Shoes painting, colour styling and… personal philosophy

Have you ever painted your shoes? Made them another colour with any medium?

I did it twice! And quite successfully, so there is nothing impossible if you want to change the colour of your footwear. 

First time was a few years ago. I needed my black shoes to be brown. Back there I had a period of my personal style when I avoided black at all. I created mostly harmonious looks in warm hues, from top to toes. 

Sewing is...

Sewing is...

... hard work and deadlines.

Details are not the details.

The details are not the details. They make the design.

In this post I'd love to share ideas and thoughts I had working on this orange and daisy dress, which I made for my friend Inessa, beautiful lady and great singer. Russian folk with a modern twist was required according to Inessa's repertoire...

We bought fabrics in The Fabric Store (38 Wandoo Street, Fortitude Valley). We chose orange satin, silk mix, and daisy lace, polyester. We chose lace very carefully. 
                                     
                                                           How to choose lace fabric? 
                         There are few recommendations. 
                                       Lace should be:
                               -Pretty strong. You will see if threads are too thin and weak. Holes won't embellish your dress.
                               -Not clingy to your fingers when you touch it, otherwise it will lose smooth finish very soon. And won't last for long.

Pants Magic - my new logo

Let me introduce my new logo.

It took me a while to create it, but I like how it looks.

The main idea it reflects is as follows: perfect pants make you look like a diamond, sparkle with beauty and be always out of the row.  You'll see this leg in a diamond on photos of my works.

Creating of something like this is an extremely interesting process. Logo should be unique, and introduce the philosophy of your business in graphics.
