Mother of London

Hello Kiddies, so today I went on a interview and found out I will be interning for a incredible clothing brand called Mother of London, if you look up their work you can see it is truly amazing and it's the kind of work I would love to do. Hope to learn so much from them and that I get influence from them. Below are amazing pictures of some of their work.

LA Fashion Week 2010: Trend Magazine

Last Night I was invited to attend a group fashions show at The Libertine on Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood. The location seems like a nice lounge/bar you would want to visit as a west hollywood local, but as a location for a fashion show I think now. My critique on the location has nothing to do with the fashion but it bothered my that when the show was going on people were walking in between the models, I would beyond freak if it was my show. They had three or four designers show, I forget how many because the timing of it was all off. Below is a list of the people that showed, the design duo that stood out for me were the two designers for Btfl people [Beautiful People]. They have nice and simple women friendly designs that are combined with beautiful and vibrant prints. Hope to hear from these designers again and I have attached some photos I got from the LAfashion week website.

'RumpleMunkeh' by Rochelle Carino: 'Sparkle and Feathers and Pearls, Oh my!'- Comparing her late night sewing sessions to the fairy tale 'Rumplestiltskin' and combining that with her nickname of 'Monkey', designer Rochelle Carino launched her "RumpleMunkeh."

Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Cristal Malone!!!

Some of you may not know it, but I have started designing some accessories and I have decided to name this tiny collection Cristal Malone as a tribute to two of the classiest broads in this world, Nomi Malone and Cristal Conners from Showgirls. They were originally a continuation from the pieces I did for Golda Lamey, but this time I decided to tone down on the crazy [haha] and still make them wearable but recognizable as Jewelry by Efgee. Cristal Malone is mainly cuffs and giant rings because they are to compliment women friendly clothing. Nuff blabbing and he is a tiny preview of some of the pieces in different stages of construction. Goodbye for now and hope to see you for Los Angeles Fashion Week

EfgeeDesigns.com

I am proud to announce that I am launching www.efgeedesigns.com my website where I am going to be showcasing all my designs events and which also includes my online store which is still under construction, which will be selling custom accessories and one of kind pieces created by your truly. Below you can see two screen shots of my new site which will be updated frequently along with this blog. That's it for now.

Oh Dramatic Stacey!

Jun Mapue is a understudy for Jeff from Goose McGee Photography and he also took some shots on the day that we were doing a test shot with my garments. He took a different approach and made them darker, which was a very nice decision. Here are these sample shots for you to see. My work with Stacey Mirkin is not done, but it's time for me move on soon and work on other things. Hope you all have enjoyed this ride while it lasted.
