Love Atiara Featured in Harper's Bazaar Vietnam!

Harper's Bazaar magazine is now available in Vietnam with Love Atiara accessories featured in it's first ever issue!!! This is soooo exciting as it's my labels first feature in an international fashion magazine!!! Super stylist Lorena Perez Lira commissioned two head pieces to be included in this incredible shoot titled Tzarina Excess. They looked great teamed with Alex Perry numbers, a laced black jacquard dress and a lilac tulle couture gown. It was a day filled with high fashion, opulent pieces of furniture and homewares fit for palaces in the most exclusive locations around the world! The shoot took place at Royalty Prussia in Surry Hills, Sydney. The chandelier in the first shot, the biggest I've seen in my entire life is worth a modest $50K! The day was complete with a fabulous team including Lam Tran's photography, Peter Avalon's hair styling, Dave Reid's make-up, the gorgeous American model Dani Seltz, Lorena's superb styling along with my styling assisting and Ha Viet Bui as our photographers assistant.

The two head pieces in the shots below are the commissioned Love Atiara creations in shot number 3 and 8.

Independence Day

Sunday 4th July marked a major event in my handbag designing career, which was previously kept alive in my mind since 2006. It was the day my creations were manifested into actual samples to be featured in a fashion photo shoot, yay! The two weeks beforehand were a mixture of concept briefing, designing, purchasing of materials, pattern making, confusion, sewing, frustration, more confusion then voila - success! It was a huge relief to have 2 completed samples in front of me at 5am Sunday morning, 1.5 hrs before the shoot call time! Phew, I finished just in time! The shoot took place on the grounds of Centennial Park, Sydney, Australia.
