After Laura passed, I had the task of going through all of her belongings, some of which included a few giant boxes of unfinished garments. A fellow designer and friend of Laura's, Kambriel had been in touch with me, and offered to take the items, and complete them. Now, they are all done and available for sale. This is from Kambriel:
Happy Friday the 13th to you all!
After a year and a half, all of Laura's unfinished designs are finally completed and many have now been made available! After the fashion show we did in tribute for her earlier this year in New Orleans, several of these outfits were photographed in the UK for an upcoming memorial feature in Gothic Beauty magazine ~ a publication in which Laura had wanted to showcase her work. Now that these other important parts of the memorial have been completed, the final step is to offer these last remaining designs of Laura's Pale Court new homes so that her work and vision can be enjoyed by as many people as possible ~ some of whom may have ordered from "The Pale Court" in the past and well know and love her work, and others who may have never had the chance to do so before her untimely passing. I sincerely hope you will enjoy looking through these unique offerings and be sure to check out the upcoming issue of Gothic Beauty for the photographic memorial as well!
With some of the items finished, Kambriel also displayed the items at one of the fashion shows at the Convergence XII gothic meet-up festival. Click the photo below to see more photos from this event.
Kambriel's photo tribute to Laura is in issue #22 of Gothic Beauty. The photos are quite wonderful. Click here to see a list of places you can purchase a copy of the magazine. If they become unavailable through Gothic Beauty, a few copies are available from my web store, Bottle Imp Productions.
Laura and I had plans to work together, mixing her art with my music. Being unable to do that, I have used some of her existing photography for the CD cover for my latest album. A chunk of the music was written for and inspired by Laura. I am working on music totally dedicated to Laura that will eventually see the light of day. To see more and hear, click the cover below.
My Grandmother dedicated one of her beautiful gardens to Laura. The first picture has Laura's puppy, Louis, standing in front of the garden. You may click the photos to see a larger version.
