About me
Hi all~

Well, I'm still horribly behind in my friend requests but I'm slowly getting to everyone. My apologies - it's gonna continue to be busy with the holidays coming up, but bear with me!
Thanks for understanding!
xoxo


TFP Update:

Sorry, no more TFP until further notice.....seriously..... unless I contact you or you have something coming up for publication. I have TFP shoots already in the works, plus client deadlines, so I need to take care of those prior commitments first. Plus, the holidays have already started for me, so it'll be January before I can start thinking about TFP again.

Thank you for understanding.

I'm happy to take commissions, tho - it's how I pay the bills - so please feel free to talk to me about designing something amazing for you. I love collaborating with other artists. As for wardrobe rentals, I do have many items in my own personal collection available and rates are reasonable. A security deposit is required for anything that must leave my studio without me - whether it's a rental or TFP. Please contact me for details. : )


About me:
I've been designing and creating alternative and high fashion clothing for over 20 years. With a background in Painting and illustration and a Fine Arts degree from Parson's School of Design in NYC, I approach fashion from a more artistic angle and prefer to work one-on-one with clients, photographers, and models looking for unique, high-end adornment. I'm eclectic in my skills and tastes, so I've become well versed in just about anything from leather to PVC to fabric, and from Victorianana to fantasy to fetish. The main thread that runs through my design style is sensual empowerment - and since it's such a broad concept, I've broadened my skillset and personal creative desires to bring that to life in many different ways. I also design small touches, like jewelry and accessories.

Lately I've been collaborating with WinterWolf Studios and other brilliant photographers to create stunning imagery with my timeless couture pieces. I can be contacted here on MM, through my website: http://www.kvodesign.com, through my Etsy Store: http://www.kvodesign.etsy.com or through my MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/confessionny.

I also have an Etsy store and a website where I have a collection of accessories, including my lace collar, available for purchase:

Thanks for your support!

Friends are a beautiful thing, but please take a moment to leave a tag or a comment with your request. I'm always happy to check out your page and comment back! Please don't tag me to thank me for commenting - I do it because I want to =] and I'll probably delete thank you tags anyway.

I'm really glad you like the pic! To answer your question about the tree, i actually cilmbed up in my boots. It wasn't as hard as I thought. Those boots are pretty sturdy. Brian had to help me down, though. Breaking my ankle wouldn't be a good thing. lol
