DANIELLE LEE for Caitlin Power Collaboration

My custom collection of jewellery for Caitlin Power's F/W13 Runway show debuted last Friday at World Mastercard Fashion Week Canada.  The DANIELLE LEE for Caitlin Power collection included two designs of statement silver work, a gothic, grungy silver collar and a striking full finger ring. This capsule collection was a reflection of the designers inspiration of gothic architecture and a futuristic steampunk aesthetic which I used to create jewellery that looked like an extension of the body. Above are a few of my favourite pictures of the pieces on the runway, and below is a picture I took at the end of the day that gives a sneak peek at my next metal work project!

All of the jewellery in the above photo was made by me :)

Overall, the project was a really great time and the girls of Caitlin Power are lovely and so fun to work with! Expect more pictures of the pieces soon!

A Power-ful Collaboration

In addition to all the mayhem surrounding the release of my S/S13 Collection, I'm excited to announce to this spring I'll also be releasing a custom collaboration with the very talented Caitlin Power! A small selection of specially designed pieces will be shown at the upcoming Toronto Fashion Week on the runway with her F/W13 collection! I'm extremely excited about this project and though I can't leak any sneak peeks, heres a view of my desk at the moment to give you a sense of the chaos

Spring Musings

Its tough work running my one man army! In the past few months Dolorous has gown faster and in more ways than I ever could have imagined. With so many exciting things on the horizon I thought it was due time to catch up! After an extremely hectic holiday season, including a one of a kind sale exclusive with Lavish and Squalor and getting an exciting collaboration underway, it was time to start on the spring summer collection! Using a variety of soft pastels and some great new materials the collection shows a softer, more feminine side of Dolorous. Bright and girlie was the concept for the collection, as well as for the lookbook shoot! Below are a few of the fun and feminine props we had floating around the shoot. Expect the S/S13 Lookbook soon!!!
