Don't forget your legs!

I originally started making leg accessories out of necessity.
We would have to shoot the latest collection every season, and shoes were becoming an issue.
I bought a few pairs of basic shoes for models to wear, but they were so plain compared to the rest of the look.  And models don't necessarily have the kind of shoes I would like them to wear.
So I started making leg accessories that can be worn over the basic black pumps and give them new life.

I've made spats, leg warmers, leg corsets, leg cuffs, pretty much anything to make the legs just as important as the rest of my collection.

So I thought, why not make some signature Sumie style leg items for etsy!
Here are my first two leg warmers posted on etsy.

Sneak Peak Look Book Image

I am editing through the look book images today.
There are tons of images, and I am planning to make the final selection for retouching by the end of the day.
This is one of the last images shot, and I must say........I really love it!
With that said, I don't know if it will make the final cut yet.
And please do note, this is still a raw image.  (not retouched yet!)

The look book shoot was earlier today.
It was a long, but very fun day!
Now it's time for editing and retouching before the final images are done.

Here are a few behind the scenes photos.

Look Book Shoot

The latest look book shoot is finally coming up.
It will be this Sunday, November 14th.

The collection is titled "P18," inspired by 18th century France and pirates.
I am very much looking forward to working with photographer ,Rob Chatterson and Michael Schwarzer from Midoma salon as always.
This time we have new blood in the group for our makeup artist.
She is not fully confirmed for this shoot yet, so I will not reveal the surprise.

I will be posting behind the scenes images sometime next week!

Have a fabulous weekend.

Cheers,

Sumie T.

Gone Vintage?

Yes, I am now selling a few select high-end vintage item and never worn high-end pieces on etsy and soon on my main website.
Most of these pieces were either purchased for inspiration or were old family treasures.

I have one posted on etsy.
www.felinus.etsy.com



The items that are not vintage will be only posted on this blog, as etsy does not allow non-vintage non-hand made items.

More will be added throughout the weeks!

Sincerely,

Sumie
