Papusza Goes to Toxic Mermaid Land

I recently had the pleasure of working on a project with talented blogger, stylist, artist, photographer, model-and beyond-Ashley Garner. Ashley has a great style blog called Elegant Idiosyncrasy, and she recently did a fabulous short story and editorial in two parts featuring some pieces from my new streetwear line, Papusza S´eANCE. Check out the editorial/short story here and here. Ashley also interviewed me.... throughout all of these blogs I was remarkably impressed with the great concept and gorgeous (well styled and modeled) photos included of my clothes. Ashley did all the styling, photography and conceptualizing of the story herself... which I find really impressive. See some of my favorite shots from the photos she took below. You can also find wares from the story available for sale here in my etsy store. Most importantly... don't forget to follow Ashley's wonderful blog. She always has great thoughts to share and insights about fashion-I'm so glad to have been able to work with her and get to know her over the years.

Papusza Joins the Circus

In December I was hired by the amazing Vau De Vire Society as the newest addition to their costume and wardrobe crew. I have been really enjoying working with them, and thus far have had the pleasure of working a small handful of events for them, including The Sea of Dreams (with Gogol Bordello!!!) and The Edwardian Ball. Ed Ball LA is next month, and I am really excited about it. See some shots below of some of the pieces I have designed for them, done wardrobe for, or had a hand in creating for...

The first two pics are of the pieces I made and have the most time invested in working on; gorgeous Russian music box ballerina's (pancake tutu's custom made by Tutu Etoile)...

Some photos from Edward Gorey's "Doubtful Guest" stage re-inactment, which I had a worked on under the direction of the fabulous Pamela D Een, VdV's costumer of 7 years...

I recently had the pleasure of having some garments from my new collection of bridal wear shot by talented LA-based photographer Tatiana Gerusova. I was excited to learn last week that the photos of my white french net bridal wrap where approved by Vogue Italia-super exciting! Please see the photos below and stay tuned for more photos of my bridal wear by Tatiana from another shoot.
