Baby Love Editorial Shot by Kelly Puleio

If you follow Evgenia Lingerie on social media, you'll likely know that I recently had a baby. Around the time I announced my pregnancy, I found out that my model, Deavon (who you'll know from the first and second Janus lookbooks, and the Floralia lookbook), was also pregnant and due just 10 days before I was! The opportunity couldn't be more perfect for a maternity editorial, and luckily, photog Kelly Puleio was down for another amazing collaboration.

I found a last-minute location at a neighbor's beautiful property here in Nicasio, and hair and makeup artist Sterling Andrews (from the Night Garden shoot) joined us again. We also were lucky enough to score some truly beautiful jewelry pieces from my friend Holly Bobisuthi - that starry crown is the stuff of magic.

My hope is that this little shoot will help to showcase the versatility of my pieces, that they work beautifully for a variety of body types and life stages. And if off-the-rack sizes don't work for you, remember that I do make custom-sized pieces. While I'm currently not sewing thanks to my new little one, I'll be resuming custom work sometime around the holidays.

I also hope you love these shots as much as I do!

Go Behind the Scenes of Floralia

Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of Evgenia's beautiful photo shoots? I always love how dramatic our final images are (just take a peek below), and it's always a treat to be reminded of just how much fun we have when photog Kelly Puleio picks up her camera.

These final images are a far cry from the behind-the-scenes shots I captured on my phone, a few of which are below. Who would have guessed model Emmalee was wearing galoshes the majority of the time? And that the weather was absolutely freezing, even in June? And that we were smack dab in the middle of tick season? And that designer John James spent hours putting together that gorgeous ribbon tree? In the final shots, Deavon and Emmalee made it look oh-so-easy, when the production was undeniably fun, but complicated.

Videographer Tim Prestoza of Low Tek Studios captured the video below, showing the true spirit of the Floralia shoot, my favorite with Kelly so far. Enjoy!

EVGENIA Spring/Summer 2016 Teaser Video by Tim Prestoza

I'm slowly releasing pieces from my upcoming Janus collection for Spring/Summer 2016 and I'm so excited to share this amazing teaser video by Tim Prestoza of Low Tek Studios which features model Deavon Coleman. Tim joined us once again for shoot day, capturing the Janus collection in all its glory. This new collection boasts an exquisite bridal color way which includes luxurious silk charmeuse pieces including brand new Short Gown, Bed Jacket and Thong styles and a limited-edition Ribbon Corset made with vintage organza. The Janus collection is named after the Roman god of beginnings and transitions, and the collection's inception coincides with my physical transition from San Francisco to pastoral West Marin. I hope you enjoy the video! To see more of the Janus collection, visit my site, and be sure to follow Evgenia on Instagram.
