Three new Fantastic Anita Quansah pieces!

Three more fantastic pieces from Anita just landed in the shop!

I cannot even begin to try to convey to you how truly "couture" these pieces are. They are well made - they all have a nice weight and drape to them and they have this certain
je nes cest que...they just feel "right" when on.
Truly exceptional

Ophira by Anita Quansah

and


Nilo by Anita Quansah


Nilo is very interesting in that it can be worn a myriad of ways - as a true necklace or as a body harness. You can experiment at will!

Gorgeous Client Post - Jill of Stella's Roar


Gorgeous Jill, author of the blog Stella's Roar is a long time client so I was very pleased when she decided to buy this fabulous neck-piece from Anita Quansah. I had just borrowed this a few days before to wear the Halston event (scroll down to see the blurry pic) and was getting rather attached to it. When that happens I always feel a little better about sending something off to someone I know will get the "groove" of a piece. I love how Jill styled it - don't you? These long necklaces are rapidly becoming my favorite new silhouette for the summer. Take a dress, throw one of these on and add shoes and you have instant glamour with three easy pieces! Check out Jill's blog here and more of Anita's stunning collection here

PS. Jill recently got married - say congrats peeps!

Anita Quansah - The Textile Collection


I will be launching a new Jewelery line from Anita very shortly
(some pieces from it are in the spring issue of German Vogue!)

In the meantime - I thought it time to give her in-shop boutique a little make-over and have re-shot the entire current collection so you can really see how fabulous these dresses and tops are! I also worked with Anita to re-position them to let my clients get them at the best possible pricing! So if you had your eye on a piece I would hop on over and see its new price - you just might decide to snatch your favorite up real quick before its gone! These are the perfect fresh breathe of air for this new season. Each is an original and will not be reproduced.

The applique work on these is made entirely from recycled fabrics which Anita breaks down and then reconstitutes (by HAND) into fantastical, whimsical designs woven right into the fabric. Look close and you will see fields of roses and florals. Not a bad end to thrown away clothing!

Anita has worked with the great Christian LaCroix, DKNY and Diane Von Furstenberg (to name but a few) and you can see why!

Enjoy!

A Shrimpton Couture (Reworked) Vintage Celebrity Spot!


Because I am somewhat technically illiterate I can't figure out how to pull the pictures from the fabulous Lainey's haute gossip site - Lainey's Gossip so you must click on over and see a sneak peek of Lainey wearing this Anita Quansah frock. Lainey loved it so much that she is actually going to let the world see it on her regular gig on ETalk tonight! If I can snag some video I will post or link t0 it tomorrow!

HUGE mega Catch Up Post

I know I have not been blogging as regularly lately. The shop has been so busy its been hard to juggle it all! So Today I am going to do a HUGE mega catch up post of all the fab happenings of the last week or so! In no particular order - here we go:

First I get hassled all the time about my lack of self-costume posts here on the blog so when I was invited to a dinner party thrown by one of my best friends and UBER talented Interior Designer Lee Ann, of Beaux Arts Interior, I suffered through a mini photo shoot just to quiet you all down for at least a few weeks, les sigh

(wearing a vintage kimono coat that might be listed soon if I don't keep it myself, a Temperley London dress, vintage Chanel necklace & Gucci shoes)

Now on to a enviable vintage costume post:


Kristen Davis wore vintage Milla Schon last week and looked fabulous

Kelly who is the designer behind The Glamouria line, wore her own self designed Crystalline Crumble Collar that was available in the shop up until yesterday but has just sold - sorry peeps - should have grabbed it when you could have!

Meanwhile, my beautiful client and author of the blog Golden Means posted own self wearing another of The Glamourai's creations. How fabulous!

A new semi-precious ring collection just landed in the shop today as well
(CAN you say HUGE? And drop dead FABULOUS - go peek)

And I was pretty pleased to bring an entire NEW collection from the UBER talented Anita Quansah to the site today - She has collaborated with Christian LaCroix in the past - WOW
MUST GO SEE

This 1970s Fish Print gown sold to one of my favorite clients and I was sad to see it go - I can't believe it has not been long gone.
I always have suspected it was a Lanvin but it has not label - bye fishies!

I finally found a digital copy of this picture. I have been hunting for it for a bit - I LOVE the doors and want to use this feel as a possible inspiration for my future permanent studio space. Rustic creams blended with some of the best fabrics on the planet - perfection, no?

I spoiled myself and scooped this coat this week!
Shhhhh don't even tell My Guy a HINT that I did this - will be so in the couture dog house
*wink*

This is a sneak peek preview of a new Look Book story coming soon, shot by the talented Jennifer Cress - and yes that is this rather NON-sexy looking 1960s silk Travilla -
see what styling can do for a dress - yowza


Speaking of fabulous photos - this is from Kelly's blog today to celebrate her week of guest blogging on - ummm on THE LUCKY MAGAZINE SITE. Yep our very own gorgeous girl is guest blogging there all week. I sent her a couple of skirts from the shop to use for some shoots so you might just recognize this little 1950s Hand Painted Mexican Skirt.
Its famous now :-)

And that was my week!

Bye Bye
