I love how Ciarla mixes soft ruffles with the metallic-looking silk skirt, a unique combination of hard and soft that works beautifully together. What bridesmaid wouldn't want to wear this to a wedding (or out on the town afterward)? And you don't have to be too jealous of your 'maids: Ciarla's styles also make great bridal shower or rehearsal dinner dresses.

This dress seems to epitomize what Ciarla brings to the fashion table: Simple, well-cut dresses that can easily migrate from a wedding to a cocktail party, essential for any chic, young twentysomething’s closet.</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">She has sold clothing in American and Asian boutiques but is also an Atelier designer, meaning customers must make an appointment to be fitted for each dress she creates.</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">Ciarla’s journey, albeit very admirable, is somewhat typical for a designer. She graduated from California Polytechnic State University with a Bachelor’s in communication, began her career in New York as a stylist at the former YM magazine, received her fashion design certificate from Parson’s School of Design and then moved to Italy, where she received her master’s in advanced fashion design from the Polimoda International Institute of Design and Marketing.</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">After growing up in Sacramento, living in New York and studying in Italy, Austin seems like an unusual place for Ciarla to settle down. But for Ciarla, the city’s reputation for casual, unique style has become more of an inspiration than a bore.</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">“You have a combination of each coast here,” Ciarla said. “You have the New York hipster and the West Coast casual thing. The girls here add their own twist to their outfits.”</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">The garments that hang from a rack in her studio seem to reflect this casual, simple approach to fashion. A-line, knee-length cocktail dresses that each have unique but classic necklines hang next to dresses from her Alice in Wonderland-inspired collection, appropriately called “Alice”. The line includes exaggerated flowers, and belts decorate necklines or cinch wastes, silk organza layered on top of metallics, and full hips, a look made famous by Dolce and Gabbana’s spring 2009 collection, are some of “Alice’s” details.</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">Ciarla’s other items have similar themes: Audrey Hepburn’s classic black dress in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” inspired the boatneck bodice and A-line cut that is the “Audrey” cocktail dress. Natalie Portman’s appreciation for square necklines inspired the “Natalie,” and so on.</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">One unique quality about Ciarla, her “Alice” collection and her “Classic” actress-inspired dresses, however, is versatility. Whether it’s meant to be bridesmaid or cocktail dress, each cut can be ordered in a myriad of colors. She also seems to understand that a variety of cuts for a variety of women is essential for any successful, timeless designer — especially one who dabbles in the wedding world.</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">“The brides that come to me want something different,” she said.</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">In Sunday’s fashion show, Ciarla will find out if her designs won in their respective categories. Though she’s eagerly anticipating the award ceremony, there’s business to attend to: namely, getting back to work on her next collection.</p><p style="list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em; padding-left: 0px; ">For more information about Austin’s Fashion week, visit: <a href="http://www.fashionweekaustin.com/" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><u style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; ">http://www.fashionweekaustin.com/</u></a></p></div></span>Jessica Ciarlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04449960471058603706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691193637526121055.post-48815049128799544782009-07-06T20:41:00.001-07:002009-07-06T20:49:50.078-07:00Austin Fashion Week<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqD-Zjr-lddos4a7Fqp1sfJwbP5AHmDNbUk7H8u3jjVmmKjLFMP1f21otKbTbw9_vjBBBHOuxOD4j_L36d3Ekczwwq4f2p8_xhdZofPiP3BMK7rcwQ1ks6s8M8isR70FgWxX1JQX1zE4X/s1600-h/girlsnextdoorinvite.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqD-Zjr-lddos4a7Fqp1sfJwbP5AHmDNbUk7H8u3jjVmmKjLFMP1f21otKbTbw9_vjBBBHOuxOD4j_L36d3Ekczwwq4f2p8_xhdZofPiP3BMK7rcwQ1ks6s8M8isR70FgWxX1JQX1zE4X/s320/girlsnextdoorinvite.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355559171473606754" /></a><br />CIARLAbride will debut new collections at the first ever Austin Fashion Week held July 13th - 19th. <div><br /></div><div>If you happen to be in the area, come visit us at one of our parties on July 15th and 16th.

