Skeleton Key Photography

I worked with Chloe of Skeleton Key Photography for the Holiday/Winter Line and we got together for a special shoot at ReBar in New Jersey. Was stoked to have model/mua Amanda Grande strike a pose and she's like a combo of Angelina and Kat Dennings. We also had friends come out to provide background support and it turned into one big party. All clothing Sibyl Vain.

Numinous Magazine Party

I was asked to be one of the designers to show at the Numinous Magazine Release Party at the 3rd & Girard Bar in Philadelphia earlier this year. Talk about a great way to start the new year. You can find more information on all the models and artists on Facebook.

Holiday/Winter 2013-14 Collection!

So happy with the release of the Holiday/Winter collection! I'll be offering pieces with size options. Dresses, leggings, tops, skirts and fun bow accessories!

I will replenish the store as items are bought, but the 'elf vomit' print will be made in limited quantities, so once the fabric runs out, it's gone.

Pieces are sold only online and I now have two stores I sell at:

Sibyl Vain Etsy

Sibyl Vain Storenvy

And thanks to Gigi Rose for modeling and Skeleton Key Photography!

Last Summer Flashback

About a month ago, I was part of a small art/fashion reception where I 'modeled' alongside real models like Mika Kenyah, Niazja Blessed and Emilia Batgirl for Chablis Designs. It was fun though!

What the designer also does is do video for LSSTV and he reminded me to check out the video they took at last summer's fashion show at Times Scare in NYC.

Well here it is! My assistant Connie is featured halfway through and has the most wonderful things to say. She's so supportive and helpful. I'm at the very end because I was running around like a nut and couldn't talk more.

My Etsy is Full!

Added a bunch of new things to the Etsy store before the weekend. The lovely Gigi Rose modeled for me. Gorgeous!

Nattestid and Gil Rivera

I really am so random with shoots and also very picky. Me and model Nattestid had been talking about shooting together since we worked together at the Queen of the Jungle event. Last minute she set up things with Gil Rivera Fotography and we had an amazing makeup artist, Mia TheMlook

So how could anything go wrong? Well...they didn't. Except for being in a cold studio because I complain about everything, some incredible shots came from this.

You can check out more images on my website or Facebook. Like the fanpage and you'll see lots more images even before I post them here!

Cake Boss and Who?

Earlier this month, I got to be the designer for a fashion show put on by Mika of Sugar & Spikes Casting and Kitty Crystal the Tattoed Artist.


Look! That's them!

It was a crazy day because we got hit with a bad snow storm and made driving not fun, but cake waits for no man! Funny thing, the original filming date was supposed to be on a day when we also got a big storm.

It was rush rush time fitting models and being selfish so I could get my hair and makeup done, haha. It was intense watching Kitty do the special effects makeup on the models. They got 'Walking Dead-afied.' And what was also just amazing was that Ashley from Cake Boss/Next Great Baker was a model for me. Whoa.

Once production gave us a 20 minute heads up, I started freaking out. We walked over to an unconventional runway and waited for the cue. The audience was not disappointed by the models and did I mention the most amazing cake that was brought? Can't tell you about it except that Mika and Kitty had a big part in it!

Not too sure when the episode will air - I think after the summer. Sucks waiting, but gives more time to plan a huge viewing party!

Queen of the Jungle...Long Overdue Recap

Back in January, on a freezing night, Brooklyn Wildlife and La Bella Roma transformed a small NYC lounge into the jungle! I was asked by Mika of Sugar & Spikes to provide clothing for the fashion show part of the night. Alongside killer make-up artists (Devin Dollface Alexis, Crystal Cakeface) and hair stylists (Gloria Espinoza), we made these girls show their animalistic side with Mika taming them as they made their walk into the crowd. (I've forgotten some names, let me know if you see who I've forgotten)

It was a fun night and the main event was a beauty pageant between burlesque performers and drag queens! Too many beautiful ladies all around.

