Noémiah Fall-Winter 14'

 Isn't it funny that the last post I wrote before taking some time off with my baby was about some work for Noémiah... and now first one is all about her as well! I have started working again since earlier this fall, but there is not much I can show yet. This gorgeous collaboration took place in late spring and summer, and her De Glace collection is now out, so I can brag. 

 I designed some patterns for her, but she ended up using this single motif instead. It embellishes some pieces, embroidered in shiny gold thread.. and Also a cashemere scarf. What more could I ask for? This collection feels much more mature, Noemiah has found herself... and it's really a pleasure to be working with her after all these years!

Some last minute work for Noémiah

 I did those for my friend Noémie last week, designer behind the lovely brand Noémiah. I was not supposed to take more work.. but I remembered I had told her I'd do it a looong time ago and had forgotten. Woopsies. It's always fun to try and find ways to match the soft look of her brand with  my illustrations. I really like how these turned out. Here are some of my favorite pieces from her last collection... Can't wait to see what she'll have for spring very soon!!

Happy Birthday to my dear old friend Geneviève. 

No matter the distance, country and continent, I always cherished your friendship. I'm so very lucky to have you near right now!

That dress is from the designer Orla Kiely, a common love we share.
(Geneviève is much more talented then me at rendering fabric and pretty dresses, though!)

Noémiah : Roses d'hiver

 It's the second time I get to play around and do hair and make up for a Noemiah shooting. Exactly why my friend Noémie trusts me with this.. I have no clue! It's not like I know what I'm doing. But pitching in with whatever experience I have of applying make up on my own face, YouTube videos and pinterest tutorials... it usually turns out ok ;) 

 This time she was shooting her Fall-Winter collection for 2013, Roses d'Hiver, not only for her stunning as usual feather jewellery.. but also featuring clothes and purses for the first time!!! I am so excited to see Noemiah grow her brand. (and to see her evolve and grow as a designer and person at the same time.) She is one hard working woman, and her creations are nothing short of delightful, feminine and graceful perfection. 


 I basically did exactly what she wanted in terms of looks. She came up with most of the inspiration and styles, her taste is always very tasteful and trendy. We usually agree with what looks good with her products, and she trusts my eye too, whenever she hesitates, since we have worked together on many occasions. 

But little did I know I was going to ALSO play florist all day. ;)


The flowers she had picked were gorgeous. (as was the model, right!?)
Playing around with the gold leaf foil was super fun! 
It was a bit time consuming to apply.. but I think the result is really worth it.

 Oh my, I am a bad-bad friend. You might wonder why her outfit is so summery!? Because... HER BIRTHDAY WAS IN JUNE. Yep. It took my that long to finish her portrait. Actually it took me no time at all, those are fun and fast now that I have the twist right. (I have actually portrayed almost all of my friends now!) I just kept forgetting. And thinking about it and... forgetting again! This is kind of sad, since I've been seeing Edith more now, she is my one and only suburban friend! (Out of sheer luck, we actually live really pretty close to each other on this lovely island of Laval.) So she really did not deserve this huge-as& delay. 

Sorry Edith!! xx

I've had the pleasure to do Hair and Make-up for Noemiah's new Spring-Summer collection. It was really fun, and refreshing for me! The collection is just gorgeous, check it out on her etsy, as she has been listing it gradually! The pretty visual embellishments are from Pskdpenbox.
