I thought I should post what I have been doing lately.  So from my last blog I was gathering ideas in my brain for the plan Ice Queen photo shoot with Gord Zeglinski.  Finally I pulled out the materials that I will be working.  Yeah, it's time to use my iceblue sequence fabric.  It would suit well for the project.  I also pulled out some materials to creat some shading and will give my design some structured like ice blocks.  Did my sketch and meet up with the photographer and the body henna painter.  Kim is awesome and she does really very detailed work. I'm going to ask a jewlry designer to make me the crown and the buckle that will go with the design.  Will see.

Finally I change the layout of my Gallery/Archive.  Please check it out. Go to my website and click on Archive.

It's in motion and you can hear music.  Keep on clicking everyone!!!!!

Also my On Line shopping is craving for new client

Stay Warm,

Alex     

It's January in the Prairie  and there's a lot that happen since the last time I wrote my blog.  

Well. I had been updating my site especially my online shopping.  All the new design that I was working on is up for sale on my BigCartel Account. http://alexespinosadesigns.bigcartel.com

Please visit my online shopping and see if there is anything that you like.  My pieces are of limited quantity, and one of a kind hand crafted carefully by your's truly.  

Pre Fall Fashion  2012 also starts to show some amazing deisigns.    Sooooo inspiring.  It's making me feel to get going and work on some fabrics that I have on stock.

I've been asked again to do a photo shoot by Gord Zeglinski he had the ICE Queen in mind.  We are collaborating with a Tatoo Artist to do makeup.  That should be a very interesting project.  

My idea is still playing around my brain,  It has not quite settled in yet.  First I have to nail down the material that I want to use.  Hopefully once I've done that I can go on to the next step.  Documenting the process would be educational.  ICE Queen here I go!

Stay Warm now everyone.

How was your Halloween celebration?  Hope you all have a hell of a good time.

Well my schedule was none stop since I last posted something on my blog.  And yes we did the photo shoot out in the country.  It was on a perfect day very sunny and the sky was blue  and the temperature was warm that we were able to take photos with our fabulous models with out worrying that they will get frost bite.  It was a lot of preparation and there was some scenario that we cannot avoid but we made it happen.  Thanks to the crew who were very professional especially to all three fabulous Model.  So here is a sneek peak of the photo shoot with Gord Zeglinski and our models

Jacquie, Marney of Panache Model Management and Lennard Taylor.

From the photo shoot I got called in by my business agent from IATSE local 63 to work for the Ukrainian Dance ensemble who were touring Canada.  I almost did not get this call but I manage to do it.  Fabulous costume, great performers.  Off they went to Ontario for their next performance.

 

Also a long time family friend who was celebrating her 65th birthday had ask me to design her something for the occasion.  Over all my days was just none stop.  And now we at Winnipeg Fashion Incubator is preparing for our next Fashion event which is a Fashion Market on December 10 from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. at Red River Campus on Princess Street.  If you need information please contact WFI by logging in to their website.

Well, nice blogging to you all.  Until the next time.

How are we all doing?  Here in Winnipeg today September 17, 2011 the weather is starting to let us feel that Fall is coming.  It's a typical fall temperature which I loved.  Not to hot not too cold.

Well, my Wicked adventure was a blast,  I had a wonderful time working with the traveling company and also learned a lot during the two weeks that they were performing in Winnipeg.  Looking forward to see them again in the near future.

They are such fun crew.

Right after the show I prepared my self to do another project.  Gord Ziglinski one of my photographer had asked me if I would like to do a photo shoot with him on a specific site out in the country side.  He wanted to use the color of red a lot  and sent me photos of some of the jewelry that he wanted to use.   

So off I went to let my imagination gone wild.  I finally came out with an idea, my Wild Wild West interpretation.  Edgy yet very sophisticated.  Exquisite use of material a little bit on the Lux side.

Once I was able to put it all together,  I contacted  the models  that we want to work with for fittings.  

Not quite there yet but I know I'm heading into the right direction.  The Wild Wild West.

So tuned in for the final result of the Gord Ziglinski's photo shoot 2011 " The Wild Wild West. "

Hello Fashionista,

Those of you who are in Winnipeg, must get your ticket to see Wicked at the Centennial Concert Hall.  It's up until the 4th of September.  My Local 63  business agent book me to work on this amazing production.  I am so grateful for that because it is in deed a fabulous show.  The performers and the crew are absolutely DEVINE, The sets, the lighting, and the sounds,  O. M. G . !  Of course I am mesmerized by the way Susan Hilferty  designed the costume. It is out of this world.

I love the way she wickedly detailed and draped  the costumes.  So refine and yet so wicked.

I promised you just like I said to a close friend. It is a fabulous show.

Cheers  WICKED Wardrobe Department! Excellent!

41/2 star out of 5  Winnipeg  Free Press.

Thanks once again for reading my blog,  especially to the one who sent me the lyrics for Snoop Dog's  " Come around my way"   So nice of you to do that.  

It is August and I was very please that I stayed in the city.  My local 856 called me to work in a Movie  AMERICAN GIRL. It is being filmed in the city right now.  

So off I went  looking for the location.  I'd say I am still not familiar with the city because I almost did'nt find it. When I got to the set I met the Assistant costume designer Soo Luen and the rest of the costume designer department personnel.  

The Movie world heh , Bright lights, Big stars lounging in their director's chairs, Hair stylist running around with hairbrushes and hair spray can. Costume crew with exquisite costumes in their hand . Makeup crew painting faces with precession.   

The shooting is loaded with technicians running around  performing their tasks.  Ahhh the movie world.

July is here and we are celebrating July 1st  CANADA DAY.

Lately I have been pre occupied by working for Molson making outfits for the Molson Girls.  They are making it at Dauphin's Country Fest  

Summer is here and everyone should really enjoy the warm weather.  The gardens are blooming and the warm of the sun is making everyone make them visit the country side.

This CANADA DAY I was able to ride my bike along the Red River banks through the Waterfront District of the city.

I brought with me my super compact camera and was able to take some shots of the blooms on my bike path.

Later in the evening my Mentee Drew  invited me to her sister's condo to see the fireworks.

It was awesome watching it on the 17th floor of a high rise condo.  

Happy Birthday CANADA.

This is it for now.  And enjoy and have a safe summer.

 

Wow time flies and once again it's the end of the month.  I hope all of you are  enjoying spring.

Well,  we officially launch Winnipeg Fashion Incubator last thursday May 19 and was so please that we were able to launch it.  Winnipeg fashion people turn out to see what Winnipeg Fashion Designers are doing.  Thank you so much to all the people who volunteered their time for the event.  Craig Larkins of Global TV was our host for the evening and Samanta Katz was our official photographer. Also Panache Modelling Agency who supplied us all the models and Maeghan Heinrichs who was our Graphic artist and Awesome company who design our website and one of our sponsors.

Lately I was recomended to work with an R&B artist  Flo  from Winnipeg Manitoba.  She is  a very talented artist and had the chance to listen to her performing at a loft party.  It's been very challenging but it's wonderful to help  make her vision comes alive on and off stage.

Please visit Flo's website and listen to her fantastic voice.

Winnipeg Gay Pride is also happening right now in Winnipeg.  Please celebrate with us by visiting their website for the 2011 events calendar.

Well that is it for now and enjoy the month of June.
