working on a commissioned piece for a gent's gift to his lady for an anniversary! we decided on a massive silver chain braiding piece - close to the neckline, with  yummy green beads scatterred throughout! I can't wait to see how it turns out -- i keep picturing the final look in my head !

also working on another bridal piece! similar to the one I just completed, but individualized for the client's taste ~

AND for the AMDA fashion show.. getting all my 70's surfer girl neckwear + wristwear completed! the show is going to be SOOOo fabulous ~ title of the show is "amplify" -

"AMPLIFY: Expressing and defining identity through global fashion.

Fashion has the ability to enhance, create, or hide identity. What we put on each day is an extension of not only the person we are, but the culture we’re in. This year, the designers have created collections that explore the intersection of global cultures and identity. They have taken inspiration from street fashion, architecture, geography, folklore, and everything else that defines and creates our sartorial selves."


my collection is titled "femmes de la mer" or female of the sea in French :: get ready for my favorite time period + culture ::
 --- Tickets available at the Braden Box Office in the Bone Student Center or at Ticketmaster.com [http://www.ticketmaster.com/Amda-Fashion-Show-tickets/artist/1558356]

more spring fashion trends

from latimes.com:

Shoppers may also notice a ’60s and ’70s aesthetic dictating the shape of denim this season.
“Denim flares are really hot,” says Caprice C. Willard, vice president-regional planning manager for Macy’s, where brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Levi’s have incorporated the style. Flared and wide-leg jeans are also big sellers on the boutique level; Satine’s Lee says wide-leg jeans have been flying off the shelves.
On spring-summer 2011 runways such as Derek Lam’s, models wore wide-leg jeans with tucked-in white button-downs and chic wedge sandals. On the street we’re bound to see a more relaxed version of the look, with women wearing bell-bottom-style jeans with T-shirts and sandals or perhaps flared jeans with a tucked-in tank top and a blazer for evening.
The other denim trend for spring is a gamine, ’60s crop. The pant leg ends at least 2 inches above the ankle. The jeans look great with ballet flats or a low-mid wedge sandal.
The ’70s vibe also includes versions of the maxi-length skirt and dress. Floor-grazing styles were featured in the collections of Max Mara and Jil Sander and are showing up in stores such as the Gap, J. Crew and Club Monaco.
“The maxi-dress is really important this season and we are seeing a resurgence with it,” Willard says. “The maxi length actually stays important in Southern California all year long.”

AND BRIGHT PIECES!
