San Francisco Fashion Week

SFFAMA is presenting San Francisco Fashion Week 2010 in hopes to re-invent SF’s fashion industry and to help support local designers! I am going to be participating in showcasing garments from my Spring 10 and Bird by Alyssa Nicole lines during SFFW. I hope that everyone who hasn’t yet gotten a chance to see my line go down the runway can come out and support! I am excited to put some more dresses down the runway :)

Spring on the Runway

Filed under: Fashion, Life of a Designer, Runway Shows, Special Events — Tags: , — admin @ 2:48 am

So I recently participated in Aspiring Couture’s Spring on the Runway event in Campbell, CA. I showcased my Spring 2010 Collection with jewelry donated by other participating jewelry designers for the event. The jewelry was a lovely added touch, it was nice to see my collection styled a bit differently. I had my stylist, Tavesiezs, style my collection with the jewelry for the show, so it was her first official job as my stylist! She did a great job picking out jewelry and matching it to each garment.
Check out Tavesiez style blog:  http://sociallyawkwardsara.blogspot.com/

Besides the unbearable heat, I think the show went great and I had a great time. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show!

Shop Social

Filed under: Fashion, Life of a Designer, Special Events, Trunk Shows — Tags: , — admin @ 10:19 pm

The Chictopia and DNA Shop Social was so much fun! The only disappointing thing was the fact that I designed an entirely new collection Bird by Alyssa Nicole Spring/Summer 2010 and no one really noticed it! Everyone was too distracted by the hot pink dresses from my Spring 2010 Collection! I guess its not a bad thing, it just means everyone really likes it :) so I guess I shouldn’t be complaining. I also designed a bunch of mini dresses for teddy bears which I like to call “Lil Bearz” and they were a hit at the Shop Social. The Lil bearz are just too cute, you can’t help but love them! Oh AND I experimented in designing hats for the first time and made my first cocktail hat. I wore the cocktail hat to shop social and everyone seemed to like it. I met a lot of really nice people at the event, met with a lot of fashion bloggers too. I recognized a few of them, but I thought it would be weird if I told them I recognized them and follow their blogs, I always get really weird reactions from bloggers when I tell them I like their blogs, and sometimes I wonder if I give the same weird reaction when people recognize me. Anywayz, at the Shop Social they set up my vendor spot right next to the cupcakes and I pretty much ate cupcakes all night, I have a sweet tooth…couldn’t help it :). My stylist/favorite Tavesiez (Sara) came to help out for the Shop Social, she wore my Spiderwebz dress from my Spring 2010 dress and looked supa cute in it! We had a lot of fun mingling with people and eating the cupcakes.


Thanks to everyone who came out to support me and my clothing line! You guyz are great!

I <3 NY (but not as much as SF)

Filed under: Fashion, Life of a Designer, Special Events — Tags: — admin @ 5:28 am

Hay everyone, I am in New York! It is amazing, my plane just landed a few hours ago. This is my first official business trip. On Saturday I will be presenting my new line at Chictopia10 Social Influence Summit which is a conference put on by Chictopia. I am so excited  and grateful that I got the opportunity to showcase at the conference. Last week I went to the Chictopia office and surprised Corinne and Helen with Cako cupcakes for giving me the opportunity to present at Chictopia10. I am pretty sure they loved the cupcakes, plus the Cako cupcakes did have a pretty big impact on inspiring my Spring 2010 collection (the lemon raspberry cupcake in particular).

I designed a cute new dress for the Chictopia10 conference, but I can’t decide if I want to wear it yet.

Here are some behind the scene photos from Spring Collection 2010!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Filed under: Fashion, Life of a Designer, Special Events, Trunk Shows, Uncategorized — Tags: — admin @ 7:38 am

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I’ve  been super busy with sales, work, and school so I haven’t had time to blog. The trunk show and DNA shop was a lot of fun! This month I decided to bring back my line of eco-friendly handbags for all the trunk shows I have been selling at and they have turned out to be a hit! I sold every single one! I took some pics at the trunk shows so I will upload them in this post. If you are looking for a custom Holiday Dress, be sure to put in your custom order with me before the Holidays! :) Also, I have a brown party dress listed on my etsy ( http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30949454 ) in a size 4 on SALE for $95.00, perfect for a winter ball or holiday party.

Bird.

Filed under: Fashion, Life of a Designer, Special Events, Uncategorized — admin @ 2:01 am

Hay guys, I think there is a little confusion going on.

My name is Alyssa. You can call me Alyssa, or Bird. Preferably one or the other, but never both at the same time. ‘Bird’ was a nickname given to me by my grandmother (but she would say it in spanish) and it kind of just stuck. I just think its kind of weird (but cute!!) that all these articles I have been featured in lately keep referring to be as “Alyssa Bird”. 

 

In other news,

Check out these links I’ve been featured in for the DNA event!

http://www.7×7.com/blogs/glamwatch/dna-come-together-space-gallery

 

The DNA event on Friday was a lot of fun, I was soo excited when I noticed they taped the Daily Candy article with my picture on it in the window! So when I was waiting for a cab after the show I would point it out to random strangers that walked by. “Hey look, I’m in the window ;-)

Hey, you can’t blame me, it’s not everyday your picture is in the window at a gallery!
