I recently wrote about that I’m working on a new act
and that the costume will be made by “Le Colonel”.
So, it’s time to have a closer look on this wonderful label!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
may I have your attention please and present you
Le Colonel, d’Ordre Exquis!
Who is Le Colonel??
♥ “He’s wild about military embroidery, he’s mad about plaid and he loves lace.
And while the elegant and delicate creations that bear his name may be inspired by by gone days, they are never old fashioned.”
♥ Le Colonel is a young fashion and accessory label. Their specialty are hats, headbands and other jewellery for the head

♥ Recently they also started with costume making!
♥ The creative person behind this label is Julia Gonnet – a lovely and talented young woman.
♥ Le Colonel mixes the glamour of past eras with modern influences!
And that’s exactly what I like – Vintage with a twist!
How we met:
I wanted to start working on a new show that I had in mind for quite long,
it’s inspired by a very personal topic,
so I started to think about the costume etc.
Then, one day, Julia Gonnet from Le Colonel contacted me and offered me to work with her.
Normally I really enjoy making my costumes by my own,
but after having a look at her website I was thinking that it could be good working with her on this show,
and having this special costume realized by a professional.
So I told her about the idea for my new act, and she catches the image and spirit really fast.
And after seeing her first sketches of my costume, I was completely convinced and decided to work with her!

How is working with Le Colonel??
♥ Working on my costume with Julia Gonnet from Le Colonel is fantastic!
I’m really involved in the creative process.
She is listening to my ideas and is not too shy to present also her own ideas,
which makes working on the project a lot of fun and very efficient!
♥ Le Colonel attaches importance to details! An that’s so necessary for costume making!
♥ She always keeps you updated about the whole process with sketches and photos!
