Mannequin Madness with Wanderlust & Lifestyle Trimco

We have to admit...when dear SOTU friends and fashion bloggers Emily and Abigail of Wanderlust asked us to collaborate with them and Lifestyle Trimco for their upcoming 'Le Cirque' gallery show, we were already up to our eyelashes in costume design commissions and racing to book our trip to Baku for New Years Eve.

How could we possibly pass up this fabulous opportunity to work with Wanderlust and Lifestyle Trimco creative directer Sean Sager?
We could not!


Together we scoured the SOTU showroom for the best costume pieces to dress Lifestyle Trimco's remarkable collection of mannequins and dress forms. We chose a mix of classic SOTU looks - the Human Chandelier centerpiece, a turquoise pheasant plumage showgirl ensemble and our infamous red feather dress - with the debut of our most recent tour de force, the Bearded Lady...an elegantly surreal gown of hair created by the SOTU design team for the Detroit Institute of Arts.
We had a good laugh and flexed a little muscle during set-up for the show...
Who knew that mannequins were such good models? ;)











The opening reception for 'Le Cirque' was quite a night...

We loved chatting with new friends, catching up with familiar faces and keeping a distance from those dastardly jello shots (ok, maybe we had just ONE).
The Lifestyle Trimco showroom looked incredible!



We can't wait for our next project in this terrific space!
Fashion Week perhaps?
