Wedding Dresses

Working hard on wedding dresses.

...and if that is not enough, I have the baddest cold ever!!! ;((( Uh, believe me, I just wanna crawl in bed and sleep for days. But that's not possible in the near future!
Because this weekend I'll have a fashion show with bridal dresses.

Date: February 4th, 2012 - Saturday
Time: 01.00 PM
Place: Expo Arad

This is the first time I make a collection made all out of wedding dresses. Don't get me wrong, it's not the first time I make wedding dresses...but I find it really hard to make a dress without imagining the girl that will wear it. Or how the wedding is going to be...

If you ask me, wedding dresses need owners!
Anyways, back to work now! Images: theFword

Bonjour/Bonsoir

Bonjour/Bonsoir Ëlodie - Illustratrice de France, Paris

You can tell she's French, eight? By the natural free lines...by the overall free-spirit of the illustration! The hair, the wind, the girls, the silly but sexy faces...the felling of a hot autumn even when it's summer outside. All the things that give me a need to drink good wine, eat great cheese and dance the night away!

Anyways, I just thought it would be nice to end the year's first month with some inspiring images. So breath-in the soft colors and get ready for February!!!;)From: Colagene

AAAaaaaa! Can't wait! Absolutely Fabulous Fashion and Vintage Fair...Fashion...Love...ah! A match made in style heaven! ;))

Shots of 'Party Education'

We did shots of 'Party Education'!

Yeah! One after another and another. The camera went snap! snap!, the model moved and I just kept the dresses rolling! I just can't wait to see the end result.

We did the shooting at the Atelier, because of the weather and the time pressure. All the collection will be sent tomorrow at We Love Couture, were you will be able to buy it (pretty soon).

I, for one, had a great time! We make a great team...although we lough non-stop. But that's a plus, isn't it?! Fashion is Supposed to be FUN! So, until I get the images, enjoy a few shots I managed to take!

Party Education - pictures on mannequins

Here you go!
Just pictures of the Party Education Collection on white, soulless, fleshless mannequins...

I'm showing you the collection before the actual photo-shoot, because it already went public last night. We had a fashion show, at La Mouche Society Club in Arad. And you know me, I think it's only fair that you can also get to see it!

But more on the show tomorrow, when I'll post some images.
Hope you all have a lovely Sunday (here it's all white and sunny). Remember to be good, drink lost of liquids, spend time with friends, use moisturizing cream and just have a great time!From: Atelier Arina Varga

My Creepy Staircase

The title says it all.
Really now!...

It is just too sad. My beautiful, light and bright and happy Atelier is in one of Arad's more popular buildings...that is just being left to decay! Nothing is being taking care of. There is no light and people expect persons like me to do all the cleaning (and we do what we can...)

Creepy at night!!! Just like in a good horror, every time I return here during the night, my fist action is to turn on my little flashlight. Click! And then I go up the stair being able to see only what the small light allows me to! Nothing much, but even that is enough!

You can't imagine the horrible things that run trough my head...or maybe you like horror movies as much as I do and then you probably can! :)) But, no matter what, I love this building! :)

Sorry about the crazy post but I just got really frustrated today with the staircase...eh, we all have our moments I guess. ;)A view of the building's inside yard (now that it snowed):Images: theFword

Feel For Me

Imagine a jacket.
Not a special one. A simple one. It keeps you warm, makes you look a little cool...does what an ordinary jack does...AND MORE!

What if this jacket could communicate your felling to others? What if this jacket became part of you (knowing how you feel and what you want to do)? This is the project of canadian industrial designer, Lorea Sinclaire. A jacket that does all that!!!

About it:

The wearable device uses symbolic language to communicate a need or receive a notification. For example different touch gestures imply different meanings. Doing up a button will send out passive signals of your location. stroking the discrete lining of the hem will send out a ‘friend call’. A combination of two hands swiping the outer arms implies you need serious help.
This user interaction utilizes embroidered conductive thread as touch sensors, and an integrated GPS module to send out location.
The user receives feedback whenever someone nearby signals. a gentle vs. a strong pulse of vibration will denote the volume of presence of friends nearby.

Pretty cool, right?
Now, sorry for just copy-pasting the text. But I'm not much as far as technology goes and why would I make a better description then the designer of the project?! :)
Even so, I can admit liking it a lot...but I'm not sure how much good can it do. Aren't we getting to exposed already?! We live our lives in the open and I'm afraid this sort of this is just too much for me. Maybe it was high-time to draw the line!

But I do like it! :P
