Shoot With Stephen M Loban.

A few weeks ago, one of my great friends and all around babe, Caitlin Alexander had said that she wanted to shoot with me! I said yes, cause I'm not a fucking retard! She found a photographer and I found a MUA and magic was made! It had been awhile since I had shot with a photographer that I had not of worked with ever before, so I was nervous and yet so fucking incredibly excited! I also had not ever have worked with Caitlin either. The MUA was none other than close friend and often the very best partner in crime drinkin buddy and sesh partner (drum roll plreas)....Kate Mackinnon! I had brought with me 3 nw dresses from my Spring/ Summer 2011 Womens Wear collection. The pictures taken this day were nothing short of breathtaking for me, while I sat in a chair and watched the computer screen as each picture taken would instantly pop up. It was the first shoot I had ever done where I could really just sit back and relax and enjoy the beauty being made as the shoot proceeded. Caitlin needed no direction at all with any of the modeling, she was fantastic. Kate did a MAGNIFICENT job with the make-up, it looked so "french-galliano" but tamed, haha. If that even makes any sense, but thats how it looked for me :) And Stephen M Loban, well needless to say I was 100% satisfied with his work! Such an amazingly talented man! Thank you Stephen. Enjoy the photos, there are quite a few :)

Fashion Week Friendships.

It's nice to have a friends who can model :) I met this girl about a year ago at Toronto LG Fashion Week. I was styling an entire collection at Fashion Week for Designer Zoran Dobric. It was my first HUGE job (even though there was no pay) I was absolutely THRILLED, literally shitting bricks with excitement when asked to do it. Caitlin Alexander, she was a huge sweetheart! Prolly the nicest model that was there that day. We had so much fun and it was nice to have someone to talk to that day, seeing as I didnt really know anyone there too well. We kept in touch and it has really been a wonderful friendship! She is GORGEOUS and such a pleasure to work with! I remember that day sooooo well, it was amazing! So many models walking through the doors and I had to find each of the models walking for Zoran's show, I was running up and holding a picture to other models faces wondering if they were the model I was looking for. Also my ex boyfriends, new boy-toy/ flavor of the month, was actually one of the many make-up artists working at Fashion Week. His name was Max, but I always referred to him as "Maxi-pad". I thought it was funny, haha. He had this one male model sitting in his chair who was walking for Zoran's show, who he was flirting with SO hard, I laughed and than got the make-up supervisor to yell at him cause he was taking all fucking day to finish his make-up. It was great to watch. ANYWAYS! Here are a few pictures from that collection in which I styled and in which Caitlin modeled <3

An Old Paper Dress.

So awhile back I had done a photoshoot with photographer James Kachan and one the best models I have EVER worked with and still use her to this day. Ariana O'Neill. All the dresses were made out of computer paper and turned out to be one of the best photoshoots I had ever done, I still love all the pictures as if they were brand new. ANYWAYS, about a year after that shoot happened, I was contacted to make another dress out of computer paper, because they had liked these previous dresses so much. I gladly agreed to do so. So here it is, this was the last computer paper dress I had made. I love the dress, but I would not have chosen this model for this particular shoot. She's cute and very pretty and was a complete sweetheart...but I have learned my lesson, and now always ask to see the model that I will be working with before the actual shoot :) Enjoy!

A Look At My 2011 Spring Summer Women's Wear Collection.

Have a look at these pictures! There are only 6 designs here in total but the collection is a collection of 20. I loved the collection and cannot wait to start designing my new collection, which is going to be of a style I have never done before, but more and more is sparking my interest. I've got the colours and everything pretty much figured out though. So excited! Anyways hope you all like these pics photographed by...yes, hahaha Lynsie Roberts <3
