While my personal designs have been few and far between, I was pumped to be asked by Jennafer Grace to use a piece for a photo shoot she arranged with Emily Soto and Jaclyn Poole! An equestrian influence at The Rockin L Ranch in Dehesa Valley was the perfect idea to capture so much beauty in the pieces used, the model, and of course, the horse itself. Special thanks to Amber Shamshoian who did hair and makeup, and Joy Conca and Carrie Ludekes who arranged the shoot. These images will be published in FIORI Magazine out of Indonesia. What a wonderful way to share our inspiration around the world! To see all the pictures from the shoot, check out our photo gallery!
Jessica Delee of Rose Rags was asked to help style September's issue of Pacific Magazine. Model, Adrienne Janic (as seen on TLC's Overhaulin') couldn't have fit the scenes any better. On the cover she is wearing a Bcat Threads scarf, which you can also check out inside. See pages 48+ for more on this shoot. Thank you Jessica Delee and Cecilia Boutique for using a Bcat Threads piece :)
We are proud to announce we have added new designer, Jessica Delee of Rose Rags to our website. She is a local San Diego designer who has been working hard to get her pieces out for us to finally see. Check out her designs for yourself and get yours today :)
Scarves are no longer just a neck warmer, they are a fashion staple. Lighter fabrics and colors offer a look perfect for the spring and summer months. The infinity scarves are the latest in the scarf trend. Check this one out, available right here! It is a luxurious fabric with a Missoni like look. Throw it on with a t-shirt and jeans to make you look effortlessly fashionable, or mix it with a dress for that special added touch of completion. You really can't go wrong.

There really is no way of knowing just how great one of my designs can be without putting it on a model. Its the most exciting time in fashion, for myself, where I dress a model in Bcat Threads and see if she can make it transform. My creative mind sometimes get roadblocks filled with discouragement, where I reluctently follow through with what I have started, feeling like I may be disappointed in the end. But, then the end comes and I take the test. I take my design to a photo shoot.
It has been a while since I got involved in a shoot where I also had a creative voice in the outcome. I worked with a wonderful group of artistic women a couple weeks ago to do just that. Ariana Drehsler, a San Diego photographer, Megan McDaniel, makeup artist, Natalie Nutman, model, stylist/designer Jennafer Grace and myself made things happen. We started with a sexy, dark, and dramatic shoot at Vin De Syrah, followed by a springy, happy, whimsical shoot at a beautiful Victorian home later in the day.
When I saw the pieces on Natalie, I couldn't have been more happy with the way she made everything look. I cannot wait to get all the pictures so I can share them all with you. Stay tuned, they shall be coming soon!!
A while back, I met a photographer, Jonah Gilmore for Rocket Science Photography, at a fashion show I was attending. A quick introduction, a handshake, and a few emails later we were soon collabortaing on a project he had taken on. He asked to use some of my designs, along with Jennafer Grace to use in a Spring photoshoot for Chic Magazine. Of course I was up for it and couldn't have been happier with the results. Here are a couple pages from the magazine...

Lovey has added new beautiful bridal pieces to Bcat Threads. If you are inspired by whites and ivory, or looking for something to add to the vision of your wedding day, take a peak at these new pieces. They are gorgeous. She has everything from wedding gowns, to mini dresses, birdcage veils, to tulle hair pieces. Even if you aren't interested in a new piece, the pictures are wonderful to look at. The designer has captured true beauty both within the bride and in fashion throughout.
I was recently approached by another San Diego fashion designer, Barrie for Fables by Barrie, who wanted to purchase my Metal Lace High Waisted Skirt to wear to her 2011 Swimwear launch fashion show. When she inquired about the skirt, I was completely honored, for I had met her at a fashion show in the past and have always been impressed with her drive and success in the fashion industry in San Diego. She sent me a picture after the event to show me her complete outfit and I couldn't have been more impressed with how she styled everything.
Thanks for the local support, Barrie!

A little while back, my friend and fellow designer, Jennafer Grace, asked if she could use a few of my pieces in a magazine spread that she was shooting with photographer Emily James. She said they were doing a fox-hunting theme and that a couple of my pieces may be a good fit for the project. They were working with Joie magazine (starting on page 28) to have the spread published online. When Jennafer first showed me the pictures, I was completely taken back. The models looked absolutely gorgeous, the photos were beautifully taken, and the styling was amazing. I am always completely impressed with Jennafer's eye for styling. In this shoot, she used my Sage Pencil Skirt, along with some of her designs, and mixed them with a ton of vintage pieces, including furs, hats, and more. Well done to Jennafer Grace and her team for this project. Click on the pics from the shoot below to take you to the magazine to see the complete spread.
If you remember, a while back I talked about a photographer that shot some designs from my fall collection, See "Damian Nuñez Villaseñor and Jennafer Grace Work With Brooke Catherine". He has released some of the other photos for all of our enjoyment. Take a look and get inspired for the fall season...and click on the pictures to take you to our store to purchase your own look.
I would also like to credit model, Stephanie Sandoval and super stylist, Jennafer Grace for making these photos look effortless.