Afterwards, me, my sister and her good friend hit up Otto's Shrunken Head in NYC and got glow in the dark drinks and danced to doo-wop. And of course, ended the evening with disco fries at the nearby diner. You can catch those adventures on my Instagram - SibylVain

Next Event in NYC!

The party never ends! Last month I had so much fun at the SFX Party held at R Bar and now this month - I'm showing off my designs!

I'll be updating on Facebook and Twiiter with what time my gorgeous models will be rockin' Sibyl Vain - I'd said make sure you're there by 11pm! I'll be bringing along pieces used last week for a filming of Cake Boss with the Sugar & Spikes ladies plus a couple new things.

Come and party with us!

Cynical Fashion Magazine Issue #1

I've worked quite a bit with mua Brittany Diaz and her main photographer, Madness Photography. They have been turning out images like crazy and doing big things, so it's only natural a magazine would follow.

Cynical Fashion Magazine will be released April 1st and I was so flattered to be asked to provide wardrobe for their first cover and for an editorial. Even more stoked that the featured model would be Allison Goldfire. Whoa.

Make sure you check it out and for more updates, add the Sibyl Vain Facebook

Inspirational Update

I'll explain the above image in a minute. So here's a little update in the magical land of Sibyl Vain Clothing and also a little bit about my life too. This will either be boring or random and funny.

Been asked to do a million shoots and one big project. Currently working on a million things that I can't really show online...maybe teaser shots.

Waiting for my laundry to be done right now - it's 11:30pm

There may be a monthly event in March or April that involves different artists and music and I might be showing a few designs at. So rad!

Dying to get back to weekly dinners with my best friend, who has been a slave at work. Yet, my poverty at the moment says I needed a pause to save up to splurge at new restaurants.

When does Spring happen? I want to do outside shoots!

I also do take care of wardrobe on film sets and for theater productions. Was on hand at a short film shoot at Cafe Lalo and it was SO cool! Really trying to get out there and find more gigs.

Looking into selling at two big events this year. Sent in an application and have to wait till March for confirmation. I have high hopes, but last year didn't get accepted, so we'll see. The other I'm just waiting for them to announce when the next event will be this Spring. But of course, me and my sister agreed to do the Spring edition of the Philly Punk Rock Flea Market.

Conflicted in life...right now, debating buying Manson tshirts on eBay. Think I'm going to do it.

Truthfully though, there's something in my life I'm conflicted over and it drives me nuts. I know what I should do, but I know what I want to do and they don't match. If I was a 'normal' person (no seriously, there's something I want to write a book about and have it turn it into a movie because people wouldn't believe me, but I'm not about to reveal it to any non-super close people), I wouldn't be debating this.

But I look at it as: Out of misery, comes great beauty.

While it sucks to be miserable and confused, I'm using it to fuel my designs and most importantly, my drive to work.

I have my next 'collection' concept all planned out, but will keep quiet about it until we're close to shooting things. Below and the image above are some inspiration I've been looking at. I'm going nuts because I have these intense images of how I want the shoot set up and I just want to bring them to life like yesterday.

Tiffany Ann Wonderment

Having been able to work with Tiffany Ann is just tops in my book. I've sent over quite a few things to her and stellar images always emerge.

Just wanted to put together a post from the last batch of images she had sent over to me and actually...it's been quite some time, haha. You've probably seen these on Facebook or Tumblr, but here's a few I don't remember posting and that are just too gorgeous.

Riot Vixen Magazine...Again!

Jinxi Jey (right side) wearing a Sibyl Vain bow bikini in the current issue of Riot Vixen Magazine! Photo was done by Madness Photography and hair/mua by Brittany Diaz (see previous post for even more images of that shoot).

And guess who's on the issue's cover? Miss Mischief! So fabulous, not to mention that she is also wearing a Sibyl Vain studded bust leotard in the last issue of Riot Vixen Magazine. Whoa.
