Eustratia Open House.

In February I opened my showroom to the public for the first time and hosted the first Eustratia Open House Day. The event was co-hosted by my friends from Vauhaus and attended by many lovely models I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the last few years. IMG_8533I enjoyed setting up the showroom and showcasing my work in an environment that complemented it. It was also great to interact with people, show them the garments in person and talk about the details and shapes, something that isn’t really possible when, like me, you sell mostly online.

Current Obsessions #23

current obsessions 23This week I’ve been thinking about LFW and what to wear, shoes (which I will expand on in tomorrow’s post), fedora hats (don’t ask me why), origami inspired details and roses (I’m making designing a new applique for my winter range).

My new armoire (which was featured in last week’s current obsessions) arrived this morning and I have been rearranging the show room to fit it in. I can’t wait for the open house day to see how it all works. There’s a pic on my instagram if you’d like to see!

Current Obsessions #19

 

current obsessions 19This week I’ve mostly been thinking about forests, painting my walls grey, something interesting to do with the large but disused fireplace space and interesting ways to display my products in the show room.

I’m also trying to decide what to do with my hair for NYE tomorrow night and if I should keep “Current Obsessions” on a feature next year or replace it with something else. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!
