Feelings at the moment

(The same post in our own blog --> click here to see it!)

It's been quite a hustle with the grand opening of our online store and the hustle still continues, so I don't have that much time to write to guys. First of all, thanks for everyone who made this possible. Without the help of so many people we wouldn't be here today. We're super excited and happy about the positive feedback that we've gotten from the online store. And of course about the orders!! The first ones are already on their way to you! We're continuously developing our websites and social media channels so your comments are more than welcomed. 

Ps. Did you notice an article about JULJA on Tyyli.com today? ;) (Sorry, only in Finnish)

F/W13 Naming process

We've been working on this F/W 2013 collection for almost a year now but we haven't named the clothes yet. We've been calling them with all sorts of nicknames but the real naming process hasn't proceeded. It's about the time to do that, isn't it?

We decided to name our first collection after the models that we had in our very first own fashion show at Apollo nightclub on 18th May. Also part of the clothes are named after our JULJA Women campaign models. So, here they are. Pick your favorite!

Anthea blouse & Ilona cut-out pants

Julia blazer

Veera vest

Louisa dress

Olivia pants

Viivi top & Meri cut-out pants

Pauliina dress

Riikka blouse & Emilia pants

Annaliina dress

In addition to these clothes we also have the long sleeveless dress called Rosa, but unfortunately we don't have a picture of it right now.

JULJA @ Ruisrock

Last weekend we spent relaxing and enjoying good company, music and the sunny weather in Ruisrock, this great festival arranged in the beautiful Ruissalo in Turku. Whilst enjoying our time we also had a few projects with these JULJA Summer Shirts. 

As you may have noticed from our Instagram and Facebook posts, we had quite many JSS's popping up among the festival audience. We also dressed 8 gorgeous dancers in these shirts while they were teaching the happy festival people a dance for Saturday night's flashmob, arranged in co-operation with Olohuone. Unfortunately there were some information blocks and it didn't go as well as planned. They didn't get the music from the speakers so they had to dance without music and therefore without drawing as much attention and activating as much people as planned. These girls made absolutely fantastic job teaching the dance for the whole Saturday and showing up in these JSS's. We're happy anyway even though it was quite a pity that it didn't go through as well as it started. 

About these summer shirts. We have a bunch of new one's just for you, waiting to get published in the online store! ;) We're trying to be as quick as possible so that these JSS's can find new homes asap. So follow our blog as well as Instagram and Facebook pages to be among the first ones to see and order the new JSS's. 

Tired but happy

Today has been a long but very rewarding day for us. Our morning started with a short meeting at the bank, whereafter we've been running like maniacs from one place to another. The JULJA Summer Shirt project has been quit a hustle and it hasn't been the easiest, but once again it has taught us a lot.

However, despite all the small up and downhills that we've had, we're happy to tell you that the first set of JULJA Summer Shirts is ready!! These shirts are also available for men! But where can you buy these super awesome summer shirts? We'll give you more specific information on that in a minute so just wait for it! 

Here are a few pics from today.

Shopping for fabrics

It's been quite quiet here in our blog these last few weeks. The reason is simply the huge amount of work and the busy schedule that we have for this founding process. But now we promise to keep you updated so you can see what we are really doing at the moment.

I just came back home from our little shopping trip in a fabric store. We found some pretty nice fabrics for our newest project. But what is the project? That's something you're gonna have to wait for a few days. ;) But I'll promise that you'll like it! (Or at least I hope so!) Have a nice Saturday everyone and enjoy the sunshine!

JULJA inside the lens

Last Thursday we spent time filming a video for our F/W collection, with model Annaliina Heiskanen and photographer Joonas Vohlakari. Despite the weather forecasts prediction on bad weather for that day, we managed to catch the sun, at different occasions.

The video will premier at our first fashion show for the launching of JULJA's F/W 2013 collection at Apollo nightclub here in Turku 18.5.2013.  Here you can see some behind the scenes material from our video shootings.
