SHAKTURE's First Fashion Show

SUZIE IS IN THE WINNER'S CIRCLE - Happy Saturday! What a week we had at Shakture Couture and what an ending. About a month ago I had the pleasure of meeting Suzie Bailey. She came into the store as most do, a little unsure of what Shakture was about...lol. Well we talked for a while and I showed her what separates us from other retailers. Still not completely sold I told her to let me make a custom racing outfit for her top fuel funny car team. I wanted to give her something that screamed sexy, so I updated the Front Laced Bustier and then her logo and sent it to her. At the same time I decide to make a skull and zipper version based on input from Lacie (Shakture Contributing Designer). Well Suzie TP'ed me to the Silver Motorsports Complex and was glowing, she loved it. This week Suzie had great news to share with me. Apparently Shakture not only makes you look good, but also makes you faster... who woulda thunk it? As Suzie made the winner's circle in her custom couture...CONGRATS!


THE SIMONE 7 & 3 PIECE ENSEMBLE - I love the fall, it is my favorite clothing season. And without a doubt my favorite items are sweaters and coats. I love layering items to create ensembles with scarves, ties, hats and other accessories. So if I am to share my love of this season, I have to give you a base of classic items.... SIMONE IS BORN. This week's two sets are overflowing with couture. So lets start naked, shall we.

As you step out of the shower and wrap yourself in a warm towel you reach into the bag and remove your Eveil Silk Bra and Panties. Cracking open the window you can sense it will be a cool but delightful day. You apply a coat of sunscreen on your cheeks, neck and chest and reach for your new argyle V-neck cashmere sweater with prim cuffs. As you slide it's soft material over you head, you eye the matching pleated two tone cheerleader skirt with raised stitching and laced four grommet closure... because your legs are so made for walking.

You are in the midst of running your errands when the phone rings, the client you have been chasing for weeks wants to meet in an hour. Well we don't want to give the wrong impression (at least not too soon) so you reach into the bag again and remove the semi-sheer long sleeve silk and linen blouse as well as the color coordinating two pocket slacks... instant business wear. As the ink dries on your new contract your blackberry vibrates with an IM.... "Join us at Encore for drinks at 8, casual chic". With no time to go home you look into the bottom of the bag to find the combed cotton, five pocket, stone washed Tribal Hip Huggers... PERFECT. The life of a PLATINUM DIVA is tough, but someone has to do it.


THE TRACY TENNIS SWEATER FAT PACK - Our last item is a fat pack in linen and silk. Based on the same cut as the Simone, TRACY is the classic tennis sweater in Crimson, Tangerine and Teal. As a jacket layer it is made to go with your favorite tank, tee, blouse or cleavage.







OUR FIRST SHOW - These sweaters were release at today's DEPO FASHION SHOW of Smart Casual/ Business Wear. After week's of preparation, SHAKTURE is no longer a fashion show virgin. Hosted by Depo's Marissa Meltzer and directed by Honor Lehane of One Source Modeling, the event was a great success. The feeling of seeing people wear and enjoy the clothing we make is both overwhelming and humbling. We do not take our customers for granted and strive to earn your continued patronage. It is truly a labor of love.

And with that I leave you for the moment. To all those I have met for the first time this week, thank you for allowing me into your world. And to those whose lives I am already a part of, I ask that you love yourself more than you did yesterday and...

Always Feel Sexy
