Jennit in June

I'm happy to announce that Hourglass Heaven is in the June issue of Tatler in the "Hot Couture" section & will be featured in Condé Nast Traveller UK's Luxury Gift Guide in June as well.

This month's issue will feature a picture @jennita18. Like many places in the world right now, most businesses are closed. Photo-shoots often involve a lot of close contact, just like Film/TV sets. The make-up artist & hair stylist get quite close to the people they working with, you often have someone helping out with clothing & accessories making sure everything looks right (the designer, the photographer, wardrobe), and photo-shoots are often indoors. With the current state of emergency here in BC, none of these things are happening.

So I struggled to find photos in time for print! I was glad I had a Plan C, a backup plan for my backup plan.

Jennit was at the model tryouts for Startup Fashion Week Toronto last fall. She looked great in the sample! Sadly, it was the XS and all the samples for the mini-collection were bigger. I remembered the photos, so I sent her a DM on Instagram to ask if I could have permission to use them for the magazines. Happily, she agreed.

She says, "I'm an elementary school teacher, model and social activist, I was doing those activities at the same time in Colombia the country where I am from, but since a year and few months ago I moved to Canada."

"I've [been] modeling in Toronto which has been an amazing and wonderful experience because I've had the opportunity to participate in some fashion shows and I've met a lot of kind and beautiful people such as make up artist, designers, models, photographers. They are always giving the best to show to the audience working as a team and I feel so proud and honored to be part of this.

Covid-19 has been really hard for everybody. I really miss hugging my parents, my brother, visiting my friends, going to the movies, meeting with people, being on the fashion shows among other things. But may those hard times be and opportunity to create a better version of ourselves, learn something new and of course and value more our families.

Special thanks to Hourglass Heaven I completely love this beautiful dress which fits me so well, all the designs are amazing.

Stay safe"

I think Covid-19 has been really hard for everybody. And I know I miss hugging too!

Thanks to Jennit for modeling and for sharing her thoughts during these challenging times.

Jennit is wearing the Red & Black Sheath dress from the Dark Fire Collection. This dress can be made to order for $550 CAD.

The dresses are manufactured locally in Metro Vancouver. Manufacturers are essential services, as I mentioned in a previous post, we were actually surveyed early on about capabilities to help with producing masks and gowns for healthcare workers.

Hourglass Heaven is one of the many companies who volunteered to help out with the BCAG Local Covid Response, in whatever way we can.
