I supported Korto Momlolu and Theresa Timmons' Designer's Choice Fashion Preview show this year at the Clearchannel Metroplex and found some shots I thought I would share. My Publicist, Meredith Corning, and I sat on the front row, mingled in the VIP lounge and got our photo in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (thanks Helaine Williams!). The designers were great and I had several friends showcasing this year, so it was fun to go show them some love.<br />

Here's some quick pics of my team at Bobby Haws' studio in Little Rock. Bobby has transformed his home living room into a fully functional 24/7 photography studio and it is amazing. I think he normally shoots creative or conceptual pieces, but today was a standard fashion studio shoot. We all had a blast and got some great images.<br />

This season is no different as I tread new waters, think about my marketability, and travel outside my box. This season it's all about the modern, sophisticated Southern woman. As I look around me at the faces and places that are familiar to me, I see my muses. I was truly inspired by all the women like myself with their 9-5's, perhaps underneath dreaming of new horizons and accomplishing their goals. Always dress for that which you WANT, not where you are. These thoughts are the inspiration for my latest designs. Enjoy.<br />

They had seen my 'Black Swan' dress via fashion shows and felt like it would make a great addition to the shoot. I couldn't agree more.<br />
<br />
The shoot is loosely based off the Grimm's Fairy Tale, The Seven Ravens (Source-Wikipedia):<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A peasant has seven sons and no daughter. Finally a daughter is born, but is sickly. The father sends his sons to fetch water for her, in the German version to be baptized, in the Greek version to take water from a healing spring. In their haste, they drop the jug in the well. When they do not return, their father thinks that they have gone off to play and curses them and so they turn into ravens.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When the sister is grown, she sets out in search of her brothers. She attempts to get help first from the sun, which is too hot, then the moon, which craves human flesh, and then the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_star" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Morning star">morning star</a>. The star helps her by giving her a chicken bone (in the German) or a bat's foot (in the Greek) and tells her she will need it to save her brothers. She finds them on the Glass Mountain. In the Greek version, she opens it with the bat's foot, in the German, she has lost the bone, and chops off a finger to use as a key. She goes into the mountain, where a <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_(mythology)" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Dwarf (mythology)">dwarf</a> tells her that her brothers will return. She takes some of their food and drink and leaves in the last cup a ring from home.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When her brothers return, she hides. They turn back into human form and ask who has been at their food. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youngest_son#Brothers_with_a_sister" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0b0080; text-decoration: none;" title="Youngest son">youngest brother</a> finds the ring, and hopes it is their sister, in which case they are saved. She emerges, and they return home.</div>

This year our dresses will be sent to Hope 4 Kids International and delivered by their team. <br />
<br />
I showed a few of these pieces at the Designing Women of Little Rock fashion show, which took place at the original house from the hit TV series, "Designing Women." The house is located in the Quapaw Quarters here in Little Rock and served as a perfect venue for a fashion show. Hope you all enjoy a couple of my designs here and I really hope some little girl in Africa will love them:-)<br />

Have you missed me??? LOL! It has been B-U-S-Y around my way since last I posted. All great things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My line has been growing by leaps and bounds and I couldn't be happier about it. This spring has been very busy and productive, to say the least. I debuted my Fall/Winter 2012 line at Midwest Fashion Week in Indianapolis, Indiana, in March and will be showing it again this summer at Little Rock Fashion Week (July), Baltimore Fashion Week-end (August), and in the fall (September) at Conway Fashion Week (Conway, AR). Talk about someone STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In between these shows, I am also going to be showing in a lot of smaller shows along the way which will include some spring/summer designs. There are so many other wonderful things happening and in the works that I can't share at this time but once I have all the details in order, I do plan to share! In the meantime, check out a couple of my children's designs below. Yes, there is a children's line in the works!!! Exciting times around the studio!!!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;">Hey bloggers and bloggettes! It sure has been a minute since my last post. I hope everyone is enjoying his/her holiday season. I wanted to share with you all my latest show pics. Some of these looks you may have seen on my website or Facebook but for those who have not, here you go!!!! The event was called "Modeling 4 A Cause" which raised money to benefit the local Big Brothers Big Sisters organization as well as to help with the restoration of a local historical landmark, Dreamland Ballroom. The event was held at Dreamland Ballroom and although the venue is old, it was such a beautiful setting. The building is located on Little Rock, Arkansas's W 9th street downtown, which used to be referred to as "Little Harlem" in the 1920s. That's the feel I got when I entered the building before even knowing the history. So many greats performed there which is quite amazing!! So, it's definitely worth saving. Ok, here are pics that were taken during the practice run-through my models did prior to the show. Oh yeah, did I mention I was the featured designer?? ;) </div><br />

