Hello everyone!

Many plans for 2018! Let me first add some links:

Homepage:
www.somniaromantica.com
Personal homepage:
www.marjoleinturin.com

Etsy shop:
www.somniaromantica.etsy.com

On my homepages you can find links to all other social media!

I have been a bit less active with posting on Deviantart as it had so many bugs for some time that it took out all fun. But, I will get over it and post on a regular base again.

On a personal level a lot changed, I moved to a new apartment with a bigger space for all my creative work, it is awesome! 

From this March on our life as a couple (for 14 years) will be expanded with a little kid :o :)

This will not at all mean that I will give up on my creative endeavours :) Even more, I am going to pick up my illustration skills aside new plans for my fashion designs. This under the name Marjolein Turin Illustrations or short Turin Illustrations, so if you're curious about that, you can keep an eye on my personal website. I will also put up a link if I decide to start a deviantart account for it!

For Somnia Romantica I have new collection plans!
2 collections a year. 
The jan-may collections will be much around bridal fashion and spring/summer clothes.
The jul-nov collections will be for autumn, halloween and christmas.
June and December will be for making all of one of a kind pieces made from what I have left in my closets, to make room for the new season.

Each collection will consist for about 50% of accessories and for 50% of dresses from little black dresses to cocktail, formal and bridal. All of that of course with a lot of nostalgic feel and (dark) romantic drama :)

Due to the upcoming new family member the first collection will be a bit smaller, but I will do everything to make a beautiful collection of it!

I will still be unavailable for custom orders in 2018. I simply can't fit this into the agenda and there are way to many requests to ever choose what I would make and what not. Thank you so much for understanding!!

What I will do is make all accessories in a range of sizes. Generally a piece will be made in XS-XL (probably one of each as I am still a one woman fashion label), but some will be made in L-4X !

Colours will differ from season to season. I will reveal them in the moment itself as it always strongly depends on what I can find!

That is about all for now, thank you for reading (very curious if anyone made it to the end of this XD )

I wish everyone lovely holidays and a healthy, content and creative new year!

Often I thought I had to choose between the two. Or that I had to go for a model posing in front of a plain white/black background.
Over the years I realized that artsy photo shoots are way_too_much_fun. So, I decided to do the practical, clear photos at home, on a dress form and further only do fun and artsy photo shoots!
In this journal I will show a compilation of things I have made in the past few years, left dress form, right photo shoot!

In the future I'll keep on doing things this way: A clear dress form picture to show the item as it is and further I'm going to participate in artsy shoots, where there is room for the whole team for creative input ^^

I'm going to get married within 9 days, but after my honeymoon, I'll be 100 % creating and shooting again :-)
I will also show pictures of my wedding, as I'm making the dress myself ^^

Best to everyone!

Hello everyone :)

Over 3 months after my debute fashion show, I thought to share it a little here :) I did the show together with jewellery and accessories designer Elegant Curiosities, who works a lot with natural materials (all animal cruelty free and according to CITES, read more about it one her page...!!). It was a very intense thing to do, but I'm glad I did! For a new show I wish to take more time for each single piece, but well, for a debute I'm pretty satisfied. Nowadays I'm back to selling pieces and doing photoshoots again. When I have a new big project I'll keep you updated!!

Here is a youtube film of the show:
