La vie en Rose

Few weeks a go we attended one of the biggest lolita events in Europe; La vie en Rose by Street Fashion Europe and French Cafe!

We were happy to have a selling booth and showcase our new collection at the designers fashion show. The whole event was just amazing! The venue was super gorgeous hotel du Collectionneur, there was many Japanese special guests and the visitors themselves had put so much effort in their outfits! With so many unique outfits, this event was definitely the place to catch the most recent and upcoming lolita trends!

For me the best part was to see my wonderful lolita friends from different countries and meet other lolita creators and to make new friends! <3

I somehow managed to forget my camera to our apartment, but luckily other people took photos and gave permission to use them. :)

Here are the fashion show outfits!

Our new collection Moonlight Dance was first presented at Lver!

A special dress style for the fashion show

Our final look was this rococo inspired set.

New collection: Moonlight Dance

Our new print collection is here and it is beautiful! :3

Once again we collaborated with the amazing illustrator Minna Ainoa of Imagine and Do to create something spectacular! A print with moths, dragonflies, moons and other kinds of critters you don't typically see in lolita.

Minna has a very unique soft touch in her pencil based illustrations, which in my opinion creates the perfect balance between these creepy critters and lolita fashion. The print is dream like, reminding us of summer nights, forests, spirits dancing around bonfire at the midsummer night...we wanted to give this collection a name that reminds us of those things and so we came up with Moonlight Dance.

The print comes in four colorways; pink, lavender, dark blue and dark red.

We decided to offer two kinds of jsk:s for this collection along with a skirt and a head bow. There is a high waist jsk with tulle lace that creates a softer look and a normal waist jsk for more sophisticated classic look. This time we also did another collaboration, wonderful Kuusade created matching jewelry for the new collection!

We wanted to give our customers the opportunity to ensure they can get the design and color in the size they need, so we opened the collection for reservations!

The reservation period is open for two weeks, the last day for making a reservation is 15th of March.

If you wish to make a reservation check our facebook page or storenvy for instructions, you don't have to have account for either of these sites, just send us an e-mail with your information, the type of dress, color and size you wish to reserve. This time we offer the dresses and skirts in 3 different sizes and we are happy to do custom sizing in case the offered sizes don't cater for your needs! Also for accessories, just drop us a line if you wish to have something different from the given options!

A special dress for La vie en Rose Fashion Show.

Heippa! Eli uusi printti mallisto on nyt ulkona! Printin on jälleen piirtänyt ihana Minna Ainoa, jonka kädenjälki on aina yhtä lumoavaa! Tällä kertaa hän loihti meille printin, jossa on sekalainen joukko hyönteisiä, kaloja ja kuutamo, printti tuo mieleen kesäyöt ja Juhannustaiat!

Suunnittelimme mallistoon tälläkertaa kaksi mekkoa, hameen sekä hiusrusetin. Lisäksi teemme myös yhteistyötä suomalaisen Kuusateen kanssa, joka suunnitteli printtiin sopivan upean korumalliston!

Kaikki tuotteet ovat nyt ennakkoon varattavissa Maaliskuun 15:sta päivään saakka. Varaamalla tuotteen ennakkoon saat varmasti haluamasi mallisen vaatteen haluamassasi värissä ja koossa. Mekot ja hameet ovat nyt tarjolla kolmessa koossa, mutta ennakkoon tilattuna myös mittatilaus on mahdollista! Valmiitakin mekkoja on siis myyntiin tulossa myöhemmin, mutta aivan kaikkia malleja kaikissa väreissä ja kokoisina ei ole tulossa, joten jos tiedät jo että haluat tietyn tuotteen se todellakin kannattaa ennakkoon tilata! Aluksi tarvitsee maksaa vain varausmaksu ja loppu summa maksetaan vasta sitten kun tuote on valmis, joten maksuaikaa on lähes pari kuukautta. :)

Infot ennakkotilaukseen löytyy Cloudberry Ladyn facebookista tai storenvystä. Tilauksen voi (ja kannattaakin) tehdä sähköpostilla ja tietenkin myös lisäkysymyksiä saa meille lähettää: Cloudberry.Lady@gmail.com
