Finally Updated my website!! yay!

Got the new logo up on the intro page of my site

and working on the blog and twitter right after this blog.

I decided to keep it simple yet cute.

I usually sign little hearts around my actual signature so I felt it worked perfectly.

I hope you all get a chance to visit my recently updated website from your desktops www.joanak.com

New dress project!

While on the red carpet at Gower Studios fashion weekend. I met an adorable girl Tiffany Ariany and her friend David Ryan Speers. Below is a picture of them doing the interview thing.

We introduced ourselves and exchanged information. Tiffany right away was excited to hear I am an up and coming designer and asked me to contribute to her movie "Perfect Destruction".

I accepted the invitation to contribute to her movie. The only scary thing was that the dress was due Saturday. Leaving me only a week to gather the fabric and work with nothing but measurements. No fittings no nada. It just HAS to work.

As always I hit the ground running so first thing Tuesday morning, I payed my good old friends a visit at the Los Angeles fabric district and as always they totally hooked me up with amazing deals ;-D

9th. Street Fabrics (213) 627-5961

<That was me calm cool and collected while I was shopping for fabrics....yeah then I got home and started freaking out about the due date of the dress! lol Thankfully Tiffany chose a dress from my website. "The Heidi" which doesn't have intense manual labor but regardless making a dress for a movie in a week while having NO BABYSITTER and a husband that works Mon-Fri is stressful!!! There are a couple of things that occurred to me while I was making the dress itself. Thankfully its not too late to change it. The original dress has a pedal trim on the top and bottom. I started to think about how it would look on film and made a back up option in case it didn't work out. Below is the original pedal trim and close up.

So because I wanted to have a back up to the fringe trim I made this straight edge finished ruffle trim. We will see what happens and what they choose to have on the movie but, so far so good.
