Project Update

This week I've been working on a few more variations of the scarflette, a total of 11!
I've been adding bowties and chains to a few of them.....to add a little more eye catching textures.


I've also started working on a larger project, a high- waisted corsetted style super poofed up double circle skirt.
It's kind of funny how it started.  The other day I watched a clip of SNL with Jim Carrie as the black swan.
Watching it made me want to make a white swan tutu inspired piece.

The top layer has an open weave white knit lined with a sturdy cotton sateen.
I am planning on adding mesh, tulle, and maybe lace layers underneath.....we'll see.
I'm not sure if I want to make it more avant garde/conceptual or more wearable.
I guess I will just have to feel it out at the moment.  :)

The most important announcement is that I will not be launching a new fall/winter 2011/12 collection in February.  I am taking a short break from the collection line.
However I am planning to launch a mini collection later this Spring.  Stay Tuned!

Sincerely,

Sumie

Happy New Years

A very Happy New Years to Everyone!

This year I really hope to finally create an online shop through the main website.
And I would also like to make a Japanese version of the site as well.

I've been designing 2 collections per year since 2007.
This February, I plan on taking a break from releasing a new collection.
Instead I plan on continuing my expansion on custom orders and one of a kind items.
I still hope to make at least a 1 to 3 look mini collection to launch during the middle of the year.

If there is anything you wish to see me add to the things I create, please feel free to let me know.
Feedbacks/Suggestions are always greatly appreciated.

Have a Great Year!

Sincerely,

Sumie T.
