We always find the process of design very interesting, therefore we wanted to share our inspiration for the Spring/Summer 2009 Omelle launch collection. Cherise & I are constantly collecting inspiration from all sorts of sources. We have piles of tear sheets, cupboards of material swatches and iphoto libraries overflowing with beautiful images and color palettes. We look at fashion, read about design, absorb ourselves in textiles, and look at elements outside of footwear such as graphic design and furniture. As the Omelle collection is getting ready to launch, here is a little insight as to how we organize the first steps of establishing direction before we begin our initial thumbnails and sketches.

Cheers,

Nicole

After spending over two months in Italy over a six month period, Nicole & I have eaten in many trattorias. I must admit my personal favorite is Trattoria Sostanza. The unassuming establishment is filled with communal tables, which provokes chatting with people from all over the world. Besides the fact that I love socializing with everyone at the table, my favorite dish on the menu is petti di pollo al burro, chicken breast poached in brown butter, deliziosi!

Buon appetito!
