happy new year! 2008 in review
inspiration: art from
showpony in silverlake
Happy New Year! Thank
you to all of my customers and supporters over the last few years. 2008 was a
busy year for
hello, fabulous
and as we begin 2009 with a new blog page, I thought it best that I start off
with an overview of how I spent 2008:
In January 2008,
after years as a vintage collector and a closet fashion designer, I decided it
was time to get serious and start focusing my own clothing line,
hello, fabulous by
k. hendrix.
With a little help from my LA friend and fashion designer Ashley Paige, I
was able to focus on the world of design and began producing vintage inspired
pieces. In the beginning my collection was colorful and bold with my vintage
inspirations taken from every era. As time went on my designs took on a
more glamorous vibe. I began working with silks and hand beading almost
exclusively, producing beautiful one of a kind pieces.
In March 2008 Ashley
began filming her TLC reality show
bikini or bust and asked me to
be a part of filming. Although the filming took time away from my own designs,
it was a great opportunity to show off some of my design talents to a larger
scale audience. I collaborated with Ashley on her Fall 2008 line and and
focused on helping her with her show for Mercedes Benz Fashion week. The
collection was beautiful and received amazing reviews. This was an experience I
will never forget.
The reality show
continued filming through May 2008. During this time my designs began getting
noticed by both stylists and celebrities such as Courtney Love, Juliet Lewis and
Eve, who began using pieces for red carpet events and editorial shoots. My very
first editorial shoot was for
Ocean
magazine and featured a handmade,
beaded jacket, the first item I had made. Because of all this positive feedback
I ultimately made the decision to take a bigger leap and move East to really
focus on my clothing line, with plans to produce a full collection for Spring
2009.
In August 2008 a
preview of the
k. hendrix couture Spring 2009
collection began selling at Le Bra Lingerie on Robertson Avenue in West
Hollywood. These pieces which included beaded ponchos, beaded jackets and
caplets, beaded swim briefs and floral hair accessories , received rave
reviews and were featured in various editorial shoots such as
S magazine.
Additionally, the beautiful line I collaborated with Ashley Paige to create for
Fall 2008, was continually being featured in editorial shoots for magazines such
as Blackbook and LA direct.
I spent September and
October 2008 continually working on the Spring 2009 collection. Also in October
I began selling my more colorful, urban styled pieces through Gina's Gallery
and Boutique in Cleveland, Ohio.
November 2008 came
very quickly and my intern arrived from Sweden to help
out with the new business.
Emmelie Gustavsson got to work with me updating the
website and the online store. The new website was ready to launch in December
2008, just in time for the new year!
What lies ahead in
2009? The sky is the limit. |
