Vanilla Label summer 2011

After two years of knowing Vania, I'm so happy that I got to shoot her latest Vanilla Label collection again! Old set can be found here and here. Same designer and same makeup artist, Maui Manalo! I love both of these girls so much! And thanks to Vania, I met Maui! She's the reason why all my recent photos are so pretty! One of my fave MUAs ever! Vanilla Label is her bridge line.

A lot of people always ask me about Vanilla Label and what the differnce was between that and my namesake brand: Vania Romoff. I need to clarify this once and for all:

For those of you who dont know..Vania Romoff is a designer RTW and made to order line. While
Vanilla Label is my bridge line.

What is a bridge line? 
A bridge line refers to a pricing and styling category of misses apparel. Typically, bridge designers are one notch under designer lines. Bridge lines have more unique styling than contemporary misses but are -usually- not as pricey as designer lines. The hierarchy with regard to styling, price and exclusivity from highest to lowest is:
  • Haute Couture
  • Designer RTW (Vania Romoff)
  • Bridge    (Vanilla Label)
  • Contemporary

    An example of a bridge line is : Marc by Marc Jacobs   for Marc Jacobs
                                                             RED Valentino for Valentino
                                                             Armani Jeans for Armani



    Got that from Vania :)
