Little Japanese girl in me...

Sunday, June 7th 2009,  I had another great opportunity to work with a very professional team consisting of  Ottawa photographer Richard Gibbs, make up artist Tracy Gifford- Lahey and our beautiful model Jessica NL. We went to shoot some of my summer designs - dresses. Despite we were not lucky with the weather, our creative spirit hasn't been disturbed with that little rain! I think the result are fantastic - cheerful, colorful and flattering airy dresses - we all can use a little inspiration for upcoming summer season! Enjoy!

Last Wednesday, June 3rd, after a long time of designing and planning, we (photographer Eric Mercier and I) had finally a chance to put our effort in another photoshoot. The goal was to design an outfit with a medieval touch but still wearable (with a proper styling) in 21st century.
Our model Christianna did a great job with posing, she is a natural flawless beauty! Despite recent highs and lows in weather we enjoyed a wonderful day outdoors, in one of Ottawa's parks. Hope you will like the pictures!

On one cold February day, TL Rader from Rogers Daytime came to see me at the Richard Robinson Academy of Fashion Design, where I teach. We talked about teaching, designing, and about haute couture. Haute couture that has no limits, that gives us a feeling of luxury and allows us to dream. Here is the interview together with a video from my fashion runway presentation during Ottawa Fashion Week vol II where I showcased my collection for Spring/Summer 2009.
