I WAS ON THE NEWS!!! & Fabric Haul: Video

It's been a long time since I've talked about my handbag biz Moruka Designs. So here's an update video. Enjoy! :-)

Moruka Designs Fall 2013 Photoshoot Part 1

Photo by Cyrience

 A couple of weeks ago I had my Fall 2013 photo shoot in Central Park. I was supposed to have it during the Summer but things didn't work out. I'm so happy I waited though, because I was able to collaborate with some AMAZING ladies. My partners in crime for the day were Cyrience Creative Studios(photographer), Haviic Cosmetics(makeup artist & makeup line), and

Unusual Star Jewelry(jewelry line). It was fun, creative, productive, and did I say FUN?

This shoot featured two of my Fall clutches. I did two looks so there is going to be a part two to this next week. Aleah, owner Haviic Cosmetics did a wonderful job. I felt like such a Diva the whole time. It's amazing how some lipstick can pump up your confidence. Claudia's earrings are hot and Jennifer did an AMAZING job at capturing the essence of Moruka Designs. I've been working with her for almost a year and she never disappoints.

 This look features the Essie Clutch on MorukaDesigns.com. I came up with the design on a whim, I had something else I was going to go with, and now it is the inspiration for my entire Fall line. What's great is that it is a clutch that can be worn year round. The contrast gives it a little bit of all four seasons.

Boston Fashion Week w/ C'est Magnifique Agency

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of showcasing Moruka Designs Handbags at C'est Magnifique Agency's Boston Fashion Week Fall 2013 Fashion Show. I was invited by CEO Shen Bennett who I met at Small Boutique Fashion Week at this past Fall 2013 NYFW. I traveled there all by my lonesome. I almost didn't go but my gut told me to back my bags and and hit the road. It was so worth it(although the muni-meter robbed me -_-), I did so much more than I thought I ever
would. I even made a video about it when I was leaving home Saturday morning but it wouldn't upload so I had to do so when I got back home on Sunday.

For my scene it was a collaboration between myself and 3 other designers. I was also a vendor, got to pick which of my purses could go with the outfits, AND I got to walk at the end of the show with the models!! I wasn't even expecting that! I was so excited! That was my very first fashion show and it felt so awesome to walk at the end with the models so everyone could see the person behind Moruka Designs. I look forward to more shows.

WATCH OUT!! It's about to get pic heavy!
Some photos were taken with my phone. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to tell the difference. All photos were provided by myself and C'est Magnifique Agency.

Backstage photos

All of the clutches on this table didn't make it onto the runway.
I picked the onesthat went well with the clothing.

These 3 definitely made it onto the runway!

There were 10 shows and it took me about 6 of them
to realize that there were twins on the runway.
My show was the last one.

Photos from the vendor area. 

My phone was too crappy to take runway photos. When I get my hands on some I'll be sure to do another post. 

What in the world was I saying here? lol

Video footage from the entire event.

You can skip to the 5:53 area for my segment or 

watch the whole thing if you like. 

I think I was walking too fast but hey I was excited. -_-

I want to say Thank You to Shen, her models and the rest of her team for this opportunity.

Most of the clutches seen in this post can be found on MorukaDesigns.com. I will be uploading the rest in a couple of days.

Thank you all for reading!
