Ruffled Up

by cecylia on August 28, 2010

I’m sure you’ve heard me go on and on about Antonia Goy. The Berlin designer’s pieces have me drooling every time I see them. I didn’t wait long to purchase the Ruffle dress as stock is limited and I didn’t want another piece of my favourite garment to get sold out again.

I haven’t demonstrated it here but there’s actually a hood hidden in all the ruffles! It’s wool jersey, very warm. I’m wearing a vintage necklace and belt, and my Repetto booties. Hope you like Antonia’s pieces as much as we do.

Mammoth Post

by cecylia on July 31, 2010

I cannot thank God enough for the arrival of Aris Geldis Paris jewelery and Antonia Goy’s garments. We are lucky enough to be her first and only stockist in Australia. This is her AW11 collection which means the garments are on our shelves at the same time, if not before, they are on the shelves of their European stockists.

Here are some piecies of Aris Geldis‘ jewelry to bedazzle you… They’re all made from gold or silver plated brass and Swarovski crystals.

The earrings are my favourite =) The gorgeous dresses are by Spijkers en Spijkers and the silicon belts are from Alldressedup.

I gave you a preview of the cape in my last post on Antonia. But here are the pieces in the ‘flesh’. All the garments are made in Germany. I have never come across clothes made in Germany before, except maybe  for some exquisite vintage pieces.  All the black dresses, leggings and capes are made from wool or wool jersey. They are so wearable and warm. The gorgeous printed kaftan dresses are made from silk georgette.

This is my favourite look – the cape is paired with Karla Spetic‘s velvet skirt and the mannequins is adored with an exquisite necklace made from real Swarovski crystals (they’re huge!) by Aris Geldis Paris. She looks demure, classy. Simple elegance, in a nutshell.

The mannequin on the left is clothed in one of Antonia’s stunning silk georgette creations, in rabbit print- can you see the rabbit head on the chest? The print of the dresses are in perfect symmetry. One is sure to stand out in the crowd and attract many many admiring glances in one of these creations. The dress can be worn belted, layered or free and flowing.

The black dress is ‘lined’, front and back. There are more lines on the back and when one moves in the dress, the lines dance. The mannequin on the right is also wearing a neck piece by Aris Geldis paris.

Here’s a close up =)

Antonia’s pieces are limited. Our capes were sold out within a week! I was going to wait some time until I purchased the Ruffle dress but I didn’t want to miss out again! So here it is, in the flesh..

I’ve paired it up with stockings with bows and Repetto booties. On my first day of wearing these booties, I stood for 10 hours straight. These French heels are the most comfortable shoes I own. The necklace is a vintage favourite.

Whoever is lucky enough to own anything made by her will attract many ‘compliments-per-wear.’ I cannot wait to see Antonia at Fashion week in Paris and try on her new collection!

Antonia Arrived!

by cecylia on July 16, 2010

I have been waiting 4 months since the first time I laid eyes on Antonia Goy‘s amazing black laser-cut wool jersey dresses and Metamorphosis-inspired silk caftan dresses in Paris. The Berlin designer’s stunning collection has landed in Melbourne and have come straight into our boutique! I am mad about the designer and her pieces.  You would have seen my first post about her here. Antonia is so gorgeous, and so humble. I have wanted to share the photos I took in Paris with you for so long, now that her garment have arrived,  I can finally show them to you!

This is the collection I chose for the boutique. All the black garments are made from 100% wool jersey so they are a dream to wear in winter. Berlin gets so cold in winter!  The dresses have a futuristic spin but are so wearable. I love the leggings with the knee pads (very first garment on the rack).

This was my favourite dress- the chiffon Ruffly dress, it was actually two dresses (can be worn together or separate) in one. I remember taking a billion years to get it on in the hotel toilet at the Ritz, because there wasn’t a mirror in the toilet. In the end, Antonia came to my rescue. How embarrassing!

Love the shoulder pads on this one. The neck piece is removable. The cascading curls double as a necklace as well as as scarf. You can see a glimpse of the silk dresses on Antonia’s right.

This dress is going to be my winter staple. I cannot wait to wear it with leggings. It reminds me of the gladiator tunics. This dress calls for a statement belt.

Here is Antonia showing me how to wear one of her silk creations. Look at the lines and the colours!  These dresses are trans-seasonal, you can wear them layered over your winter attire and still wow a crowd at the beach in a bikini in summer.

An apron dress that will certainly make you stand out from the crowd. I love the ruching details and the symmetry. Yeah those colourful sneakers are pretty cool too. But I’m more of a heels girl.

The print on this one is just gorgeous. Be sure to get noticed in these dresses! ‘Guten tag!’

We are so blessed to be the first stockist for Antonia Goy in Australia, so Melbourne fashionistas, you are in luck! Come to Cecylia and see for yourself what I’m raving on about.
