MMMMMMMMMM.........LEATHER!!!!

One of the must-have items for Spring is a leather jacket. The amazing thing about leather jackets is you can easily dress it up or down. When you have a night on the town with the ladies throw on a leather jacket and it will illuminate your outfit. Also, leather comes in so many colours and styles....the choices are unlimited!


Where to get a great jacket? Check out your retail store, like Danier Leather or a vintage, second-hand store downtown like Black Market!



Here are some celebs who are "FEELING" their leather too!

...THE UPDATE!!

What's going on with Lady of Mayhem?

PATTERNS, PATTERN, PATTERNS!!!

I have started making patterns for my designs.

The tools that I usually use are various rulers, a lead pencil, tracing paper to trace over the pattern and marking paper to draft my pattern on. Also, a tracing wheel and paper scissor, cause you never use fabric scissor on paper, the sketch of what I will be drafting.........and so on...

Then I will be cutting them out in a fabric called muslin, which you use as a rough copy. From there my team and I will go over the designs and make corrections. And than I am back to doing....PATTERNS, PATTERNS AND MORE PATTERNS...

As much as I complain, I love it!!!



Peace!

Mayhem Photography Shoot

On this bright and sunny day, I spent my time in a forest styling a photo shoot. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing and I ended up using an outfit I designed a couple of years ago. We were going for a high fashion look. The outfit I designed was inspired by a Geisha. I basically took the idea of a traditional kimono robe and exaggerated it. The sun was HOT! I felt sorry for Shannon who had to wear that big kimono jacket but, she still WORKED IT! The shoot turned out pretty good. I had fun!! IT WAS MAYHEM!!
Mr Mayhem, himself-Mayhem Photography and model, Shannon ................Yours truly and model, Shannon

I will be posting the final shots very shortly.

Peace,

Known for her devotion to independent films and her savvy fashion sense, Chloe is a definite Lady of Mayhem. She started her love affair when she got hired to intern on Sassy Magazine. The editor hired her for her striking sense of style. She's recently became fashion advisor for British Elle Magazine. I will be looking forward to her contributions to the mag. Chloe has a very eclectic look. Her strong European features and her C'est la vie persona and charm has made her a fashion icon to keep a look out for in the future.
