PROJECT RUNWAY BEFORE HEIDI KLUM (sort of) STRIPES + PLAID

I have had a love affair with fashion ever since I can remember. Like any passionate relationship, it called for sacrifices. Therefore, at 17 I decided to leave my fatherland St Lucia and move to London to pursue my dreams.

I have to say, getting used to the English weather was not easy, but working for renowned Joseph certainly smothered the experience. I stayed in London for 10 years, but it was only when I moved to Holland when fashion and I started procreating, that is: making clothes. It does not come as surprise that it coincided with the birth of my daughter.

Let me just say I thought sewing at home would be easier than shopping out with my little girl… It was not. Before I gave up, I made a pair of trousers. They are not perfect but remind me of the beautiful time and also the fact that I am not the technical mind.

What about you? Do you have any fashion pieces that you made by yourself?

I'm wearing COS shoes, poncho/cardigan, stripe pants and handmade

FLOWERS AND ROMANCE - SORBET COLOURS IN THE WOODS

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine and man cannot live without love while

romance is the glamour which turns into dust of everyday life into golden haze.

This shoot was done on Valentine’s Day but it was purely coincidence. I wanted to draw the line between flowers and romance, like drawing the line between love and hate, but I guess these two are completely different. That aside, flowers are given as romantic gestures, if you were to be given red roses to a loved one, it is projected as loving this person or just saying “I love You”. When you buy flowers for yourself I guess it just means you love having flowers in your home… I certainly do. I am obsessed with it’s beauty.

I would not say I was romantic, but I like the atmospheric of going out to dinner at a restaurant, when the lights are low and soft with beautifully played music in the background.

What is romance? Romance is showing that you care, but do you need a special occasion to show or do something romantic? There are intrinsic romance e.g. things that are inherently romantic like hearts. Red is romantic, it’s been associated with love and passion. Chocolates are not only romantic, they are complementary.

Back to flowers and romance. Flowers are gorgeous and if you look deeply into them, they are amazing and mesmerizing. I love freshly cut flowers and I can just photograph them all the time, it is like looking into their soul. Flowers and Romance, they do go hand in hand as both intriguing and endangered: roses enfold and blossom, then dissipate. Romance unfolds blossom but you need to work to keep it alive.

I wore soft gentle tones for this shoot. Red on the Valentines, to me, is too cliche, but it’s very personal. I can’t wait to hear your Valentine stories and share ideas on outfits and romantic attires!
