Welcome to my Life, "Please Come In"

Little fashionable me! As you can see I started to become aware of fashion at a very early age. I wish I had that little hat and coat today.



I love designing vintage inspired clothing. My signature line, "Vintage By Bonni Lanese" was born. I've always loved old movies, the glamour the wonderful fashions, hairstyles and also the home furnishings of the times. Sometimes I'm so engrossed in looking at all the backround etc. I forget to listen to the dialog of the movie.



Everyday I create something new. Sometimes it's just in my mind but will come to life eventually, and thank you for visiting me.

I love this red fitted jacket




Wonderful spring weight wool, in a fabulous RED. Looks marvelous on Kay, YIPPEE.
I've started working on my next project for Kay, a beautiful knit in black and white speckle. It will be a classic dress with a little vintage flair. I'll have photos soon.

It isn't enough to have talent!




You also have to have a talent for having talent. How do we know? Is it measured by how much we have sold or by how much money is in the bank or by how much enthusiasm people have when commenting on our work? Of course that always helps. I think talent is measured by the passion you go forth with ones creations. The pleasure it gives you when a project is complete. YIPPEE, it's done and my client loves it! That's talent.
Enjoy my newest crushed velvet 1920's style opera coat, very yummy.
