of Lucky magazine. I will be re-making this dress in cocoa brown silk this summer. Another last minute addition is an extended version of the Monaco tunic. This is also a dress, in brown silk with white trim. I chose brown as I love the way the colour looks next to a mid-summer tan and because it will transition nicely into pre-fall. Here is a flat sketch.

new shops for spring

Here are some of my newer shops. I don't have the time to figure out how to make the links active so you'll have to settle for the old-fashioned cut and paste. Anyways, if you're a local in any of these areas, support your area's small businesses. They are what give a community it's personality and without them, it would be costco and walmart for all!
