New SOTU Showroom!

SOTU Productions and Lifestyle Trimco...

a match made in showroom heaven.

We are so excited join forces with Trimcos creative director Sean Sager to bring a little magic to West 25th street!

The creme de la creme of our costume collections will be on display along with the *drum roll* debut of our ready-to-wear line, inspired by SOTUs unforgettable live events, travels and extravagant costumes.

I sense a party on the horizon!

What better way to celebrate our new address and show Manhattan what it's been missing?

SOTU Scrapbook: 2008 W Hotel Opening in Istanbul!

We've been doing a little spring cleaning around the office and came across some fabulous pictures from our wild night at the 

W Hotel opening...

We can never stay away from Istanbul for too long!

SOTU Does Vegas...Again!

Who doesn't love Las Vegas?

We obviously can't stay away.

This time we had the pleasure of attending Global Shop 2012 with our partners Lifestyle Trimco and WanderLust fashion bloggers Emily Bache and Abigail Breslin, where several SOTU costumes were used in Sean Sagers incredible booth design for Lifestyle Trimco. It was no wonder that they were awarded "Outstanding Booth", Sean truly raised the bar and we are so happy to be a part of it!

Global Shop was quite an experience...exhibitors were anywhere from the finest decorative moss to gorgeous, meticulously crafted paper Marie Antoinette wigs.

We were in heaven!

Emily and Abigail even found their long lost third Wanderlust blogger...

After a successful show and before we headed home to New York, SOTU and WanderLust gave Vegas a run for its money...or was it the other way around?

And we had no idea that the costume design competition in Las Vegas was so intense!

Guess we better get back to the drawing board....

Spring Fever with SOTU

This winter may have been a bit mild in New York City, but we are ready for spring sunshine...could it be the fabulous samples of SOTU swimwear we've been designing that have us dreaming of beaches?

Luckily the launch of our online boutique is so very close!

We had a little case of separation anxiety at the showroom last week as so many costume pieces are out and about...did you catch singer Neon Hitch wearing a SOTU custom black and white beaded feather piece (inspired by our muse, Josephine Baker) and classic black aerialist suit during the NBA All Stars pre game concert on Sunday?

Wowowowow

Stylist Kyle Luu made some magic with that look...bravo! We loved it.

If you missed it live, don't fret! An online video is available here.

Last Thursday, SOTU attended our first RAW Artists event at the M1-5 Lounge.

Our dear friend, fashion artist Phil Gomez, curated a stunning collection of pieces from his favorite designers...including yours truly! Phils runway performance at RAW:Activate was absolutely inspiring, and it was a pleasure to show some of our favorite pieces amongst so many talented artists.

Doing the Moon Walk with SOTU

Each time New York Fashion Week rolls around, we can't wait to dive into a new SOTU event...last season, SOTU models caused a commotion around town representing Moussy during Fashions Night Out.

And who could forget our favorite hairspray truck?

This year, we partnered with Cole Haan to create an original dance performance and glowing astro-costumes for their LunarGrand wingtip launch party.

SOTU choreographer Victor worked with our amazing team of dancers to surprise party-goers at the downtown Cole Haan store...emerging from the crowd in custom LED embellished space track suits, our dancers owned the night with a seemingly spontaneous performance to "Walking on the Moon" by The Dream ft Kanye West.

Cell phone cameras went up with lightning speed as Lashonna, Maho, Ashley, Ryan and Julio moved through the crowd.

Even the Wall Street Journal was in on the fun...

As another great night came to finish, we lit up the cobble stone streets of Soho in true SOTU fashion and bid adieu...

Where is a giant hairspray truck when you need a lift home?
