Fall 2012 Fabric Sneak Peek


As I come to the completion of my Fall 2012 Collection, I wanted to share a few of the fabrics which have inspired my design process and have added to the Moroccan flair of the gowns.  This first image is of a lace that was shown to me by one of my fabric vendors, that instantly captivated me and transported me to Morocco.


After that, I searched out other fabrics that would continue the inspiration and fit well with the design essence that I was already working with.  As you can see, there are rich golden-carmel silk dupionis, glimmering sand colored tule, and unusual architectural inspired laces.  All of these not only add to the exotic feel of this Collection,. but also inspire the direction that each gown takes.  Stay tuned for the Collection Release....

Happy Valentine's Day




















Valentine's Day is here...the day of the year that should remind us of the love and passion that we share with our special someone...
It should be the day that you remember what made you fall in love with your partner, the day that your heart skipped an extra beat...
It is a day to remember what makes you laugh together, cry together, be together...
A day to rekindle, to forgive,  to say I'm sorry...
A day to make love and to be back in love.
So...make the best of it and make it last.  Remember to love...
Happy Valentine's to you all....

Fall 2012 Inspiration



The inspiration for my Fall 2012 Collection started with a beautiful piece of lace that was shown to me by one of my fabric vendors.  The unique shape reminded me of Persian Designs that encompass the architecture and culture of Morocco.  I love the rich vibrant colors that are part of the Moroccan landscape, the reds and oranges of the sun, the blues and greens of the sea, and the gold and silver that reminds me of sand. I remember once reading that there is something to "the Moroccan mystique" which is truly inspirational...and that is something that I find absolutely true.  So, without revealing too much, let your imagination run wild and look for the release of the new Collection soon!
