My Fall/Winter 2011 Runway Show from New York Fashion Week, Feb 14th, 2011

NY Fashion Week

I was lucky enough to show my Fall Winter 2011 collection last night via Antavenuesfashionweek.com and as part of New York Fashion Week!

The last two weeks prior to this were nerve wracking and like a chess game....organizing, strategizing, (not sure if that's a real word!), and just making order out of chaos. But it all came together with the help of great friends, fabulous hair and makeup and an amazing group of models!
I've only received a few pics and will post more down the road, but here is a taste............

With the Hair Stylist and Models after hair and makeup and before getting dressed!

Terence & Sarah on The Bonnie Hunt Show 11-18-08

Terence Gerchberg & Sarah Leshner appear on The Bonnie Hunt Show, 11-18-08 to discuss their, (sad!), elimination from The Amazing Race this past weekend.
Terence is a wearing a top from my menswear line! Watch the video clip!

Catching Up........

Wow, I haven't blogged in a while, but I've been a busy girl!

I had my "Store Grand Opening Party" this past week, and was lucky enough to have Terence & Sarah from "The Amazing Race 13" attend!
(Please don't forget to watch them on "The Amazing Race" on CBS every Sunday at 8pm!)
Terence was wearing a top from my menswear line and, as usual, looked "Amazing"!
It was a great night, the store was filled with old and new customers,
old friends, (Donna from Edison, NJ, my hometown),
and newer friends, Judy, (my old bar hopping partner!), Zulema George, the fabulous designer of the Anavaa Kisasa Handbag line, (and owner of the Anavaa Kisasa boutique in Williamsburg!). Even my cousin, Robyn, (who I hadn't seen in ages), came by to support me!Of course, my bff, Pamela was a huge help with everything! She was there with her husband, Eddie, and her beautiful daughters, Daisy & Hannah.All in all, it was a fabulous night! Thanks to everyone who came out to support me!

Opening Soon!!

I'm putting the finishing touches on my new store, and it'll be opening very soon........here is a picture of me in front...........!!

Opening Soon.........................Lois Eastlund @ 153 Ludlow St, NYC. 212-777-1470. See you there!

My Own Store!

I finally did it......I found my own little store, and will be opening a boutique on the Lower East Side............I signed the lease and picked up the keys yesterday. I'm very excited/scared/nervous/happy, and did I say excited???
I brought a few friends by to see the space, then went to celebrate at my favorite bar, Lucky Jacks.............A good time was had by all.......

Project Runway

Is it just me, or did Project Runway, Season 5, just appear out of nowhere?? I mean, where was the big PR blitz for this season?? Is it because it is the last season to be aired on Bravo and they couldn't be bothered to promote it at all? I remember last season's huge media campaign, but this year, there wasn't even a promo pic/article in the local news papers, and not one small item in Women's Wear Daily.Could it also be that nothing could top last season's fabulous "fierce" winner Christian????????
Last nights episode was pretty boring to me, (and I'm a Designer!). Maybe the castings aren't going so well, (as I got another email from Season 6's casting director, they're "extending" the deadline for try-outs). Hmmmmmmmmmm. Time will tell!

Photo Shoot

I've been playing around with imovie a bit, and wanted to make a "video" slide show of my last photo shoot. Here is what I came up with!

Many thanks to my fabulous model, Severe Erase! (Check out her website SevyBags.com).

Here's another one, an earlier photo shoot, back in February, with photographers Joey Quintero and Michael Hauss.

Fashion is Fun!!

I love what I do.......designing and creating clothing is extremely satisfying to me.......here's one of my new pieces for Fall 2008, (and my current favorite!)

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow........

Sometimes the clothes I design feel like my children. Especially when I do "limited edition" pieces, or "one-of-a-kind". I create them, love them. I want them to go out and see the world, but I feel sad when they leave. Well, that's what happened today when I sold one of my favorite new "one-of-a-kind" dresses. So long, my little black cotton knit mini dress.................I hope you do fabulous things and visit interesting places!
