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...

SOTU Scrapbook: New Years Eve in Baku!

Kicking off the new year on the shores of the Caspian Sea was an unbelievable experience...who knew we would be jetting off to Azerbaijan to open for Turkish pop star Tarkan on the first day of 2012?? Follow us on a stroll down short-term memory lane in beautiful Baku...

SOTU dancers Shauna, Torrey and Sarah can't wait to meet Tarkan!

Who needs a pool when you have the whole Caspian Sea?

Well, we do because the pool was AMAZING

Straight into set-up and rehearsals at the Baku Expo Center, we couldn't wait to try out some choreography on that massive stage
