yomono in d magazine!!

check out my feature in d magazine!! available in print in the may issue, as well as online. 

i'm geeking out over this...so excited and honored that i was included. and thanks to everyone at the pin show for the opportunity to strut my stuff. (or, more accurately, have others strut it in my name)

btw, i just posted a custom listing for this corset on etsy, if you find that you just can't live without it!

photos from fashion cited

here are a few great photos from the event last night! thanks to everyone who came out, and to all the models who strutted their stuff in my designs. i was blown away by the response to my work!

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!

great shot of my "olivia" corset from the back. this corset is completely steel boned, fan-laced, and made from upcycled and organic materials. that herringbone used to be a mens pant.

recent happenings @ yomono

wow, what an incredible couple of weeks here at yomono! i'm just finishing up pin show prep, and i've already got some exciting new developments to announce. next month is going to be inundated with tasty yomono goodness. during march, i'm going to be the artist of the month at ARTisART Consignments! so come by for more gloves, bags, and fresh indie handmade style.

then, on march 22nd join me for Fashion CITED: A Style Event. this fashion show benefits the Legal Hospice of Texas, who do some amazing work for low-income individuals diagnosed with terminal illnesses. tickets are $50 and go to a great cause. there is a link to buy on the Fashion Cited website.

so if you thirst for more yomono, then the next 6 weeks are going to be sweet like honey. (or agave, for those of us who don't eat animal products.)

what's that? you demand a sneak peak? well, ok...but shhhhhh! it's a secret!

behind the scenes @ yomono

my days have been overtaken by cutting boning, crimping grommets, drafting patterns, draping and sewing for the past several weeks. (not to mention the next few weeks going forward will fall victim to the same). and not all without a few casualties:

and before you ask, yes, r2d2 is an integral part of the process. so here's to more of the same! i can't wait until it all comes together for the pin show in february!
