Last month I was lucky enough to be a part of the Future Oceans Fashion show, which was held at the Victoria International Marina in British Columbia on Canada Day. I had an amazing trip (which you can read more about here) and enjoyed working with Future Oceans so much. Future Oceans is a company that focuses and Eco Friendly fashion, which is something that I am very passionate about. The fashion industry is a huge polluter, and knowing that made me lose some of my passion for my sewing. This opportunity came at the perfect time, and I loved the challenge of trying to make beautiful garments that are as eco friendly as possible. I have some very exciting news about the next step with Future Oceans: I will be having 'Fashion on Demand' garments at the Future Oceans Boutique in the Victoria Bay Center through September! The Fashion On Demand will be four pieces that I will be making to measure for anyone who orders one. Each garment was inspired by a different era and hand stamped by me. This first one was inspired by the 1920's, with a low waist and deep V back. Garment number two was inspired by the 1930's. This also has a deep V back, as well as a gathered over skirt. This was the only one that I didn't stamp, and was a bit of a last minute addition to the collection. This is inspired by a 1940's apron dress with a crossover back. Inspired by the 1950's, this dress has a front button closure and a tiered, mid calf length skirt. This is the first dress that I made for the show, and it's also the most comfortable one! I looked to the 1960's to design it, and it's finished with side seam pockets and is fully lined. And the final garment in my Eco Couture line is this 1970's styled mini dress, complete with puffed sleeves. This is just a sneak peak of each of the garments I made for the show, so keep tuned for more photos and information!

I was lucky enough to get a message about collaborating from LAL Couture, a company that makes custom sized and handmade lingerie. It was very difficult to chose which sets I wanted (all of them are stunning, and have such a vintage vibe to them!), and I am so thrilled with the two that I picked. The first set that I got is the Diane Pajama Set, and the second set is the Susan Lingerie Set It was so exciting to get these in the mail, and they are so beautifully made! The materials that were used are high quality and feel amazing on the skin. I also had so much fun getting photos of them, since they both have such a retro look to them. ~K
