Busy little fingers!

I've been taking a break from regular designing (sort of) and making some little accessories for Melbourne Cup day. Hair bands, brooches and wrist corsages are all the rage with tulle and lace in abundance!

The top pic doesn't quite show the detail. Very elegant black silk taffeta flower with a tulle centre on a pin at the back making it sit nice and flat on your dress. The bow, a lovely wrist corsage, is in gorgeous black velvet with a cute diamante feature giving it some extra pizazz.

Both hair bands have a metal band which has been wound with black stain ribbon for a little extra pop. The black one is quite exquisite in lace and tulle while the other features a bold floral.

The 2 little rosettes are both brooches with pin backs (rather than traditional brooch backs) to make them sit flat and not flop down as some brooches tend to do. (Besides I didn't want to buy new brooch backs!)

All in all very feminine and tres chic darling!

Back of house fun and smiles

Some snapshots from back of house at the "Re-Loved: Re-Vamped" fashion event held Thursday 30 September in the gallery of Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre. What a great night it was; a full house and loads of fun. The middle pic features fellow designer Lisa Barrett (Tango & James) with models wearing her collection.

What a night!

Thursday 30 September 2010. It was a full house at the gallery of Craft ACT: Craft and Design Centre as Re-Loved Creations presented their 2010 fashion event, "Re-Loved: Re-Vamped". This is the third event of this kind that we have put on and it was most definitely our best yet.

The patrons were treated to fabulous fashions and wonderful swing and jazz mixed with a modern twist by our very talented DJ Shayne Cummins. Our designers' collections were just gorgeous!

For now, I have included some pics from our photo shoot. I'll post more pics soon. Enjoy.
