behind the style

On we go, here come the photos of the fashion show! (Photos by graubild and Rainer Amler)

Here comes another firey fella — the firesheep! Designed and created for the Lifeball next saturday. Here are just some hurried pics taken in the garden and in my workshop, better photos will follow soon.

A dress comes to life. The underconstruction and a first draping-test can be seen in the previous post. The entire dress is constructed from only eight pieces of (grey) upper material. I could have numbered them down to five, if the fabric would have been wide enough to cut the back and the whole full circle skirt in one.

Here we go, some further draping tests:

Skirt is attached, back pleated. || Draping the sides, testing the postion of the black strip.

Finished!! For now just some details.

This week I’m working on another outfit from my Fifties-Rococo-collection. Here you’ve got a first impression. The entire dress will be mounted on a bodice made from linen and cotton, last pic is a very first “sketch” of the upper drapery.

… make sure, your groom is neatly dressed as well!

Now featuring menswear! (Well, I’ve been making menswear for quite some time, but I must admit, I just didn’t own a proper dressdummy for taking viable photos). The groom’s wish was to wear a Kilt — preferrably a black one — with a matching jacket. And as I found the classical combination of a short tailored jacket and vest a little bit boring and not really suitable for an off-beat-wedding, we went for a short uniform-styled jacket made from black loden and appliquéed leather stripes.
