We were told today that we were chosen by Carmichael Claith as an accessory designer for Voltage- Fashion Amplified '10. Words cannot describe our excitement..."adrenaline rush" came to mind. Hands slightly shaky when typing, in a good way.
For those of you who don't know it please visit the link...it's inspiring. There is also a profile on Christine Carmichael (of Carmichael Claith). For Voltage '09 she was inspired partly by the Scottish Highlands. After some internet digging...I found that we're the same age, live in the same city...and p.s. I am Scottish (clan Mattheson to be exact). It's fate.
So...lots to do with T minus 4 months until the big day. What an awesome opportunity...and such an amazing show to be a part of. Not only are the clothing and accessories amazing every year, but the local bands consistently tear down the house...not to mention the out of control production skills by all the backstage talents. All I can say is, "f", it's amazing. I guess I know what we are doing prior to my birthday week (4/23) next year. Voltage will be a great kickoff to MN Fashion Week too.

Luckily we had today at the boutique to work on several Spring inspired headbands for our upcoming collection. These are just preliminary thoughts...a mood an inspiration is yet to be nailed down for next season. We'll keep you posted. Right now we are feeding off some amazing found vintage objects and our fave birds. (squeal) Two new custom orders today too...due prior to New Year's...do-able.
This is what Sarah and I call "organized". Joke...this was mid-prep.
Kinda loving these old award ribbons from various time periods and events. The dark blue one featured here was 1st place at a MN Peony show. Peonies are A-mazing, heart.
Also inspired by the awards ribbons to make something reminiscent with blue velvet...
Love this purple sparkle twig. Beauty.
There's a little birdie in here, hiding. You can't tell here but that bottom ribbon matches the bird almost exactly. Great finds. This birdband matched my beret today...great combo eh? Sense my sarcasm?
Working, working, working...
