The Bustle Stalks at Midnight!

[kambriel]

My Midnight Bustle Ensemble and matching handbeaded choker designs were chosen to be on the cover of issue 38 of the French magazine Elegy, so I thought some of you might enjoy seeing a preview! The cover shot of Lilah was taken by my deliriously talented friend Nadya Lev, who's also featured in the issue :)

And it's just too cool having it on the same cover with Fields of the Nephilim, New Model Army, Skinny Puppy and Tim Burton, since these are all people whom I've admired since high school! Come on Tim, you just ~know~ you want a little extra help for a future film costuming job... ;)

Enjoy!,

Followed the trail from ~darkvictoria...I just wanted to say that the dress is so divine. It is something I would truly love to own in the future! I was looking through your journal, and I also noticed that you did the dress for Monica of Faith and the Muse. I bought that issue in large part because her clothing caught my eye! You do wonderful work, and I look forward to seeing more great pieces from you! *inspired*

XOXO!!

Congratulations! It's a beautiful pic, too!

Can't wait to make one especially for you! Just send measurements when you're ready :)

[veil.livejournal.com]

I can't wait :) I Just need to finish another custom outfit (hopefully that will be tonight!) and catch up on some of my catalog orders & I'll be ready. I am so excited to have one of your outfits for my own!!

Thank you for ~all~ of your kind words! That's really sweet about you picking up the New Witch magazine :) The pictures are a bit small, but if you want to perhaps find some inspiration looking at some of the other designs I've made for Monica, you can see them in my Faith and the Muse wardrobe gallery here: http://www.kambriel.com/ftmgallery.html

You're so sweet ~ Thank you!

I just hope you'll forgive me because I was very under the weather when I was getting gifts together, and after I finished wrapping yours, I got the worst feeling that I added an "h" to your name on the inside. :( If I did, I'm sorry!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

...should be on the cover of EVERY magazine!

Ha! Well, that would be an amusing alternate reality for a while ;)
I want to come to Philly again sometime... it's been almost a year! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for a good excuse ~ of course seeing you and Nadya *is* a good excuse :)

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Well if the cat says so, it must be! I hope you're feeling better than you were earlier today. right there with you... ow.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you very "she who is at one with the bread"! Seriously, the triple braided olive loaf sounds deeeeelicioussss.

Your cute card arrived in the mail! I really love the artwork on it. Of course, I'm placing bets that it's the adorable "albino ferret" front and center that compelled you to select it ;)

It's soooo lovely.

I wish things like that came in plus sizes. D:

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

They do! My designs are made to measure :)

[panzerkunst.livejournal.com]

Nice, and a well-designed magazine cover this time. ;-)

[heresiarch.livejournal.com]

ooh, Elegy was my favorite magazine when i lived in Paris... i still have a few back issues from 1999, and the compilation cds they came with.

so yay! the photo of your work is beautiful (of course, the model's not bad either ;) ).

holiday hugs to you and curse, my dear!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! In 2002, when I saw "Elegy" in the shops in Paris, I wanted to get in touch with them, so patience was indeed a virtue in this case. You can still mailorder copies from the US. They have a "comptoir" link on the website and it includes back issues.

You're right, the model Lilah is a STUNNER!

And a big New England embrace for you too my dear! :)

whee!

[sainte-4.livejournal.com]

that's a gorgeous photo.

btw, i saw the photos of you and Batty in Gothic Beauty. they were also quite lovely. :)

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Glad you approve, Monsieur! :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_scarlet_ibis_/]

Really?
:D
Do you have a catalog or anything like that?
*feels excited*

[meddevi.livejournal.com]

awesome!!!!!

[oldhalloween.livejournal.com]

Not a big deal if it is....its not like I'm not used to it at this point. The price one pays for being odd. :0 )

[spangle-kitten.livejournal.com]

The choker is lovely, pure simple elegence!

I'll have a look out for the magazine when I'm over in France :)

Liah would make a bin bag look like a work of art, so in your pretty dress...wow!

[blooddrop.livejournal.com]

How fantastic!! Elegy is a really decent mag! (note to self: resubscribe!) I wish we had something of that caliber here in the states.

P.s. box rec'd yesterday! Have something for you, but I'm a little behind on sending out holiday treats.
