The Fashion Design Process

kelly — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 23:14:41 +0000

Where do fashion designers get their inspiration from one may ask? A curious question that I ponder over as I watch Kelly prepare for her new line. Fashion is always changing. Every season brings new styles and trends that circulate among us. Some fashion designers say they get their inspiration from the street style in places such as London , Tokyo and Paris. The media, magazines, and television are also good spots to draw ideas from. A beautiful view, a plant, or a building can inspire anyone for a moment and turn into a new idea. Some fashion designers say they can get their inspiration anywhere, “anything beautiful, ugly and in between can inspire you,” says one designer about her process.

Designers must draw on many areas for inspiration. The past, present and future all figure into this. A good designer knows how to read clues from the current culture, be able to digest them and produce designs that are fresh and unique. Areas to draw inspiration come from current movies, foreign fashion designers work and new functional interpretations.

Spring Shopping Party

kelly — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 22:44:33 +0000

Just this past week we were redecorating the house with clothing racks and accessories to prepare for the end of spring shopping party. The event was a huge hit collecting over twenty plus friends from all over the Seattle area and bringing them to the Issaquah Highlands. Under the roof where designer Kelly Chon first began her line about three years prior, the exclusive shopping party materialized. Local photographer, Ellen Go arrived first with her camera in hand to capture all the fun. The event included shopping, wine, and hors d’oeuvrses, free gift with purchase, and of course was a girl’s night to remember. The exclusive party showcased Kelly’s own two lines Composure by Kelly Chon, and Shi golf, as well as items from her online store, Composure Boutique. What a way to make room for the summer collection! Most items were on sale, some even 40-70% off. The house was filled with happy shoppers and smiling faces. The sale was extended to the online store after the party and although sizes are limited there are some great deals to be found! Visit us at www.composureboutique.com.

Earrings and your Facial Structure

kelly — Thu, 27 May 2010 20:06:53 +0000

Earrings are a nice touch when it comes to jewelry and can make any woman look more attractive. Experts from Millionlooks.com say that certain earring shapes compliment your facial structure while others take away from your beauty.

Round Face If your face is round, choose long and angular curved lines. It will elongate and add a little angle to your face. You can wear drop earrings in dangles, ovals and oblongs. Square and rectangles are also good options, as are angular earrings. Make sure that you avoid small studs, hoops, and chunky large earrings.

Oval Face This is a classic shape that will work with almost any style of earring. You can wear earrings with soft shapes like studs, ovals and teardrops. Spiraled dangly pair will look cute on you. Pearl, diamond, or gemstone studs can compliment this face shape if worn with a shorter hair style. Avoid wearing incredibly long and thin shapes that will just pull you down.

Heart Shaped Face Look for earrings that are wider at the bottom – tear drops, chandeliers, triangle shapes that begin with a point. Even circular and oval earrings will work with your face shape, so long as they don’t taper as they descend. Pyramid style earring will also look pretty. Steer clear of earrings that are heart shaped or very short.

Long or Thin Face You are advised to wear simple studs and chandelier style earrings. Three dimensional earrings will add fullness to your face. To widen this face shape wear circular, triangular (with the point up) and square earrings. Avoid flat or dangling earrings.
