BQ's Past Blog Re-posts for lazy days

I was going thru my French Magazine collection. My old website,logos and t-shirts came from many of these magazines. BTW these are rare. Most of the one you see up that are not being sold are from my personal collection. I'm really getting a little giddy over the launch of the new site. I can't wait!

GALADARLING

http://galadarling.comWelcome to a world of tattered silk, stained lace & decadently distressed velvet. A world where girls eyes are always fringed with magical false eyelashes, their hair is always elegantly tousled, & they wear elaborate headpieces while lounging around the house.

This is the world of Dawn Younger-Smith, owner of The Boudoir Queen, where disheveled opulence reigns. Citing the likes of Marchesa Louisa Casati, Kiki De Montparnasse & Erte as style icons & influences, when she isn’t busy designing stage costumes for celebrities — she’s currently creating outfits for The Veronicas tour — Dawn has been known to delight onlookers in a dress made from Aleister Crowley collage!

I pounced on her for 10 quick questions. I like to imagine her writing her answers while wearing an immense feathered headdress!

Who are you & and what do you do?

Dawn Younger-Smith: I am Dawn Younger-Smith, owner of the company Boudoir Queen. I am a designer, artist & collector of the rare & unusual.

Who & what are you currently inspired by? Dawn Younger-Smith: My assistant Shannon inspires me & I’m sort of into Bette Davis right now.

Who do you design for? Dawn Younger-Smith: Boudoir Queen designs stage clothing for many recording artists and actresses. Right now we are designing clothes for The Veronicas tour.

What is your current favorite outfit? Dawn Younger-Smith: My favorite outfit is our new Cherry Bomb ruby lined jackets. I wear them with everything and always faboo shoes. I’m also very much into my Piano Shawl dresses with our BQ silver metallic lace turbans.

What’s your ultimate style tip? Dawn Younger-Smith: In the famous words of Coco Chanel “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different”… So be different!

Where’s your favorite place to relax? Dawn Younger-Smith: I have a fabulous room in my house filled with all my 1920’s lingerie collection & my boudoir dolls. The room makes me feel relaxed. I also like to lounge at The Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles for days on end. I love the vibe.

Who are your style icons? Dawn Younger-Smith: Marchesa Casati, Paul Poiret, Anita Pallenberg, Edie Sedgwick & Lou Doillon just to name a few.

What do you love to splurge on? Dawn Younger-Smith: Christian Louboutins & lots of beauty products. I was a celebrity make-up artist for many years & I am enjoying buying lots of Illamasqua. I also buy a godawful amount of vintage clothing & textiles. It’s my passion.

Where can we find your pieces? Dawn Younger-Smith: The Boudoir Queen

What’s your next big dream? Dawn Younger-Smith: Going on tour with my husband!

WWD-

Our hearts are swelling with love for Laura and Kate Mulleavy. Not only have they designed the most highly anticipated (for us anyway) collection with Target yet, the pair will be working with Colette to curate a retail space and gallery for the month of October. October? That's right, it will open during Paris Fashion Week.

The featured items will include the Rodarte fall collection, various objets d'art, specially created Rodarte stuffed and knitted animals, limited edition jewelry designed by their mother, pillow cases by Miranda July, glitter taxidermy by AnnaKim Violette, and a selection of their favorite movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Don't Look Now, Dawn of the Dead, Rosemary's Baby, and Black Sunday. No one constructs a fantasy world better than the Mulleavys, so if you have a chance to stop by, we suggest you do.

OCTOBER W

BOUDOIR QUEEN VACATION

I'm terribly sorry for the lack of blogging this week. I've been ultra busy and I am finally taking my much needed week off from Boudoir Queen. In two weeks we will be launching our new collection and I will have no time ---so it's now or never. I will be out of town and I am not taking my laptop ---no way!! Get ready for lot's and lot's of new Boudoir Queen divinely decadent designs for 2010

Cheers my dears!

One of My dearest Friends

Phillip Carreon was my first boss in 1989 when I worked as a make-up artist for Cassandre 2000/Sebastion Int. Up until I moved to Austin I frequented his fabulous salon Estilo. I try and stop in and say hi when I'm in Los Angeles. He gives the best haircuts. I modeled for him in the 90's. I'll never forget the time he dyed my hair black and gave me the shortest asymmetrical haircut evah! I should post some photos. He looks fabulous and hasn't changed one bit over the years.
