Real Wedding: Haley!

I got a little misty eyed looking at Haley's wedding pics. She has been a wonderful client, having custom designed her dresses more than once. For Haley's lovely wedding on the northern California beach, we decided on an ivory cotton voile with silk dupioni trim, back flowing tie and criss cross detail. Beautiful combo for a beautiful setting!

Alexander McQueen RIP

Woke up this morning to discover the terrible news of Alexander McQueens death. Completely saddened by this... He was one of my favorite designers, a huge inspiration to me especially while I was in fashion school years ago. I was always studying his work and writing about him in school projects, he was so unique and original. I even came face to face with him backstage at an Academy of Art University fashion show, he was the guest speaker. I almost ran right into him, and as soon as I realized Alexander McQueen was standing right in front of me I was so star struck I couldn't even speak. Just stood there, I was so awe-inspired. It was an incredible moment.

I am so very sad the world has lost a remarkable talent, someone who stood out in the fashion world, rebel against convention, a dark star, creating brilliant, beautiful work.

Alexander McQueen. Rest in peace.
