fashion Cited, Pin Show Grant, D Magazine, and more!

well, yomono's momentum this year has been as unstoppable as the tenacious texas armadillo! enjoy the visual. you're welcome.

so Fashion Cited was a big success! pictures to follow. the venue was amazing, complete with an airplane suspended above the stage, and i networked with a lot of other unbelievably talented local designers. not to mention the gorgeous models who breathed life into my collection on the runway. thanks, ladies!

in other news, i've been awarded a grant from The Pin Show! i'm giddy with excitement, and i can't wait to drop my ready-to-wear collection for FW12. stay tuned for more custom corset and dress listings on my etsy shop, and some great summer garb at IndieGenius.

also, make sure you watch for my feature in the may issue of D Magazine! yet another honor by which i am extremely humbled.

and the Urban Bazaar is coming up next month at IndieGenius, so don't miss that! trust me, you will regret it if you don't stop by. i'm there as a seller and i still can't walk away without buying something.

last but not least, please check out my work at Art is Art Consignments, where i am the artist of the month for march!

weekend recap & new products

it was a great weekend at yomono! the bazaar was a blast, and i added some new product / restocks to the booth at indiegenius. not to mention one of my sargent jinbei crop vests was featured in luri & wilma's fashion show! pics below of a new style for this season - the whitechapel cape, so named for the notorious london stomping ground of jack the ripper. spooky, yes? and yet so cute! lined in forest green thermal for added warmth. grab this while you can, because i only had enough of this vintage fabric for one piece. on sale now at indie!

p.s. there are a couple handbags out of this same fabric, so snag them before they're gone!

donating to #occupydallas

in an effort to support the protesters at city hall park, i will be donating 20% of profits made during the indie bazaar this weekend to occupy dallas. they are willing to sacrifice their time, health, and face the possibility of arrest for speaking up on our behalf. they are our voice, and we need to stand by them.

so please join us at indiegenius in bishop arts this weekend! not only will you be supporting local businesses run by real people (not a board of shareholders concerned only with quarterly profits), but also know that 20% of profits from yomono will go DIRECTLY to occupydallas.org.

to donate directly, offer your services, or participate in the protest, follow occupy dallas on facebook. or visit occupydallas.org. they need a slew of services and items (listed on their website), so if you are in the area and can drop anything off, they would vastly appreciate it.

shop local. question authority. we are the 99%.

bazaar this weekend!

don't forget about the bazaar this weekend at indiegenius! look for cute gloves and new bags at my booth. i'm just to the right when you walk in the front door. see you there!

new product now in-store!

i've just brought these products in to indiegenius today. they are all made from fabulous vintage fabric, so you can rest assured that they are eco-friendly and low-impact (as always at yomono!). remember, my 20% off everything sale is still going on, but will end soon! this includes items that are already marked down - discount will be taken at the register. snag them before the bazaar on the 22nd-23rd...

winter wonder land

so along with some fingerless gloves, scarves, and hats, i've decided to venture into cape territory this winter. i'll be stocking my booth in anticipation of the indiegenius bazaar on october 22-23 with all kinds of sherlock-holmery. follow this blog to get a sneak peak of styles before they hit the boutique! if you see something you like, i might even let you snag it before the bazaar. ;)

and remember, i do custom orders! winter is the best time for corsets....
