Fall 2011

Sorry for the break in posts. I've been recovering lately after the craziness of fashion week, which went well. Although, I must say it's certainly a miracle that I did most of this collection in about two weeks before the show, save for a few pieces that I did prior to that. I have already started on Spring 2012, needless to say.

Here is a great article from my makeup artist and very best friend Nathan Johnson. I will have my look book photos up here soon, too.

Paula in peach

Last night on the finale of her show, Paula Abdul wore another of my dresses. She looked so good in it! I'm so happy to have her as a client. :)

I made this dress for her back in late October. I had one day notice to do it and get it to her, so I pulled an all-nighter and did it. Then I remember I had to literally sprint a mile, dress in hand, to the Fedex office to just barely make the cut-off ship time. It was well worth all the work.

Well, last night Paula Abdul finally wore a "Leanne Marshall" on her show. Yay!

It's this little red number below. Unfortunately, I couldn't really get any good screenshots of her in it. But you can watch the video on CBS.com. I am terrible at making screenshots of video! Sorry, Paula.




And now it's back to work for me and my fashion week collection....oh my, oh my!

Happy Friday!

happy new year!

Happy 2011, everyone! So far, off to a great start!

Here is a sneak preview of a dress for a big celebrity client. Hint: she has a new show coming out very soon (Edit: Wednesdays 8pm, CBS) and will be wearing some of my things! :) I'm so excited to see. She's one of my idols since childhood...



May you all have a wonderful New Year and keep creative!

saturday morning

I don't know when I became such a morning person, but I truly love them. I'm so much more focused and productive. Maybe it's just because of the coffee? That's highly likely.

Another new little mixed media sketch. This one is going to be part of a series where I take little scraps and essentially do a paperdoll with them. So much fun!



Yes, I'll be having some more of these on my etsy page, too.

arctic blast 2010

Brrrrrrrr! It's so cold outside in New York today. It's nice just staying in and working from home. Lately, I've been enjoying starting my day by sketching. I have to say, it's been awhile since I've done much sketching (other than rough, little doodles), and I'm loving it! It's quite a nice change from being hunched over a sewing machine all day.



PS Nicole: That's one of your lace swatches in the bottom! Your dress is going to be amazing! I can't wait to do it! :)

PPS to everyone else: I'm selling off some of these sketches on my Etsy page now.
