Petro Zillia dress featured in RETNA's Photoshoot

One of my all time favorite One-Of-A-Kind dresses was featured in a photoshoot for RETNA, one of my all time favorite graffiti and street artists -  How amazing is that?

The dress was bought at the incredibly fabulous Church Boutique, in West Hollywood.

 

The shoot was Photographed by Jos Fink for Retna, and styled by Dianne Garcia.

RETNA's amazing work has been featured on billboards around the Los Angeles area.

I'm tickled Pink ;)

What happens when creative friends get together......

Seriously, how lucky can one fashion girl get?
Three of my friends got together in NYC with a pile of my new Clothes and nOir Jewelry and look at what happened...

I mean... Atong that looks like a godest with her gorgeous features and immaculate beauty...

Brayan Calaca who is one of the most incredible hair and makeup artists I've ever met...

And last but certainly not least ORLANDO VIVAS!!! Can I just say, is the MOST incredible Art Director and photographer...

When I saw these pictures I got on a Fashion High for hours, that totally reminded me why I love fashion so much that I couldn't ever imagine doing anything else.

Now, honestly, when you look at these pictures - can you blame me?...

XOXO
Nony :)

The one and only Chelsea Handler, need I say more?

Well… Not only do I go to sleep (almost) every night watching Chelsea Lately, I very often bitch about what Chelsea Handler is wearing and wonder who styled her (and yes, I do tweet about it occasionally)…

I guess I have to eat my words now!
As it seems that not only her home page on her web site, but also her entire book tour is plastered with Chelsea wearing one of my favorite PETRO ZILLIA dresses which I designed some time ago.




I don’t know how she got it, or who dressed her but she looks absolutely FABULOUS! And I’m not just saying it cuz it’s my dress, I really mean it!

Of course looking at her site, I couldn't help reading the chapter her sister wrote, omg!!! HIL-E-RI-OUS I can’t wait to get my hands on her book and read it from cover to cover!

If you wanna give it a read, here is the link:

All I can say is, Chelsea, you go girl! I am your fan forever...

Fashion Time Travel

As I was looking through my favorite treasure, I thought that maybe this time - I should share...


Cuz don't you just think that these pieces could totally time travel?

Cuz don't you just wanna have them all in your closet RIGHT NOW?

I mean... maybe I would change the hair and makeup a bit, oh yeah, and definitely the shoes! and the attitude...

But this is all from Vogue Pattern Book June-July 1957...

Amazing, right? I always feel I'm Time traveling as I venture through my Vintage Fashion magazines...

I hope you likey too :)

XOXO

House of Petro Zillia: The Next Chapter!

Last July, I started working for not only one of the most amazingly talented people I've ever met, but one of the best human beings I have ever come across. We refer to Nony as our fearless leader, not only because her designs know no boundaries, but because she pushes US beyond what we thought were our own personal limitations. She encourages me to write, and our interns to dream big! She inspires the world to step out of it's blk and gray protective shell,and drape ourselves in a menagerie of bright colors,and to push the limits as to the weight in jewelry one should wear! lol " If you're not jingling, you're not wearin enough!"



Nony's studio is located right next door to the store, so I've had the benefit of seeing the process of all these amazing Petro Zillia originals come to life! She even let me help her with one, but it's not my gift. The pressure of working with silk...well, if a silk top were $1000, you're getting a deal! Cutting silk is no joke! I think I got 3 gray hairs that afternoon. lol Never again!




I've seen her, with a few buttons, a couple tassles, an a couple feet of thread, make the raddest dress! Ok,I'm exaggerating a smidge..but,she really is the Mcgyver of the fashion world, as far as I'm concerned! She'll find inspiration in a trim, button, or a swatch of fabric, an next thing I know, there's a new collection in the store by the end of the day! She's all around inspiring! I've learned, if you have a idea, run with it! The only failure, is NOT trying!




So, you may or may not know, we're closing our doors at the end of this month. BUT never fear, our website will still be goin strong an kickin fashion ass! When you need that something special, that's exceptionally RAD, you can find it at www.shoppetrozillia.com ! The rainbow medley of skills this woman has is redic! Clothes!Jewelry!Handbags! Not to mention, she makes a mean vanilla latte! So,this isn't goodbye, Petro Zillia will be front and center more than ever!!! Right now, we're so proud of the Petro Zillia collaboration with Forever 21! It's the talk of the town!People are excited to shop it,an you can pay no designer a greater compliment! With that said,if ever you look up into the sky and see a random rainbow, just know that means our fearless leader is at it again! Hurry up, an get to a computer! Click on "NEW" on our site, an prepare to have your mind blown!




These are just a few pics of her latest and my fave Petro originals! I can't wait to see what's comin up next! Stay tuned for more radness and good times!!! xx
