Mastering The Art of American Motorcycles
In our behind the scenes tab, there are some candid photos of the outfit being made. This outfit on the cover of the calendar was challenging to make, for many reasons...but this is the final product and we are pretty proud of it. The model Farrah Abraham designed it and Crystal brought it to life. The name of the motorcycle Farrah is with is called "The Wolf" hence her in the super hero wolf outfit :) The outfit is made with Faux Fur. The entire calendar wardrobe was made or styled by Faire L'amour designers Crystal & Tamara. If you would like more information on how to purchase one please visit links below .

The Path Of Least Resistance...
The path of least resistance describes the physical or metaphorical pathway that provides the least resistance to forward motion by a given object or entity, among a set of alternative paths. The concept is often used to describe why an object or entity takes a given path.
At Faire L'amour we love be inspired from everything...when making clothes we may be inspired by something we see, feel, hear, smell, or touch...the only way to enjoy these things is to live in the now. That's why when we create we our in our best space, focused on the task and living in the now...Its quite meditative actually. When you live in the now the best things happen, because we are able to fully pay attention to our environment. So our pieces always reflect how we absorb our surroundings, by doing so we are living in the now. If we are stuck living in the past or future how can you create with love??? Living in the now is bliss.
So we are moving forward on our path of least resistance we hope you do the same :)

Confidence with Style
African and native inspired print blazer styled with black bodysuit.
This particular blazer is one of our specialty items from Bianca, meaning it is one of a kind, the style can be duplicated but not the print or hand stitched signature on the back. This picture is from our third shoot for the look book. It was a hectic day getting all the models through hair and makeup. Then when it was time to shoot we did it on the second floor where there is no central air conditioning. So thanks to all the models who tufted through a hot grueling day. All we had was a couple of fans. We have so many photos from this shoot that you will be able to find other angles of all items under our "look book" and or "store" page in the near future.