Thousands of brides searching for high-end vendors attended the show with hopes in finding the right contacts to translate their visions of the perfect wedding. Being the largest event The Wedding Salon has ever hosted a mass of people flew by our booth and grabbed lookbooks and cards. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend as much time as we like with each bride, so if you attended the event and have more questions please feel free to contact our office at jciarla@ciarla.com and someone will follow up with a call.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTJceVV7GzKDhMBTs7VlrQL2qBp4XT9raA3XevlZ5DazqYhFS7CsTGPdkWZ1F78KIG8QXl05sruaSIpbqyFdOCyccsxs5BVTDu1XvZAJEaQ14JsOUxiJNHD-iyLJoapYRKLAB7kV2Jsxc6/s1600-h/web-4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTJceVV7GzKDhMBTs7VlrQL2qBp4XT9raA3XevlZ5DazqYhFS7CsTGPdkWZ1F78KIG8QXl05sruaSIpbqyFdOCyccsxs5BVTDu1XvZAJEaQ14JsOUxiJNHD-iyLJoapYRKLAB7kV2Jsxc6/s320/web-4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319074468294549282" /></a><br /></div><div>A pleasant surprise was Sylvia Weinstock who spoke about her collection of exquisite wedding cakes that can cost around $20,000.</div><div><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjycZPiUSt3gTsGjpK5C0PQ9QLo6_srprTZYmTQnu8Df9BlJ9NUrndyOArmBG4bxaa_v9Q0BlxVZv0fWC5ExmqmlJ_dpoN35r0XCqDyN9FoQggvgPPO2h8BA-SsFeL6cgdE0FBsCd6PQrBR/s1600-h/web-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjycZPiUSt3gTsGjpK5C0PQ9QLo6_srprTZYmTQnu8Df9BlJ9NUrndyOArmBG4bxaa_v9Q0BlxVZv0fWC5ExmqmlJ_dpoN35r0XCqDyN9FoQggvgPPO2h8BA-SsFeL6cgdE0FBsCd6PQrBR/s320/web-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319075944852668818" /></a><br />A special thanks to my friends Melissa, Chris and Robin (aka Lil) who helped me prepare and setup for the show.

Maybe it's the unstable economy or mercury is in retrograde again (nope, I checked) but a lot of artists also seem to be inspired by the "Alice" trend. So, I decided to write a little article for the Fashion Spot which is an online magazine I freelance for. Along with the article are a few of my favorite Alice inspired photos. Hope you enjoy!<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">The Alice Trend: Artists Are Enraptured With Traveling to Wonderland from Couture to Bridal to Film</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Alice in Wonderland takes us down the rabbit hole into a funhouse world of upside down rules and unpredictable characters. Creative, weird and oddly inspiring, artists seem to be using the imagery and possibly more insightful meanings of the novel into many of their creations. From fashion school projects to couture shows in Paris, the fairytale adventures of this proper, English girl in a world full of chaos translates to a plethora of artistic mediums. </div><div><br /></div><div>Photographer Anne Leibowitz Shot and Alice in Wonderland shoot for Vogue that became an iconic favorite using couture designers as the supporting cast. </div><div><br /></div><div>Gwen Stafani was inspired by the over the top Alice theme on a past solo albulm. </div><div><br /></div><div>Designer Gareth Pugh recreated a modern, fairytale Queen in his white and black gown with modernized, geometric elements and pleats.</div><div><br /></div><div>The most exciting news for Alice fans is a recent collaboration between Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and Disney to recreate the film in a more engaging way. Tim comments, "The story is obviously a classic with iconic images and ideas and thoughts. But with all the movie versions, well, I've just never seen one that really had an impact on me. It's just always a series of weird events."</div><div><br /></div><div>Knowing Tim, audiences will get to dive deeper into the twisted minds of Alice's acquaintances and will discover a new, beautiful, darker side to the underlying stories that we may have missed before. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Jessica Ciarlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04449960471058603706noreply@blogger.com0
