Photobucket

This is part of Seth Aaron's hidden collection made for Season 7 of Project Runway.
Here's more of the edgy design you all have come to expect from Seth. If you watched the Project Runway Show, you may recall he created two entire collections for Season 7 finale. Tim Gunn asked him to create more, after my first collection was designed. The hidden collection not shown was property of the show, until now. They sold off individual pieces through the Seen On Auction site. This is a gem of a dress from that hidden collection! Directly from Project Runway to Seen On to the boutique. It's metallic silk with black trim, asymmetrical zipper front, peplum detailing in the front and back.
Size 0-2 made for the model.
Metallic silk with black cotton trim.
Size 0-2
$425

I’m a bit partial, but I have the most darling customers in the world.

Gosh, I love it when my friends and customers send me their pics of themselves wearing apparel or jewelry from my boutique. These images, to me, are reminiscent of a glossy Ralph Lauren glossy photo spread, only better. The girls came in and purchased lots that day, including these Suzabelle coats. The photos were taken on their working horse ranch, just outside of Portland.

Hmm, when I stop for a moment and think about all the designers that are featured in my teeny, tiny boutique, I pause on Suzabelle, who season after season, consistently comes out with the most gorgeous, fashion-forward coats, jackets, dresses, tops and skirts. She just focuses on the details that make the design special. And her designs are always unique and her seams are flawless.

Guess, it's no wonder, the designer and my friend, Suzie Jarberg was aptly named the "Seattle Coat Queen." The details on her coats...all the pieces really...are so sweet. Check out the rest of the Suzabelle collection at Anne Bocci Boutique.
Plus I love to offer the best pricing around. Pictured above is the putty-hued Belleterre cropped jacket and the black and white Greenstreet wool coat. In my opinion, the Greenstreet coat by Suzabelle featured above is designed as well as a Ralph Lauren coat costing thousands, yet better. It was $298 and now just $190 at my boutique.
And if you live in Portland, Oregon, stop by my tiny store in Multnomah Village.
The Village is packed full of stores, boutiques, coffee shops and lots of indie, family-run business without a hint of the corporate mall stores. Plus, we have no sales tax, which makes shopping that much more fun!

Having Project Runway withdrawals? Now you can own a piece of history and look pretty darn mod doing it! I adore this mod sweater made of mohair and genuine patent leather. These actual runway ensembles from the New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Show are available at my boutique. Judge Michael Kors stated that he was turned on by the pops of shine in Mila's collection - like on this cropped mixed media ensemble. Head to Anne Bocci Boutique for these authentic runway ensembles.

You will receive this ensemble, the actual design of Mohair and patent leather sweater, leggings, gloves and even rings by Mila Hermanovski from Bryant Park Runway Show. http://annebocci.com

Even at the finale party Project Runway winner, Seth Aaron Henderson and Tina, his wife were singing the praises of Mila's collection. They both loved it. There is a similar sense of chicness and in-your-face style to both collections. But why compare them? Because despite how it shook out in the judging, Tom and Lorenzo, bloggers for Project Runway feel that Mila was a very close second to Seth Aaron Henderson's win. Both collections were very strong and very cohesive.

The details on this black and white coat were provided to me by the designer, Mila Hermanovski, herself. Just a note: the final three designers, Seth Aaron, Mila and Emilio were each allowed $9,000 for their ten looks, so this is a quality piece made from nice materials. Mila says, "This gorgeous wool jacket can fit anyone from a 2-6. It comes in a bit at the hip/hem. The coat is VERY finished...100% wool with REAL patent leather trim/cuffs, fully lined, working pockets. Hidden jumbo snap closure."

Judge Michael Kors commented that Mila "killed the girl dancing the Frug in a cage and made her oh-so-modern and desirable." Now you can capture the best of the 60s with this sassy striped ensemble from Mila's collection.

* Color: Black and White
* Fit: Slim.
* Note: These are the actual, authentic, and one-of-a-kind pieces directly from the Project Runway Season 7 designers and worn on the runway at Bryant Park. Due to the nature of the challenge, an item may be unfinished and is sold "as is." All items are final sale.
* Each designer was allotted $9000 to develop their looks, and each designer put his/her heart and soul into making each pieces. Here's an opportunity to own a piece of Project Runway history.

Here's your chance to own THIS actual runway ensemble. One of Mila Hermanovski's collection from the Byrant Park/ NY Mercedes-Benz Fashion show.

http://annebocci.com has also showcased the winner, Seth Aaron Henderson since the day she opened, 3 years ago. Plus, she's known for stunning jewelry, Suzabelle, and supporting indie artists.

Seth Aaron Henderson wins Project Runway, and he's a designer in my tiny boutique

Seth Aaron Henderson wins Project Runway!
Oh happy day. Boy, even after beer after beer, that boy never let on that he was the winner!!!
Woot! Seth Aaron Henderson has been a designer in my teeny, tiny boutique since the day I opened my doors. He's a friend, a sweetheart, and a meticulous designer.


Tim Gunn says, "Talk about making clothes that are unbelievably polished." Michael Kors talking about Seth Aaron Henderson.

Seth Aaron waltzed out, thanked his family, and announced his collection was an homage to 1940s German and Russian military looks. What he designed and sent down the runway was bold and strong: exaggerated plaids, bold yellow and patent leather, confidently bested by houndstooth, and plaids tucked, folded, quilted, layered and belted into a cohesive collection of statement dresses, coats, and skinny pants. New wave Gwen Stephani with a touch of Marc Jacobs. I'm such a lucky girl to sell his line in my tiny boutique in a classic Norman Rockwell neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.
Woot. Go Seth. Portland loves you. Maybe if we just follow our dreams and ignore the the naysayers...

About this time of every year, the anticipation builds around my teeny, tiny boutique as we await our Fall shipment of the Suzabelle collection. Suzanne Jaberg, the brains behind the Suzabelle name, has just released her Autumn/Winter 2010 Lookbook. Suzabelle’s richly detailed designs are my best-selling line and it's no secret she's reached almost a cult following. Her designs are on the floors of only independent boutiques across the states, yet with her signing with her new rep. Bernadette Mopera, L.A., Suzabelle may be more of a household name. These initial photos taken by Seattle's Cindy Apple simply tease us, as I wait for my UPS driver to deliver the goods. Visit Anne Bocci Boutique for more information.
