samples on etsy

thanks to another big edit to the spring 11' collection, there are some very cute samples for sale again in my etsy shoppe. 2 fiji dresses in geometric prints, a cap sleeve shell in cream silk jaquard and a pretty skirt in the taupe silk jaquard.

shoes

my first pair of rachel comey shoes bought a few weeks ago for the upcoming photo shoot. naturally i will keep them! i wasn't fond of the conventional laces they came with so i added a grossgrain ribbon.
when i was younger i used to sport old men's shoes with big black bows for laces. this is the tamer version i guess.

my flower

giulietta - she always lightens things up around here with her perfect little vampire teeth.

polka dot shell

gorgeous, odd polka dot cotton from italy for the spring 11' collection. i only have 19 yds so turned it into 30 simple shell blouses with heavy shell buttons down the back. oami says the fabric and spare design are a little mina perhonen.

twentyfive shoppe note! size large is nearly sold out in all styles and there is only one size large left for the jade fiji dress.

samples on etsy

a few samples i won't be using, available on etsy.

600

i'll have some very nice samples on etsy tomorrow for sale which didn't make the cut in my spring 11' collection for one reason or another. the fabrics are just meant for another day.

this afternoon i had my 600th sale on etsy, which is kind of insane but in a good way. etsy has been great to me since i opened it almost 2 years ago. it gave me a chance to really use my skills, learn custom fitting, and just experiment in general. so much grew out of it as well as a small but faithful following.

when we get back from nyc in late september i'll have lots of new things coming up. i'll be back at etsy experimenting with new styles in fall fabrics, velvety wools and silk prints.

modaspia.com will become one-stop shopping for whatever collection is currently in the shops - the wave print fiji dress, wool shell, floppy wool skirt, stripey tee, dress sportif etc. i will also be offering made-to-order services for some of these styles on modaspia.com if the fabric is in stock. that means if you are between sizes or have some special sizing needs i'm at your service.

lastly, twentyfive will be launching a terrific capsule collection for fall sometime in october. that's hush hush right now but i hear the look this time is autumn in paris..

parisienne

another version of the "parisienne" for next spring, this in black metallic silk. fine threads of metal woven throughout give it just enough of a crumply look to keep it from looking too precious.