I know it's been awhile since you last heard from me here but there has been so much going on since Little Rock Fashion Week (LRFW). A LOT!!! If you follow me on Twitter or if you are friends with me on Facebook then you already know about it all. If not, I will do my best to get you up to speed on what's been going on with N’cholé Féroce™. First of all, I have to thank God for all the things that have happened since LRFW. So many blessings have come from all over the place. I have picked up several clients and one of my designs was even featured in the High Profile section of the Sunday Arkansas Democrat-Gazette over Labor Day weekend. The newspaper clip is posted below. I had no idea it would be used to show some of the Fall 2011 trends. Talk about someone EXCITED!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As if last week couldn't get any better, I competed in the 2nd Annual SARPA (Sexual Assault Recovery & Prevention Agency) Cirque de Couture Design Competition in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and finished with 2nd place. It still felt like 1st place to me because it was something that made me push myself out of my comfort zone. It was a lot of fun and there's no price a person can place on exposure. Below are pictures of my models from the competition. Click on the pictures to get a closer look at their jeweled faces!!! </span><br />

I don't believe there are any words for how AMAZING the week-long event truly was. I gained so many new friends I'm sure will become lifetime connections, on both business and personal levels. In addition, my line obtained a tremendous amount of exposure. All the hard work paid off!! <br />
<br />
Based on the feedback I have received, my show was a big success. Not only was this show meant to bring exposure, it was also a competition. We should know by the end of this week who will hold the "Clothing Line of the Year" award. **fingers crossed** I'll let you all know the turnout once the news has been announced.<br />
<br />
Below are a few pics from different events throughout the week. Professional photos of my Fall/Winter Collection will be posted on my <a href="http://www.ncholeferoce.com/">website</a> at a later date. I will post here once those have been added. Stay tuned!!<br />

With a schedule like that, the city can't help but be jumpin' all week!!! I'm especially excited about the Media and Industry Mixer happening Wednesday as I will be able to do some networking which, in the big scheme of things, is more important than the actual runway show. <br />
<br />
I will do my absolute best to keep you all informed on the happenings this week. Follow me on Twitter (@NcholeFeroce) as well as 'like' my Facebook page for updates! I plan to post my 2011 Fall/Winter collection after Fashion Week so stay tuned!!!Sheilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16372461486836908623noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032158481654244268.post-80562447139898965532011-06-29T12:37:00.001-05:002011-06-29T13:48:08.103-05:00It's Almost Showtime!!I know it's been awhile since last I posted but I'm sure you all can understand why. There has been so much going on with getting prepared to debut <span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">N’cholé Féroce</span></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">™</span> at <a href="http://www.littlerockfashionweek.com/">Little Rock Fashion Week 2011</a> (LRFW), which is just a little under two weeks away. I can hardly believe it! It seems like I just found out two weeks ago that I made it. This experience has been an emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows with the highs definitely outweighing the lows. Anxiety is to blame for the lows, no doubt. When a person wants something so badly as I do being named "2011 LRFW Clothing Line of the Year", there is always going to be potential for anxiety to build. I'm so happy to have a strong support system around me to help push pass those times. Overall, this has been such a wonderful experience. I'm looking forward to what's to come!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times;">After LRFW I plan to post pics of my debut collection, <em>Elegance x Edge</em> on my <a href="http://www.ncholeferoce.com/">website</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times;">I appreciate all my followers and the support you all have shown me over this past year. Your support and encouragement have meant a lot to me. <3</span>Sheilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16372461486836908623noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032158481654244268.post-44719245824757151152011-05-19T16:28:00.000-05:002011-05-19T16:28:01.843-05:00Monthly GiveawaysHello everyone! I just wanted to update you all on my giveaways for the next few months. Due to preparation for this year's Little Rock Fashion Week (LRFW), I have not had the time to devote to my monthly giveaways like I had planned at the beginning of the year. Of course, at that time I hadn't planned on applying for LRFW :) However, now that I am in the heat of preparations, my time to prepare each monthly giveaway has been shifted to my designing. I do plan to resume the giveaways after Fashion Week so please be patient :) Until then, follow me on my "Journey to Showtime" because it's going to be exciting!!!Sheilahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16372461486836908623noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6032158481654244268.post-24757686061732328372011-05-19T11:07:00.002-05:002011-05-19T11:15:51.883-05:002011 Little Rock Fashion Week™ - It’s Fashionment™<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">****screaming with excitement****</span><br />

Easy, flowing cotton that is so soft to the touch. All day comfort while looking stylish. Currently, I have one dress left (size 4 but stretches to a 6 nicely). This dress goes for $45 as is. If you are a lady who likes a shorter hemline, it will be an additional $5 to alter. I plan to have more sizes soon. I'll post when they are available or you may contact me via email to reserve your size. As always, thanks for stopping by!!<br />

Look at what I found!!!!!!!!!! I am HOOKED!!!! I played the trial version of this game on the "All On The Line" (Sundance Channel) website (thanks, Latiste!). "All On The Line", in case you all didn't know, is a reality show featuring Joe Zee from Elle Magazine. He is helping "once-upon-a-time" designers get back into the fashion industry. Great show, btw. I wanted to share this fabulous game with my followers who love fashion as much as I. Trust me, you will love it!<br />

Spring is REALLY here now and I couldn't be happier. The sun shining brightly along with this gorgeous weather is perfect for this "flowy" design. I had a lot of fun making this dress. It was my first time to literally drape and start cutting into the design I envisioned. I call this design "Spring into Sexy" because 1) the colors definitely put me in the springtime mindset and 2) I felt very "classy-sexy" when I put it on. Sexy doesn't have to be skin tight. My husband loves this look and I have to honestly say I love it too!<br />
