September, 2009

Last Sunday I had the opportunity to work with Philip Delaney, a photographer based in Jamestown, NY. After watching the progression of his work and his fantastical themes, I couldn’t pass the chance to collaborate with him. I made three kimonos for his latest theme, “21st Century Geisha”. For this shoot I played wardrobe stylist/costume designer instead of fashion designer for my usual editorial/look book shoots. Though I’m not used to being a stylist, I had so much fun working with everyone in the studio and helping with the costumes, hair, and makeup!

These shots were taken in Jon Edler’s studio in Jamestown, NY. Photos were taken by Philip Delaney. Models involved are Kayte Dies, Anatomy, and Alessandra Selene.

More to come.

What I’ve come to realize is many of my fans and friends love my ever growing collection of tutus. They are so fun to make and the possibilities are endless design wise. One problem, many girls have a hard time figuring out where to wear one. Most of my clients wear them to clubs, gay bars, or the occasional theme party. I say go crazy!

When my recent client custom ordered my latest “Razzleberry” tutu, I was ecstatic! She wore hers to a 1980′s themed Quinceañera. I wish I was there to enjoy the homemade cupcakes, karaoke, and dancing; while rockin’ out in Kramp Kouture, of course.

Karaoke in Kramp Kouture

Super sweet dance moves

Even the cupcakes have that "Razzleberry" flair!
