Yup, that's right...I said the F word
FALL
I hate to break it to you folks but in the world of most fashion designer's right now
that's where we've been hiding all Spring-Summer.
It's the irony of having to be at least one season forward in our industry, always thinking ahead...
I collected, laundered and hung to dry 90 pounds of reclaimed wool sweaters back in May.
Since then I've been feverishly working away on deconstructing all of the sweaters to create our fabric yardage to put towards the creation of our
Fall-Winter 2017 designs as well as other popular knitwear favorites...
(..which might explain why I totally missed a blog post in June HA! :-P)
I'm actually right in the middle of working on this new patch work cowl scarf design from
our Fall-Winter 2017 collection and it's taken me the last week
just to put together x15 of the outer pieces alone...
Despite the tedious workload, I'm feeling REALLY excited with the
end result of this new scarf design...
We had the pleasure of having our photo shoot in a beautiful vintage style, rustic studio called NOIR Studio on location next to Frankfurt in Germany.
HMUA by the fabulous Christine Raab
All of the photo's for this collection were shot with available light which is Thomas's specialty

Liliana Sobral was hands down the sweetest, liveliest, most fun model
I've ever had the pleasure to work with!
LOVED her <3
Aside from designing new collections, I absolutely LOVE being the creative director/stylist on all of my shoots, here I am making sure the wall
doesn't jump out and bite the lovely Lili :D
There's a lot of planning that goes into organizing a professional fashion photo shoot.
The combination of this beautiful location, experienced model and over all the attention and efforts of a creative team made this shoot super magical!
Definitely the easiest and seamless shoots I've ever had the pleasure of being apart of.
Stay tuned next month where we do a full unveiling of the collection on our online shop, website and social media outlets.
Until then I just wanted to also mention we will be apart of an exclusive, NEW and exciting event called First Pick Handmade this September.
