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!

Fashion Cited tomorrow night!!!

Don't forget to come see me tomorrow night at Fashion Cited! I'll be showing 10 looks at the Frontiers of Flight Museum...doors open at 6:30.

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.

by the way, pressing a full circle is quite a challenge.

new product @ indiegenius!

you saw them at the pin show pop-up boutique, now get yours at IndieGenius! second-hand wool and organic cotton lining make these bracers (aka gauntlets) a great sustainable accessory. (not to mention unexpected and fashion forward) these are steel boned but not rigid, so they are very comfortable to wear. they close with adjustable slide buckles, and i have them in medium (8" at widest point) and large (9.5" at widest point). these are sold as singles, but contact me for a price break on a pair, or for a custom order.

designed to be unisex, these look great on both men and women. top picture is truer to actual color.
