Loving Leliévre
Thank you to a Stark for hosting a wonderful event last week! We had the pleasure of being invited to a designer brunch to view the newest Leliévre collections presented by managing director Emmanuel Lelievre and director of international Sales, Catherine De Masin.
Below are some of the bright colors and fun embroideries of the new 2012 Lievre collection.
The new Leliévre & Stark Sonia Rykiel home décor line  was also shown.
The French fashion designer’s collection features a piqué embossed with Sonia Rykiel’s signiture “SR”, large scale houndstooths and woven jacquards with handwriting and flowers.
Lastly, Catherine and Emmanel went over the Tassinari & Chatel fabrics for Leliévre.
Below are some fabrics from the Tassinari & Chatel: Exception collection, some of the most prestigious from their archives. Formerly woven on hand looms which we have often been requested to re-weave. The designs have been transposed from hand loom to mechanical loom to make them more accessible both in price and in production time. Thus making it more possible to propose them for prestigious projects without losing anything of their exclusive and authentic character.

Here are some more beautiful intricate woven archive fabrics with gold thread.
We were so inspired by all of the new (and old!) fabrics we were presented. A big thank you to the Stark Showroom at SOCO for hosting!
Designer Runway Results
The Orange County ASID Designer Runway was a success! We were blown away with what all the teams came up with. So creative!
Our team was led by Anita Jacobi and included Judy’s Custom Workroom’s Elizabeth Bradford (model), Lupe Ortiz, and artist Georgeana Ireland. We had to come up with a concept beforehand, but we had no idea what colors, patterns, or types of fabrics we would be given to work with (in just 90 minutes!) until we got to the design center. We found inspiration in Ke$ha and hoped to be given edgy modern fabrics. Of course we were given beautiful feminine fabrics from Kravet, so it was even more of a challenge creating a rebellious”Ke$ha” look!
TEAM CONCEPT: “Our inspiration came from the music artist Ke$ha and her song ‘We R Who We R’. Ke$ha’s rebellious grungy-chic flare shows us there are no rules when it comes to fashion. Her song is all about being confident with your personal style and making a statement. You are who you are, so own it!”

For our first time participating, we were pretty proud of ourselves. We had a great time and thank all the sponsors, volunteers, celebrity judges, and those who came out to support Working Wardrobes. If you did not make it this year, you will have to attend next year’s event! So much fun!
