My Story is Art – I Climed a Mountain and then Painted One

This time of year in Utah is perfection for me.  The summer’s droves of visitors have gone home, the sun is warm and the air is cool.  You can stepe 50 ft from the park’s road and hear nothing.  The Hubby and I rolled into town late Saturday and decided Sunday would be our day […]

Trend Sketching Bridal Market NYC 2012 – Watters

Playing with a bold color scheme that ranges from petal pink to midnight black, Watters and Wtoo keep it vibrant and young.  We had two favorites while visiting backstage at Bridal Market and the two looks could not be more different from one another! Iridescent sequins swirl-round a ball gown in a lacy pattern while substantial knit […]

Trend Sketching Bridal Market NYC 2012 – Claire Pettibone

No one dives so deep into our bridal fantasies as Claire Pettibone does.   Fully immersed in what inspires her, she renders fantasy to reality with an obsessive eye for texture, pattern and detail.  Ms. Pettibone is a quintessential artist.  It is clear she absorbs herself in the process of design.  She wraps her life in […]

Trend Sketching Bridal Market NYC 2012 – Marchesa

When we read that Marchesa’s Fall 2013 collection was inspired by the heart of the Iris and the Bulgarian Rose, we were ready to be wowed.  Marchesa did not disappoint. The show opened with jagged edged florals in silk chiffon cascading down and pooling on the floor. Lavish scalloped beading with an exotic flare,  topped […]

Trend Sketching Bridal Market NYC 2012 – Leila Hafzi

We had the pleasure of stumbling upon international and eco-friendly designer Leila Hafzi.   Working in hand dyed natural silks dried in the open air of the Himalayas, her designs evoke the kinetic environment they are created in.  Rough cut edges and flowing, sweeping shapes in a palette of soft natural hues were a welcome break […]

Trend Sketching Bridal Market NYC 2012 – Monique Lhuillier

The much anticipated Monique Lhuillier runway is always a highlight of Bridal Market. The stage was set with whimsical white branches sprawling upwards and across the ceiling for a fairytale forest effect. The models sauntered in a figure eight fashion around the two clusters of limbs allowing their frocks to fan out to their full potential.  […]
