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.

See you in Vegas!

Upcoming in my world, Las Vegas Fashion Show!!!  I still can't believe this is all happening.  Totally out of the blue and completely blessed. My biggest thank you goes out to Milka Von Rhedey, Founder and CEO of Fashion Week Las Vegas, LLC for this amazing opportunity.

My runway show will be covered in color and gold.  From both my labels M.Velia and Melissa Velia to new spring accessories exclusively from my slowly expanding accessory line.  Plus my show will open with a little surprise! I'm really hoping to video blog this whole experience but I'm having a little trouble with my new camera.  Hopefully I'll have it up soon, so stay tuned!!

One more thank you, to my family and friends for always supporting this little girls dream who grew up to dream even bigger! Love you!

Banging Trunk Show

Hello Darlins! So much to blog about, so little time!  I'm sorry I never got a chance to blog about my recent photo shoot.  It was truly a lot of work, with its ups and downs but over all it worked out great thanks to an amazing team.  Check the blog, According To Aimee for some behind the scenes of my photo shoot!

Moving on, this past weekend was busy busy for me too.  I had a trunk show for my boutique and the launch party for M.Velia, my new label.  So not to overwhelm ya, I thought I'd share on the trunk show first.

For those of you who don't know, I own an online boutique that caters to woman and to what I now know, men too.  I started this little shop almost 3 years ago, to help fund my clothing line.  What started out as something that was just going to be a means to a knew beginning, turned out to be a huge successes.  Today Chu-La Couture Boutique not only sells "statement pieces" all around the world but host trunk shows and benefit trunks show all around California.

This past Saturday was one of our fabulous shows hosted at the posh Rockwell VT restaurant and bar.  Not only is this place a chic little venue to eat at but their food is amazing!

The trunk show was a get success, thanks to this fabulous venue, our kind waiter, our fashionable host, chic guest and of course these....
