Oxford Conference of Corsetry ’15 – Part 1

First an apology, or an excuse if you prefer: Things have been crazy busy around here with a bunch of changes going on at deux lunes – new atelier, new city, early stages of new designs, a small party to plan.

Second and arguably far more important was the vote on Scottish independence.

I’m so excited for the upcoming photo shoot, and the opportunity to show off what I have been doing.
