Great Product Shots for Rocco Sauvage

I sent my new samples for Rocco Sauvage to New York City to be photographed this month.  I have had a great luck with Jan Klier Photography which is now based of NYC.  I first met Jan in Seattle in 2010 at a Seattle FGI (Fashion Group International) meeting.   I hired him the following year to photograph my next collections of Rocco e Dante handbags and the photos were great.

In 2012 Jan Klier moved to NYC and we kept in touch via social media.  When it was time to find a photographer for my Rocco Sauvage he was my obvious choice.    I have always said if you find a great vendor its best to take them with you wherever you go.   I am not going to switch vendors if I find someone I can trust and will work with me and has reasonable rates.

I have worked with two other  good photographers but for various reason I was not thrilled with working with them.  One of them was a drama queen and would freak out if I asked for changes and the other one was a great guy but did not have the vision for fashion photography.    I like working with Jan because he is practical and he has the artistic flair that is important for fashion.   He does not let his ego get in the way and he offers useful solutions to help me find my "look" with each project.

Fashion Accessories Lead Time

Image
As a freelance fashion designer and consultant I spent a lot of time educating my clients about the process.   There have been many times where after I design a handbag or accessories collection for a client the expect to have the samples in a few weeks.   I put this timeline together to educate people that are new to the fashion industry about the lead time. Designing and launching a fashion collection of handbags or other accessories is extremely time consuming and complicated.  There are many steps to the process and it takes months (not weeks) to launch a line. My goal as a fashion consultant is not only to make beautiful products that sell but also to manage the complicated process for my clients.  I enjoy the process and have been managing this product development and production process for 15 years.   It is amazing to see your sketch turn into a final wearable product! Check out my new info-graphic about the fashion timeline.  If you have any questions or need help with

We Don't Exist to Please People

Image
  Don't allow anyone to take away your happiness or your life because they are not comfortable with the choices you have made in FOR YOUR OWN LIFE.  The  title is a bit misleading. I don't exist to please people. It took me a long time to figure that out. One of the main things I noticed after I was about 30 years of age and got married was that I had a lot of people noticing how I lived my life, my career, my house, and basically everything in general. Before I got married I was a bit of a nomad and traveled all over the world. At that time, if people were judging me, I was too busy flying to Thailand or Amsterdam to notice, and my house was a rented room on the beach in Los Angeles.  After I got married, the criticism started rolling in like Thunder. First, it was, my apartment or house was not big enough. (sorry rent is sky-high in Los Angeles), then when we bought our first house, it was still not big enough. Then, I got a dog, a pug named Rocco, and my condo was not clean
