Me, Florina, Andi, Soso, Bebe and the two models, Flavia and Miru went on location, somewhere outside TImisoara, for a photo shoot yesterday. It was extremely cold and a lot of mud around, but we managed to get some good photographs with the girls wearing the coats that I made last week and headpieces from the latest Josephine collection. Waiting to get the whole set so I can post it, ofc. Make-Up & Hair: Sergiu Bechian

To keep warm we were jumping up and down making subtle jokes about everything around us. Of course my foot hurt afterwards, but a photo shoot in the cold was an interesting experience, one that I am sure a lot of people working in the fashion business ‘digest’ constantly.

Florina’s new collection is ready and perfectly photographed by Andi and here are my favorite pieces. Because of my injury I had to stay at home a lot last month, so it was a pleasant surprise when I saw that she took her famous brooches, headpieces and necklaces to another level.  And you may have noticed the spray painted details, which is probably my influence. :)

Am So Proud!

So I finished the doll for Unicef yesterday and first I wanted her to be a Gothic princess but she turned out to look more of a cute queen, right? She wears a black lace dress with the top part made of faux leather with metallic details. The eyes and the lips are also hand sewn.

I will donate it and send it to Unicef for the “Create A Doll- Help A Child‘ charity event, which will take place next year. You can have fun and create a doll yourself, get all the instructions here. I promise you that it is a whole lot of fun!

By the way: her name is Francesca.

Metallic checkered double breasted coat (the buttons will be simple, round and metallic) with a big collar and an elastic waistband.

Flower printed coat with an attached handmade flower at the front and separate golden waistband.

Black wool wrap coat with a separate metallic waistband.

Metallic gray dress with a bow detail at the front and a plunging neckline.

When Roro visited I also made her fit the black tulle and lace skirt and army like olive jacket. The skirt can be found at Ummagumma and the jacket at MonekyBizz.

And this is the coat that I made for Florina, the first coat I made from scratch, all by myself, a couple of weeks ago. The neck-piece is from her new Josephine accessories collection that I will post, of course, soon!

To prove that this kind of wrap jacket can be worn in a gazillion different ways. :) The waistband is separate. The jacket can be worn on both sides. This piece is one of a kind because my black&white checkered fabric stock has run out, but of course I can make wrap jackets with similar looking fabric (by order only).

Andreea tried it on so that I can see the fit. I am happy about the way it turned out. Hopefully we’ll use this piece for the photo shoot we’ll do this week.

Black and white checkered pleated skirt.

Pink zebra dress with rosettes at the waist – both of the dresses above have a deep V cut back.

Metallic gray spray painted long dress with attached rosettes at the bottom.

Red silk long dress with cream waistband and silk handmade rosettes at the waist.

Plum wool wrap coat with a satin printed lining.

Andreea visited us today and I asked her to try the plum wool wrap coat on to see the fit. The coat has metallic buttons on the shoulders for a closing and a separate waistband from the same fabric.

All these garments are at the atelier right now, so if you are interested  you can come by for a fitting just let me know.

We’ll do a photo shoot sometime this week, so that I can send them to stores coming next week.
