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!

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!

learning curve

the great thing about making custom garments is learning something new. so while i've never made a khaki men's duster or spandex poly-boned corset of my own accord, it's taught me several new techniques to add to my sewing repertoire. yes, i've attained many a wisdom-nugget along the way, including these great gems.

• apparently my machine can handle rubber, vinyl, and chiffon
• singer universal needles deserve more credit than they get
• how to change a drive belt on a vintage singer rather than pay someone $200
• faux feathers are redonkulously expensive
• how to alter store-bought garments that have some funky construction
• how to hand bead

so bring on the custom requests! yomono.fashion@gmail.com

vinyl: not so scary afterall!
