Black & Gold

Here's the full set from the photoshoot I was a part of a bit ago. The images came out amazing and shows off pieces from my last collection SO perfectly. We shot in so many cool locations and looking back, the fact that it was an insanely long day and that's when my back was first hurting badly...it was all worth it.

Just love. The photos speak for themselves.

EVENTS!

I'm happy to announce my first vending event!

Upstate New York Metal & Hardcore Festival

I'll have t-shirts (which haven't been shown to the world yet), new samples I've been working on and sale items! I wish I could be bringing more, but due to the recent problems I've had with my spine...as a designer whose clothing is currently all handmade, I was unable to sew for the past month.

But that doesn't mean we're not going to have a good time at this event.
July 8 - 10th
Saratoga Springs at Lee's Park
Pricing was $30 last time I checked and is for the whole weekend and includes free camping for the weekend.




And then if you haven't heard...

Reflections 2011!!!

Scheduled for September 17, 2011
www.ReflectionsProject.com

It's going to be bananas - I'll be posting updates as I hear anything and I'll be posting preview of the items I'm bringing along to the festival mentioned above. Get ready.

So...Where was Johnny Depp?

Over the weekend, I was on hand for photoshoot featuring designs from my latest collection!

We shot around the town of Sleepy Hollow and it was so cool checking out (via the car window) the little town, orange & black street signs and the biggest cemetery I've ever seen.

Below are just three shots I took on my phone from the day. You can kind of see the outfits, but definitely can get a feel for where we were all at. We started out at this abandoned school. I wouldn't say it was really old, but totally got this vibe of 'Silent Hill' and thought that twisted janitor from the bathroom was going to come crawling out from the shadows and kill us.

We survived though!
Photographer was Brent Lee of Phun Photo, model was the lovely Alex and pulling out make up and hair magic was Adriana.

First look and location was in the greenhouse part of this school. Glass was EVERYWHERE! As well as those little red spiders/ants were everywhere.




Then we moved into the school...the first look was up in the attic of the place in this area that I don't even know what it was, but there were wheels, open roof and the model stood on a grate looking down to a really long drop. There was these like 'pens' all about...I said that's where they kept the students who needed to be reprimanded.




They also shot in the stairwell, but I was too busy laying down because my back started killing me! But we then got Applebees and recharged on the drive to the final location.

We got to this old building on the water and had a weird 'non-gay guido meeting' across the way from us. They were also trying to sneak a peek at our gorgeous model who was getting the ultimate drag-vamp make up job.

We shot three looks and this is the first. Won't tell you how they all got down to the little stream there, but doesn't she look like a glam metal version of Ariel after she became human?

Can't wait to get thses photos back!

INSPRIATION

OK! So I'm going to be posting blogs (almost) daily, which will keep me on track and also allow you to see the madness that is me!

Here's what you'll find each day:
Mondays - Weekend Recap
Tuesdays - Music I Think You Should Know About
Wednesdays - Inspirations
Thursdays - Photoshoots / Event news
Fridays - Sneak peeks!

Being today is Wednesday...let's talk what is inspiring my next collection.

I'm working on a collection for the Reflections Project in Spetember and have so many things I'm pulling inspiration from - they will follow in the next weeks. The title of the collection won't be said until we get closer to the date, but see if you can find the theme.

First clue - Lady Gaga's "Judas" video

So, I wasn't really into this song and still it's 'meh' for me, but I LOVE this video. I'm a sucker for anything 'religious imagery' related. Is it offensive? No. And for those who find offense...it's taking the story of Jesus and making fan fiction of it.

It's beautiful and the clothing is AMAZING! What I'm taking from it - embellishments, crosses, ripped clothing, biker chick chic and the fringed sleeves weird straight jacket/leotard blue number with the Bleeding Heart on it.

As if you haven't seen it...

Senza Respiro Magazine

There's a beautiful photo spread and nice little interview in the current issue of Senza Respiro Magazine.

The photos were taken by Tiffany Weber Photography and the models were Kami, Minxy and Sarah - loves!

Electric Hippie

I hate hippies. I have expressed this to actual hippies. Youtube Cartman/South Park and hippies. That is me.

But THIS I Love!

Miss Emma, sporting stunning red hair, was shot by the super awesome Tiffany Ann.

Throw her in a neon electric rainbow hippie/mod romper and doll her up by Ben and Molly Make Up...it's a modern day hippie who's super cool.

I will be posting more images on my website : www.SibylVainClothing.com

Full set will be on the fan page for the eyes of only those who 'Like' me : www.Facebook.com/Sibyl.Vain

Plus, I probably will be posting new GORGEOUS shots of Miss Mischief shot by Tiffany Ann on one of those site before I do here.

Operation Fashion Show - Success!

The show I did at the Fool's Gold Event at Sapphire Lounge in NYC ran by S.E.E. Us Events was SO awesome!

The theme was 'Egyptian Pin-up' and feel the collection supported this theme.

I am anxiously awaiting photos and possibly video. Can't wait!

But for now, here's a quick shot of the incredible Kami by Tiffany Weber. She's wearing a neon yellow zebra print leotard with butt ruffle made by me. LOVE.

Tiffany Squared

I sent out things to two photographers, both with similiar names.

Pretty Pretty Princess

She wears a crown of Sex Slaves homage...

The wonderful Julie of Creepshow Photography sent me some surprise images! I had given her clothing WAAAAAAYYYYY... back in the day and she was shooting with a new model, Hannah, and used one of the dresses she had of mine.

I love it! It's that 'cooler than you' chick who's off to a concert.

Rockin' the silver & turqouise Roxy dress.

Again Reagan?

I had the pleasure of shooting with photographer Reagan Lam and model Rachel Jean and Glamdoll Make Up Artistry.

Reagan always blows me away and I've only worked with him one other time - he was the first to shoot a guy's outfit I made. Go Reagan!

Rachel Jean I hadn't worked with yet or even talked much with prior to this shoot, so I was flattered she asked me to this shoot.

We started in the ghetto, but then moved location thanks to the sun now setting so friggin' early in the day. But I didn't care - look who was shooting, what could go wrong?

Nothing!

So here's two of my favorite shots and you can view the whole set on Reagan's Flickr Link Here
