What’s new for February 2012?

We are busy with several projects all at once (or, as we call it, business as usual… ha!)


We are preparing the lookbook for the 2012 Spring . Summer collection. Its going to be hot! But we still have to decide which pictures we will use and in what order we will present them, etc…

its a tiny preview, we admit

but it's still a preview ;o)

We are also preparing the actual launch of the collections, and re-writing the website, which will be completely rehauled and redesigned.


Last but not least we are cleaning up the workshop, because we are running out of space: the production of the 2012 collection has started, but we still have a few 2011 items in stock… so our problem will become your luck, for we will be having a sample / end of line sale! More details will come soon.


Is your year off to a big start too?

Quoi de neuf en février 2012?

Nous sommes occupées par plein de projets en ce moment (pour faire changement hahaha)… Nous préparons le lookbook des collections . printemps été 2012! Toutes les photos sont prises, il ne reste qu’à les choisir (ouf!) et produire la paperasse qui vient avec…

c'est un très petit aperçu, on l'admet,

mais c'est quand même un aperçu! ;o)

Avec le lancement des collections viennent un événement pour souligner ledit lancement, qui reste encore à organiser, et, notre tout dernier projet, une nouvelle version du site internet qui sera lancée en avril… alors nous sommes en écriture et en réorganisation!


Enfin, nous sommes aussi en plein « grand ménage du printemps » à l’atelier car on commence a manquer sérieusement de place : les nouvelles collections sont déjà en production, mais il nous reste des beaux bijoux automne . hiver 2011 en stock… Notre problème deviendra donc votre bonheur, car nous aurons une belle vente d’échantillons et de fin de ligne bientôt! Plus de détails suivront…


Ouf! L’année commence en lion!

spring summer 2012 trends

The fashion gurus have spoken.

Designers have shown us the future: what will this Spring and Summer look like?
Here are our hits - and misses - for the coming season:

African prints

Proenza Schouler

We just came back from Morocco. We fell in love with Africa.

We had to restrain ourselves not to fill our wardrobe with saruals, kaftans and flowy headscarves...
So, of course, we love the prints!

the 20s

Channel

To each new season, there is an era that is revisited, and this Spring and Summer is no exception!.
The raging 20s are back, and we are loving it! An a-line dress and a long strand of pearls? Got em, love em! And let’s not forget art deco patterns and jewelry. It’s also the perfect trend to emulate if you want to keep the colour-blocking fever alive and well


the sleeveless tuxedo

Givenchy

Oh boy, do we love this! The sleeveless tuxedo is by far our season favorite. It can jazz up any look, from the jeans+t-shirt combo to the little black dress, or nude over leggings… It’s a must and we need one!

the total pastel wash

Givenchy

Ironically, we are using the same look for a hit and for a miss. The Molly Ringwald inside of any child of the 80s will feel like saying “Yes! Yes! Yes!” to a total pastel look, but there is just something about pastel colours that feels washed out and blah to us.



(don’t get us wrong, we lovelove the flowy tuxedo top, even in soft pink… we just don’t think it needs to be worn in a total pale candy floss ensemble)

large belts

Burberry Prorsum

We love the look, we really do!

(We’d even go for the large belt OVER the sleeveless tuxedo top)
But it just doesn’t work on most figures… shame

Of course, we didn’t fall in love with everything…
