As we are coming to the end of the year, bridal season is right around the corner, new and exciting looks and styles, frothy dresses and sexy low backs, and creamy laces.
Allyson Simone is now styling clients and I look forward to help you pick out the right gown and style you for a lovely day.
Inspiration of life is continuing education and to keep dreaming the impossible even when we fall down. Allyson Simone
2017 is a new year, it is a time to be inspired by what you love and finding inspiration all over. I posted one of my favorite pictures of this beautiful home set in the country side of England, serene, charming and a perfect place for marriage and honeymoon.
I was looking through my gown designs and I found this beautiful bride and her new husband. She is wearing a one of a kind gown perfect for fall; sheer, sexy and vintage from the collection presented in New York City. (2009-2013).

This is my favorite time of year, the snow, warm fireplaces, marshmallows, and cozy blankets. A winter time castles a place to explore and a place I would like to visit one day. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All.
I quietly listen to this beautiful song on Pandora, Where is my mind, by Maxence Cyrin. I suddenly had butterflies and my spirt took flight, all that way to my dream, Paris apartment. A wish I had since I was a little girl, seeming less, simple and just a plain as the grey sky. I hope you enjoy this picture as much as I do, because one day, I will be writing to you from the balcony, where my little flower pot sits.
Happy October – Allyson Simone
Textiles have personality, the textile speaks to you, it moves softly, it will romance your emotions and it will tell you what and who it wants to be. I always tell my intern students, even a textile wants to be something. It takes days or even months to figure out a textile persona, follow the feel the birth right and soon enough you have your next collection in mind.
I have worked with textiles for 17 years and for me, my relationship started with my textile. The textile told me what kind of person is she, a bride who is sexy, romantic or is she classic bride. Textiles will tell you the mm, textile terms mm is weight, fiber content, bias relationship, width and pattern use for the textile.
As for some designers they will sketch the collection first, but what if you go on you’re buying trip and find textiles, and the personality of the textile does not want to be what you sketch for your next collection. Then it is back to the drawing board, textiles will make or break the collection, and craftsmanship is next. Textiles want to be somebody and how you sew the textile is another critical factor in creating that special someone.
