Spartacus Blood and Sand: Costume Highlight

 

If you haven't heard of or seen Spartacus on Starz, I would highly recommend you do. It's created by Steven S. DeKnight who is mostly known for Angel, Smallville, and Dollhouse. I could talk about the gripping storyline and bloody action all day but this is a blog about fashion, and what I really loved about this show is the costumes and I couldn't resist giving a shout-out to costume designer Barbara Darragh for her amazing work on the series. Everything from the gladiator armor and simple (yet beautiful) slave garments to the ornate ones worn by the wealthy. Although the story may not be the most historically accurate, the costumes certainly made it feel that way. 

For now I can't wait for season 2 with Liam McIntyre as Spartacus. He's got some pretty big shoes to fill.

One month from today...

I will be living on Vancouver Island. My fiance and I have decided to pack things up and move away from the  city (for the time being). It will be a much-needed fresh start. I love Vancouver, the fashion, the film industry, the people, the landscape... I have had an amazing time here and I hope to one day come back. What does this mean for Elise Tonn Designs? I think it will be a great opportunity to expand my practices to the Island as well as the mainland with the help of SWFDS the fashion design studio here in Vancouver. I don't mind the commute! 

On another note... I am really excited to start sharing my wedding plans (most importantly the dress)! It is still early, May 26th 2012 seems like a ways away but I have a feeling it will be here before I know it. 

Best,

B

New website up and running!

Thought I'd get a head start on the New Year and upload my new website. Worked pretty hard on it so I hope everyone likes it. There is going to be some significant changes coming up for Elise Tonn Designs in 2011. I'll give you more details on a later date.

Elise Tonn Designs New Site!

New Website

This is how I spend a rainy afternoon... Working on a brand-spanking-new website. This time I am challenging my web design skills instead of using a template. It is looking pretty fantastic, I might say. I have always love art, digital art and web design, it's like second nature to me. I think you all be pleased with what I've done, I sure am. I plan to launch it in the new year, for now, off the make some flash albums!

Happy Holidays everyone! 

My VERY first post!

Hi everyone! New to this Blogger thing, but I'm really excited about it. I want to give my clients an inside look into the life of a busy dressmaker and also have another way for them to reach out, ask questions and so on. I'll be posting about current projects, fashion related items of course but other things as well. I hope you find this blog entertaining and also informative!

Ciao, for now!
