Nick's Gown on Miss CA for the Miss USA Pageant

Make sure to tune in to the Miss USA Pageant this Friday Night on NBC. I am thrilled to have designed the Gown for Miss California, Meagan Tandy.

Meagan is absolutely beautiful and the gown that we designed for her definitely matches her beauty. It is a Black Silk Duchesse Satin Gown with a plunging shawl collar, cap sleeves and full pleated skirt (See picture on the left). The collar and waistband are hand beaded with hundreds of Jet Black Swarovski crystals and the gown gives Meagan a definite 1930's Old Hollywood vibe.

I will be at the pageant on Friday night and am looking forward to seeing Meagan take the stage at the amazing Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

I will make sure and report back here with all the details! I am also doing several other gowns and will talk about that in a later posting.

Prada SS07: Fringe Accessories

I simply cannot ignore it anymore as a catwalk anomaly there for show, Prada fringe accessories are everywhere.

On the catwalk on their clothes, their bags.. . .

on more of their bags, on their shoes. . . on their ad. . .
and now even in their store. They've devoted a whole SECTION to these things!

I know that where Miuccia leads, we all follow. But this time, I fear that I will have to stay behind. Personally I am very freaked out by this phenomena, because I really really really do not like these fringe things. It reminds me of cross between Cousin IT from the Adam's Family and red indian costumes. As if THAT isn't creepy enough, now she wants us to carry mini cousin IT's around and wear him ON US?? Ah. . . please keep IT away from me!
