Springtime!


I just realized that its been a while since I've blogged. So much has been going on here lately that I just haven't had the time. We're almost finished with Spring '10 production, and orders are being shipped out daily. I'm so excited to start wearing my own pieces from the collection. We had our usual "spring fakeout" here in Portland, where it got really sunny and nice, but the past couple of days have been the usual - rainy, rainy.

Many exciting things are happening this spring. My birthday is on Sunday, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with friends and relaxing.

I'm going to be releasing the Fall '10 collection in the next week as well. I'm a bit behind schedule getting everything ready - needless to say it's been a stressful few months. I think its for the best though, because I'm planning for very exciting things for Spring '11, and don't want to create more work than I can handle before that.

What I'm really excited about, is the annual fashion show put on by the Portland Mercury. It will be happening May 7th at the Bossanova. Because it's a "between seasons" show, I'll be combining some pieces from my Spring '10 and Fall '10 collections. I think the most important thing is to show Portlanders garments that they can buy NOW, not a season from now. I'm also creating a few new pieces to round things out!

Here are some photos inspiring me as I get ready for the show:













Also, I started another blog with my friend and MUA for my photo shoots, Clarity. Its street style, thrift store finds, and other things that we love. You can find it here.

Blumen...



Today's post is a short one - I just wanted to share this Einsturzende Neubauten video I came across last night. I had never seen the video for this song before, it's quite amazing. Especially Blixa Bargeld's slightly creepy dancing. This song is from their album Tabula Rosa, released in 1993. Enjoy!
