This week I am finishing the fall/winter 2010 collection in order to be ready for the look book shoot this Sunday. I've attached a photo of the jacket I've been working on since yesterday.
It's almost done, but still needs a few more details.
Working on a new line is challenging in so many ways!
The concept and fabric shopping are the easy part.
Then comes the long long hours of draping, making patterns, cutting fabric, and sewing for each piece.
It's not too bad if you have a team, but this season I am on my own.
It feels like a long journey all alone with your own thoughts to keep you company.
I get to think a lot about my life while working on these pieces.
Sometimes I shut myself in the studio for a few days at a time.
And when I walk outside, the daylight is so blinding!
I love making new collections, but as I get older, it's definitely that much harder to stay up and work long hours. I am looking forward to Monday when the collection and the photo shoot is done.
Other than normal work hours, another exciting thing about finishing a collection is getting to play with all the beautiful remnant fabrics and making smaller one of a kind items for etsy.
The fabrics for this collection are unbelievable!!
I hope you stay posted for new items on etsy.

Sneak Peak Accessories
I have been working on several accessory pieces these past 2 days, which I am super excited about.
I just finished photographing and retouching the images. There is just not enough hours in a day......(sigh)
These items will be posted throughout the week on my etsy store starting tomorrow.
The ones with the velvet ribbon can also be worn as a choker, headband, and also an anklet.
Some of the materials are silk organza, silk novelty taffeta, and lambskin.
These are great alternatives for those who want something else to accessorize with other than chained jewelry and hair clips.
