A Premiere Couture Video Presentation

I'm playing around with making videos for us and here's my first attempt. This photo shoot took place at the Memorial Union with Front Room lending their talents. Rejuvenation Spa graciously provided hair and make-up. The beautiful guitar music is by my nephew, David Flood.

Meet Madelaine, Lucy and Hannah

We received a trio of chic gowns today from two of our favorite designers - Janet Nelson Kumar's "Madelaine" and Caroline DeVillo's "Lucy" and "Hannah."

"Madelaine" is pure glamour and her fit is indescribably scrumptious and utterly refined.

"Lucy" is a fresh approach to silk charmeuse which is generally reserved for the less reserved, but she's cut to flatter anyone.

"Hannah" is one of those sweet surprises - a modest - but not too modest - neckline paired with an awesomely low - but still tasteful - back. You'll have to come in to see for yourself!

Exciting New Arrivals from Caroline DeVillo and Janet Nelson Kumar

Open House at Non-Toxic

Some of you may recall that earlier this year Laura and I committed to financially supporting programs and activities designed for at-risk teenage girls at Non-Toxic Teen Center in Edgerton, Wisconsin. You may have even noticed an article about Non-Toxic in the Janesville Gazette or the Edgerton Reporter. This Saturday, April 19, from 3pm until 6pm they are hosting an open house in celebration of their 15th anniversary - in teen center years that has to be a least 100! If you are in the area, I encourage you to go and check this truly special place out. Laura and I picked up treats from Trader Joe's for you to enjoy while taking in all that the teen center has to offer.

More from Vera Wang

As promised, here are additional styles from Vera Wang's very fashionable new collection for 2008. They aren't up on her website yet so this is your first peak!

"Morgan" by Amy Kuschel

A new addition to our permanent collection just arrived from Amy Kuschel. "Morgan" is, in Amy's words, poised, polished and sophisticated. We totally agree. And since that describes the Premiere Couture bride, we know that you will love this dress. The silk satin is buttery soft and the silhouette is truly striking.

We show "Morgan" here on another new addition at Premiere Couture, Kristen. Thanks for being such a good sport on your first day at work!

New Vera Wang Arrivals

I don't know about you, but I am impatient to see some green out there! Since that seems a little slow in coming, I thought it a good time to focus on what's fresh inside and here at Premiere Couture that is definitely Vera Wang. Laura and I are finding relief from winter's end doldrums with her fashiony cocktail dresses and her sophisticated formals. I've focused mostly on the cocktail dresses in this post, but look for more floor length designs in the next couple of days. So until all of April's showers finally bring those May flowers, come and check out the fresh blooms here!
