for Fun and Fashion
It’s that time of year . . .you know the time . . .when you look into your closet and declare “It’s Spring and I have nothing to wear”
Perhaps it is our childhood memories of wearing pretty flowery dresses for those Spring Rituals of old or that we are bored with our Winter black and more black….
REMEMBER . . .”I LOVE NEW CLOTHES. If everyone could just wear new clothes everyday, I reckon depression wouldn’t exist anymore” Sophie Kinsella, Writer
“Spring is the time of plans and projects”
—Leo Tolstoy
As the weather warms up and Spring arrives our urge for renewal – new beginnings – sends us scurrying to redecorate – to clean our houses – particularly our closets.
We determine it is time to weed out and replant with the best new Spring fashions to make us bloom!
“The magic in new beginnings is truly the most powerful of them all.”
Please join us on our YouTube Channel, Dare to be Curious, as we share our afternoon of fun and fashion.
Our friend and designer, Laurie Borsé, followed her dream to Paris, after she won First Place Evening Wear Designer and “All Outstanding Designer” in the Fashion Group International student competition of 39 Universities. The Scholarship to PARIS FASHION INSTITUTE was part of her award.
Laurie told us,
“This changed my life! I vowed I would NOT return until I worked for Yves Saint Laurent!’’
She did just that! Among other opportunities in Paris!
Now a couture fashion designer under her own Brand Label: BORSÉ Laurie Paris she designs between Paris and Chicago designing for private clients Sur Measure.
We were recently fortunate to visit Laurie in Paris.
Yes, there was no elevator (just like in our fav series, Emily in Paris) – so we walked up the six flights to her tiny studio where we were greeted with fresh flowers in her narrow couloir, her door opened and she whisked us thru her studio, out the French doors to her flower covered terrace overlooking the Eiffel Tower!
What a delight!
We sat enjoying French champagne, foie gras, fresh fromage all French delicacies prepared by Laurie.
We also visited her atelier next door where Laurie does EVERYTHING!
And we mean everything!
Laurie starts by sketching her designs – her sketches are truly frameable art! Honestly, they are so very special.
She drapes the muslin to create the pattern and first sewn muslin sample. She makes adjustments and the final muslin is also sewn by Laurie.
Since she designs for private clients, it may take a few muslins until the final muslin fitting. Then it is on to creating final patterns, cutting the fabric, stay stitching all pieces necessary before the final sewing and precision pressing.
Laurie’s love for the entire process from sketching to sewing and hand stitching the final garment is so obvious.
She takes the time and meticulous care needed to make sure each garment is made with quality and love.
Laurie assured us,
“All worth the effort and time. Once my clients step into one of my creations . . .the smile I see on my clients face and in their eyes . . . warms my heart with love and joy and sometimes a tear.”
Laurie is a woman who is truly living her passion for designing.
We are thrilled to feature her on our Dare to be Curious YouTube channel and give our friends the opportunity to own one of her beautiful designs – created with love!
When DARE TO BE CURIOUS was invited to attend a fashion show at Neiman Marcus Chicago to present Law Roach’s collaboration with Herve Leger-Herve Leger X Law Roach…
We loved hearing the story of his lasting friendship with Zendaya . The pair met when she was fourteen years old and in need of a dress for the premiere of the Justin Bieber: Never Say Never documentary.
Since then his client list is a who’s who of Hollywood style icons: Celine Dion, Ariana Grande, Anya Taylor-Joy, Kerry Washington to name a few.
We leave you with one of our favorite Law Roach quotes: ”Work hard, believe in yourself and treat others the way you want to be treated.”
It says it all.
