Success Story NYFW 2012

I consider this my success story of the year. So here we go: 

At the very end of year 2011 I was lucky to be invited to work for a great fashion designer of New York - Leila Shams - Fall 2012 collection.

The designer found me on Etsy - saying she liked my style and my designs. I was flattered and crazy enough to agree to make it work in just two weeks.

I contributed 5 crochet designs from her sketches and carried them out. 
 
The collection was shown during New York fashion week in February 2012.

Another great experience was to manage the manufactoring process of these 5 styles. As crochet can be done only by hand - it was a hard work all summer long. I'm grateful for that experience. Now you can find those pieces in fashion boutiques worldwide.

Leilas' pieces have been worn by numerous celebrities - Kim Kardashian, Fergie, Nicki Minaj, Vanessa Hudgens, Ke$ha, Eve, Brandy, Kendal Jenner, Keri Hilson etc.
