Something old something new and nothing goes to waste



I have my hand in so many designer/artist projects currently. First there is my solo company of Hair Accessories aka ANGEL LUST,which I am currently building a web store for by the lovely Mathew Noren my tea time buddy.

Then there is Angel Swan which is my line of accessories I design with Caycee Black. We use the scraps of fabric from production (nothing goes to waste) and we make beautiful head pieces that match and finnish her collection off to a T!!! Caycee is on the rise,she is def one of my best designer friends. Caycee is a dreamy southern gal packaged in sleek girlish style. We graduated Parson's together and plan to go places together on our fashion journey through time. This summer Caycee will be touring the US at the stores she has picked up,cupcakes and cocktails will be served to the best in house customers as they can shop and preview her collection first hand.

This coming Fashion Week the lovely Jennifer Fein and I are musing together to create a fashion flower seed that will grow into a big beautiful long lasting fleur. What you ask am I talking about? We are working hard in our lofty studio and draping random vintage pieces on the dress form to create new ideas. We are taking Victorian collars and turning them into yokes,as well as taking skirt slips and making them into full length dresses while adding a vintage bra. We are draping over corsets and tutus to form something that is not so lingerie looking. We are inspired by the essence of femininity and all things ballet fairytale,Its safe to say there may even be a slight touch of Rock n Roll. Our fashion baby is Dark and Romantic in the same time.




This may be repetitive but its from our facebook note:

So once again me and my designer gal pals are planning a designer party exhibition part deux! The goal is to rework romantic vintage pieces into something new and innovative. This project is inspired by the works of the lovely Leah Michelle who lent us her garment from her senior thesis for the Angel Lust Cupcakes and Bows trunk show!!! This is a cooperative effort that will most definitely lead to something greater such as a company. Our first collection will serve as the root of what is to come...The pieces will be available to purchase at a very pretty penny. We will keep what does not sell in our archive for future design inspiration...




Right now we are hard at work in our studio located near the Hudson River which we love with a passion.

We look forward to hand picking pretty girls to exhibit our pretty dreams that will come true fashion week spring 2010!
