Grand Finale

No fashion show is complete without a parade of all the pieces.

The Grand Finale....all that is missing is the Wedding Dress!

Anneke´s creation comes as close as I can get....go have a look at her stunning piece.

"Carry on"

In an Instant

As I created this last piece, I knew,,,in an instant,,,

that it would be perfect for Heidi Klum.

Trends come and go so quickly and from one day to the next,,,,,,

you´re either in or you´re out.

Considering that fact,,,and that somebody has to run the vacum and my frig is empty,,,,

now is as good a time as any to say, "Auf Wiedersehen" and get back to the business of living.

Project Runway can be seen in Germany on Viva.

This torso, as well as the last 3 torsos, were created with watercolor and ink.

They originated from a watercolor painting of trees and I carried that theme into the ink doodles.

Ginger Snap wants to see paint and Crazy Amigo has an open theme.. have a look and go create.

A Lot of Look

I know this is a lot of look but after reading

Tim Gunn´s, A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style,

I knew I could make it work.

The belt worries me but then again, it fits right in with

Michael Kors´Buckle Up Collection.

Creating so many pieces in such a short time is no easy task and in Tim´s own words I can just hear him say,

"I can´t want you to succeed more than you do"

and I know he´d encourage me to carry on.

Stay tuned for the final piece in the World of Haute Couture and some tips from Tim´s Boss.

Project Runway Calling

Everytime you dress, you assert your identity. We all need to find our own fashion voice.

Nina Garcia from Project Runway sent me "The Little Black Book of Style" ...how sweet of her.

Nina gives tips on how and when to wear what outfit. For example, she warned me against wearing this little number to a job interview....ahhh heck, I thought this is what is called...

"Dressing for Success." I am so glad she filled me in before I committed a deadly fashion

"faux pas"...

To sum it all up....Nina told me to try to find my signature look, learn how to experiment and most of all......PLAY......... and have fun with fashion.

I did just that.

Go discover yourself through the colorful palette that is fashion.

Tune in this weekend for Michael Kors and Tim Gunn.

Haute Couture

Haute Couture,,,,"high sewing".....a creation of exclusive custom fitted clothing.

A Haute Couture creation is made to order and made from high
quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail by the most

experienced seamstress using hand-executed techniques.

My little tag was cut out by hand,,,from high quality watercolor paper which was first painted

and stamped. Holes were punched for the lacing of gold thread. A little "collar" was added

at the neckline and a triple bow was tied for added flair.

The piece was then sprayed and edged with the finest of gold ink .

The creation will be seen next week on the runways of Paris.

Au revoir mes amis. A bientôt.

Thanks Louise.... at Tag Tuesday,,,,,for inspiring this little creation.
