Einige von Euch haben es bestimmt bereits über unsere Facebook Postings mitbekommen: deux lunes hat ein neues Zuhause in Deutschland. Wuppertal, um genau zu sein. Eine zu Stadt zu erkunden, neue Nachbarn kennen zu lernen, es ist alles sehr aufregend. Ganz zu schweigen von der neuen Sprache, die es zu lernen gilt. Deshalb haben wir heute unseren ersten zweisprachigen Blogpost.
Es hat sich viel getan im letzten Jahr bei Copper Lune. Die größte Veränderung ist, dass wir unseren Hauptsitz jetzt in Wuppertal haben. Wir warden unsere Blogbeiträge deshalb ab sofort in Deutsch und Englisch schreiben. Wir hoffen natürlich, dass wir weiter hin mit unseren Freunden...

In part 1 of my personal highlights of the Oxford Conference of Corsetry (OCOC) I explored the town of Oxford and Jesus College, and some incredible vintage corsets. That just barely scratched the surface.
Wie möchten Sie herzlich zum Open House in unserem deux lunes Atelier einladen. Mit dieser Feier eröffnen wir offiziell unser Studio in Wuppertal, im Herzen des Luisenviertels. Wir freuen uns darauf, deux lunes Ihnen und unseren neuen Wuppertaler Nachbarn vorzustellen.
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. Because of this, I have been doing a terrible job of keeping all of you up to date. Rest assured that I will soon be writing lots more in this space. But first, the Oxford Conference of Corsetry ’15…
Sometimes you end up searching for a great event to wear your most prized corset. This past weekend’s Grand Corset Ball all but required you to do so. This was the culmination of a kickstarter initiated by Melanie Talkington (Lace Embrace Atelier) to create the Historical Corset Museum. I am very excited to see happen. It will be an amazing resource for those who love the historical pieces, and for those who just want to learn from the past to keep the art of corsetry alive and growing.
In the NYC area and still looking for something to do this weekend? My top recommendation would be Manhattan Vintage. It is billed as “New York’s premier vintage clothing and accessories shopping event.” It features 80 top vintage clothing and accessories dealers.

Starting this week Olive’s Very Vintage boutique in Brooklyn, NY will be carrying deux lunes corsets. Initially they will be offering our ready-to-wear pieces, The Minimal and Garter Belt. And with Valentine’s Day just a couple weeks away we decided to add some seasonal fabric choices.
„Winter then in its early and clear stages, was a purifying engine that ran unhindered over city and country, alerting the stars to sparkle violently and shower their silver light into the arms of bare upreaching trees. It was a mad and beautiful thing that scoured raw the souls of animals and man, driving them before it until they loved to run. And what it did to Northern forests can hardly be described, considering that it iced the branches of the sycamores on Chrystie Street and swept them back and forth until they rang like ranks of bells.“ – from Winter’s Tale by Mark Helprin
The beautiful cinematography of last year’s movie Winter’s Tale threw me back to having read Mark Helprin’s magical book upon which it was loosely based. His poetic language virtually transformed the season of winter into one of this fable’s central characters.
