My Penny Dreadful photoshoot

After this totally crazy Halloween week I have a bit of time today to present you the results of my Penny Dreadful photoshoot with the amazing Neil Kendall of Chester!
Neil specializes in vintage style photography and is very well-known in the burlesque scene. He worked with many international stars and has a very unique style! If you want to see more of his work have a look at his website!

Ready? Here we go!! This set was custom built for our shoot - I asked to go for a seance-vibe, so here I am tarot-reading in my victorian parlour!
Hair and makeup were done by me as I don't really like other people doing it for me! I was planning to go for 1890s hair, but it was a bad hair day! lol

This is probably my favourite shot!

And another one in full colour, just to show you how vibrant this looked in real life:



 As you can see we ended up telling the story of how the seance goes wrong. ;)


I also purchased a lovely little scorpion necklace to go with the theme from Elegant Curiosities, zooming in here for you so you can actually see this:

 Soooo dramatic!


And here's one with a different outfit and setting - step inside my victorian brothel! :D

This is only a small selection though, I received a folder with over 40 images from the shoot. It was a lovely experience working with someone so creative!

And I guess that's all folks! Hope you enjoyed this! :)

All costumes designed and made by me for Odelia Opium Costumes, shoes by Bordello.

Belle Epoque Week 2013

Here's a little recap of this year's Belle Epoque Week in the swiss village of Kandersteg, happening traditionally in the last week of January. I created some daytime outfits to wear, but unfortunately caught a bad cold, so didn't even get to wear all my costumes! Anyway, here's the images:
Eine kleine Zusammenfassung der diesjaehrigen Belle Epoque Woche, die jaehrlich in der letzten Januarwoche in Kandersteg im Berner Oberland stattfindet! Ich habe einige Tagesoutfits angefertigt, war dann aber leider zu krank um alle meine Outfits zu tragen! Hier ein paar Bilder.
The gang! I'm the one on the left in my all new 1890s sports suit! :)
Here's a close up of the jacket!
Die Gang! Ich bin ganz links in meinem neuen 1890er Sportkostuem! :0
Hier ist ein Closeup von der Jacke!


The suit is made of brown english tweed that I bought locally. I used the Laughing Moon #110 and made the jacket and bloomers of view A. I love the big sleeves and the fantastic fit of this jacket!
Der Anzug ist aus braunem englischen Tweed, den ich hier vor Ort gekauft habe. Dazu habe ich das Laughing Moon Schnittmuster #110 verwendet und Jacke und Bloomers nach View A angefertigt. Ich liebe die Puffaermel und den tollen Sitz der Jacke!

I also made a victorian lounging suit inspired by Poiret/Caillot Soeurs, after an original seen at the recent Fashioning Fashion exhibit by LACMA.
Ausserdem habe ich noch einen Lounge Anzug im Stil von Paul Poiret/ Caillot Soeurs genaeht, inspiriert von dem Originalmodell in der Fashioning Fashion Ausstellung vom LACMA.

 And finally a shot from the Saturday night ball in which I'm wearing my yellow 1870s ballgown!
Und zum Schluss noch ein Bild vom Samstagabend Ball, zu dem ich mein gelbes 1870s Ballkleid getragen habe!
