Our Obsession "OPEN BACK"



Like we mentioned before we love open backs..... we alter a lot of time pieces to create an open back, next week when I am back in NY I will show you guys my baby, my dress, a dress in which I "opened" the back. I got so inspired after I watching Sara Jessica Parker in the Sex In The City Movie, wearing a pink dress with open back,  while she is shopping and calling Samantha to tell her she is getting married...lol!!! If you still don't know what I am talking about I will show the "my dress" next week. All the dresses and jumper will be in our STORE in 2day's. Don't miss out on our custom made one of a kind pieces.....

LA goodies



We found this great Japanese piece from the 70's, it's even hand painted. I don't think it needs altering as I think its fantastic as is, and we don't want to loose any of the flower detail,  but you never know with Jazz, Lol. 



I love the fit of this cute CUTE little blue dress, I absolutely don't like the white embroidery trim. I think I would like to see it with some studs.... I love studs, I was so in love with the Gucci collection from fall 2008 the studded boots and bags.It  was and still is so HOT!!! I was hoping that in Rome the sale would make them more affordable... NOT!!  I have this thing, I can not spend more then one months rent on shoes or bags,  so the Gucci shoes are still not in my closet! (: To make a long story short the studs will give the dress a edgier look, the dress looks TOO girly cute now!  We'll keep you posted and in a couple of weeks we can show you the end result.

BEHIND THE SCENES!!! At our photoshoot last weekend




We had a look book shoot for our fall collection....We know its a little bit late, but we had so many hot pieces that we wanted to take pictures of, and I can't wait for summer here in NY apart from needing SUN. I can't wait for our summer shoot, I keep fantasizing for some guys, hot guys and some girls in summer dresses, jumpsuits, hot sandals etc., and next week we're off California, I just know we're going to find HOT stuff, I'm super excited!

I'm almost done with photoshopping the pictures and as soon as they're done they'll be up hopefully by the end of the week. So for now here are some pictures from behind the scenes. We wanted to show how DAMN good and fun vintage clothes can be, sometimes it is hard to believe it's second hand, pre worn pre loved. To me it's like new especially when we've altered, reproduced or reconstructed them...its amazing how a simple thing as changing buttons can make a big difference.
So thanks to David (photographer) who also opened up his house to us, Hiro (make up) our girl Liz best darn hair stylist, and of course models Charlette and Heide (red hair) ...Heide whose energy and style I love, I actually met her through another model friend of mine Tonia, who I'm hoping to shoot one day when she's back in NY. Both of them are signed with Muse NYC agency.

Yes! It's DONE preview Ebay store

I have to admit, this selling online is not that easy, I have much respect for everybody that does it .... but I am very happy that we are up, we've been wanting to do this FOREVER. I am even more computer savvy now...:).
To start off with I want to tell you guys my favorite pieces even though I LOVE them all I do have my favorites like the diamante strap jumpsuit, I love it, I think it so GLAM! I love the open back and if you keep following our style you will see we have a thing for open backs, but back to the jumper it originally had a lace back which we took out. We will be showing more before and after pictures of our pieces, but I wish we had a before picture of this one. I hope we will have something soon to show you guy's, we are waiting for Jazz... so lets see what she comes up with, each time it's almost like she is cooking and she always ends up with a great dish. Let us know what you think, and don't forget to check out our
STORE we will have new listings every week.
