You're invited...

 

In case you wondered what we've been up to lately, we've been to Hollywood! St. Regis Bora Bora hosted an event for us to let us showcase the new collection of wedding dresses and the work we do together. St. Regis Bora Bora is offering their guests to rent a Cecilie Melli dress for their wedding on site. We had a lot of fancy people coming out to see our work and here are some of them. Thank you Tracey for making his happen!!

Love to stay here. A new colection means we have to go back for a new shoot. Can't wait!

 

Brought two of my kids with me to LA to let them see mama work and hang out

 

Forgot my high heels at home and felt like the smallest person there. See how tall I make my dresses. It's for the tall Norwegian women, which I had never been part of that crowd...

 

Some of the celebs that came out

 

Maria Menonuos is a fan of Cecilie Melli, Cecilie Melli used to be a fan of Jason Priestley and was still star struck by the teen heartthrob, and the 'Boyz n the Hood' star Regina King

 

Look who's talking...in flats...argh!!

 

And who's listening...possibilities of having a Cecilie Melli dress on the wife of Jason Priestley. We'll see ;) I should have known this when I watched 90201 in my teens (giggles)

 

A beautiful day at the SLS BEverly Hills terrace. Loved it!

 

Adopt a dog at the party :D Unusual for us Norwegians, totally proper for a LA event

Cecilie Melli ss2015 backstage beauties

 

Thursday aug 14 2014 was the night of my first runwayshow ever! My label is turning 10 years this august and I wanted to celebrate it hugely. My friend Amar Faiz directed the whole thing. He was in charge of everything! He even came up with the brilliant idea of hosting it in The Vigeland museum with a natural grass runway for the models. I was all: yesyesyes!!!

 

The Vigeland museum was a stunning backdrop in the backstage area where all the action were.

 

My name of the collection were  'a midsummer night's dream' and my thoughts went to erie fairies with a beauty that was mesmerizing and could suddenly turn dark and scary. My collection were filled with beautiful lace and chiffon dresses but this tme with a little edge to it.

 

Madeleine from Blast PR made the guestlist and seating happen

 

Hair and Makeup were sponsored by L'Oreal. Eirik Thorsen were chief of hair and Jeanette Gjerde Olsen of make up.

 

We even developed a look for manicure to get the complete Cecilie Melli spring 2015 look. Samples of my new jewelry line were in house just in time

 

For the make up I wanted to go a little untraditional opposed to just beautiful. No liner or mascara with a lot of highlights on eyelids and cheekbones, to get the fairy look. Peachy for fair skinned and violet for dark skinned.
