Melissa Velia - FALL 2013 COLLECTION Look Book

 

Introducing my Fall 2013 collection!  Although it is not the entire collection, it is the majority of it in it's prints and details.  I decided not to share the entire collection this early in the season due to those who might be "inspired" by my collection.  Believe it or not, but I've already had issues with things like that in the past.  My collections are never inspired by other designers but inspired by the crazy world inside my head. I decided to shoot this collection with a vintage filter and an off-lighting to bring out my inspiration in the collection.  Instead of doing a fashion show this season, I choose to do a look book and a collection video which is scheduled to be released late this summer.  So without further ado, here the Fall 2013 Look Book.

That's a wrap!

This past weekend was busy, busy.  I know your probably thinking, when isn't my world busy.  Well, you just might be right, ha!  Never the less, I got things done!  Starting with a rehearsal for my opening act for my upcoming fashion show in Vegas.  Wish I could share what it is but it's all hush, hush until the show.  Then, Sunday I wrapped up the S/S 2012 collection photo shoot.  I'm so glad I decided to split the shoot into two different days because they're were just to many pieces to shoot.  My biggest collection to date!  Here's a little behind the scenes,

So as much as I can't wait to show you the whole Look Book, I can only give you a sneak peek till after the fashion show.

Fall 2011 Look Book Preview

Good morning Darlins!  I find myself this morning,  very grateful yet very tired.  As some of you may know (twitter followers) this past weekend was my Fall 2011 Look Book photo shoot.  So all week long I was prepping and organizing for the shoot.  Then, because the shoot was quite a distance for the models on Saturday, the girls spent the night at my place.  So I thought why not take them out for a little dinner at a local posh restaurant.   It turned out to be a loooooong night.  We went from appetizers to the dance floor.  Over all, it was a blast.

How amazing are these lights?

Food was delicious.

Yes, at this point....I was feeling 30.

Love them.

After our long night of celebrating, the gals and I had a call time of 7:00am the next morning.  I was up and crazy! I mean I was running around like a crazy woman.  We had a time frame and I had to stick to it.  And guess what? I did it! Thank you Lord! Also, thank you Lord for the amazing weather. The over-cast was perfect for the shoot that morning.  So after a long morning of ants, bugs, dirt, trips, lizards and scares (lizards), we completed the shoot.  I couldn't have done it without these lovely ladies and of course my hubby. Much love.

So here's a sneak peek at the Fall 2011 Look Book.
