Christchurch Canterbury Fashion Beauty Week 2014

Forge Fashion is excited to be showing the latest collection 'Imaginerium' at this week’s Major Holdings Christchurch Canterbury Fashion Beauty Week 2014.

Back to blog basics....

I keep meaning to blog more, so I think I'm going to have to schedule it in for myself......because I keep getting busy and forgetting, well more distracted actually (maybe if I curbed my pinterest addiction a little I would have more time when I'm online)! LOL ;P

Ok Whats realistic? Once a week maybe?

Let catch up anyway.....

I've been getting back some incredible imagery from recent collaborations.....

FASHION BEAUTY WEEK

~So excited, daunted and about to be super busy - but YAY!!!!~

Show Update and Corsets on the go...

The Melodie M show has been moved into the new year....so we are now looking at late February 2014. Which works out great, giving me a wee bit more time to complete everything and also some relaxed person time with my family over the Christmas holidays :)

This is a piece I've had completed for quiet a while, so to spice it up for the show I've made a matching Corseted Bralette  and Skirt which I really love.....high wasted shorts to finish I think.

This is a another version of the previous Steampunk Style with matching Skirt and Bolero. I've tried it on a model and think it just needs a modesty placket for the front...otherwise it's good to go :)



***Now on a personal note.....I have recently had a very unpleasant experience - yes it has finally happened, my images are being used to falsely promote and sell imitations of my original corsets and accessories. This just down right sux, but it does make me realize that if somebody else thinks there is money to be made from my designs when I'm currently not making any myself - things need to change. So time to work harder and get business savvy, I was already planning a bit of professional overhaul but this just ups the desired level!!**


PS My garden is cranking - it's the biggest I've ever tended and I'm really finding alot of joy in all aspects of learning to keep it. And yay for herbs and goodies right out of the garden :D
