Tangente F/W 2010 collection - part 2

Here's part 2 of the collection. I'm currently working on an order for a new stockist. Very exciting!

After I'm done, I'll be (finally) finishing a tutorial I've been working on for a while now. It's a great little project that recycles old cassettes. More to come...

Tangente F/W 2010 collection - part 1

After 5 weeks of intense pattern drafting, sewing and fittings, I finally have my Fall/Winter collection ready. I decided to name each piece after a street from my hometown. Actually some are variations of the name since my memory isn't that good. The complete collection is now available on my new official website and I will be listing them over the weekend in my Etsy shop.

Here are the first 5:

Calder top, $68

Moreno top, $75

Webster top, $90

Cecilia cocoon shrug, $60

Millie dress, $140

Fall photoshoot

Here's a little sneak peak of my fall collection. The photoshoot was this past Sunday. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side. Throughout the afternoon, we got sprinkled by a few many rain showers. It didn't help that I had a cold and was feeling quite miserable. Even with a cold, the shoot was a lot of fun. Once again I collaborated with local photographer, Kristen Lunman. Our model, Shahnaz, did a fabulous job despite the crappy weather conditions. Even my boyfriend helped out by carrying the umbrella and a step stool for the photographer.

I'll be posting more pictures later this week and I'll be re-opening my Etsy store over the weekend. Stay tuned...

Location

A few weeks ago, I went scouting for a location to shoot my fall collection. I found a great spot in downtown Ottawa around an abandoned building. I was reviewing the pictures when I noticed the dog squatting in the corner. Poor Oscar is always pooping at the wrong place, wrong time.
