FACE OFF: Makeup!

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Firstly, today is my one year anniversary of Blogging!  I am cooking something really special for this occasion, so keep on visiting my blog and you will soon find out what’s in it for you, my readers!  LOL!  Today is also the big fashion gala called FACE OFF!  Together with my dear friends Rhett Eala & Randy Ortiz, I will be duking it out in the only we way we know how! On the catwalk!  LOL!  Seriously though, I am very fond of my friends and I wish all of us luck and lots of love!  I wish I could invite all of you my readers, but alas, the venue can’t fit us all in!

Anyhoo! I wanted to share with you the makeup of the collection.  The first is the makeup for the Main collection which is called “The Ballet.” The look I was going for is a something very pale with interest on the eyes.  I wanted a pale pink and gold coloring.  The effect I was looking for is FRESHNESS.   For this show, my makeup will be done by the very talented Eric Maningat.

There will also be a special segment for Samsung, who is the main presenter, so I wanted something more sinister and dramatic.  I will be asking Eric to really deepen the eyes and make it almost villain-like.  LOL!

The show is like 8 hours away!  Wish us all luck!

The Sea Princess!

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Tessa Valdes is the Sea Princess!  She and her Pirate Dennis will be celebrating their wedding anniversary very soon and she asked me to do her gown.   This is a sketch of what I had in mind for her.  It’s inspired by mermaids and Venus emerging from a half shell: two iconic images fused into one.

The peplum actually lifts up and becomes the shell. LOL! The skirt will be made from thousands of “scales” made from hand cut mikado silk and the bodice is inspired by the waves of the ocean. This will be done by using crystals suspended like a chandelier.  The overall color of the gown is mother of pearl.  I am so excited for the party because I am sure it will really be magical!

HUGS!

Holiday Collection Sketch!

Saturday, October 11th, 2008
Here are some sketches from the collection that will be shown on October 14!  After the fitting I realized how strongly influenced the collection was by YSL!
I really was not aware of this as I was designing, but as the models began fitting and as we began styling it became really evident. It is my homage to the great Master of Fashion!  He really is one of the greatest designer minds of all time!
SEE YOU!
HUGS!
