Last night, Joy Teiken of Joynoëlle presented her 2013 collection in one of the most elegant local fashion showcases in recent memory. The event, titled Amusement, benefited The Makers Coalition, an organization dedicated to revitalizing the cut-and-sew fashion industry of Minnesota. The event was divided into three segments: Get Pretty (in which VIP ticket-holders were treated to hair and beauty makeovers, as well as tarot card and psychic readings), See Pretty (Joynoëlle’s runway presentation), and Be Pretty (a cocktail-fueled post-runway party).
The runway presentation featured both Joynoëlle’s Ready-to-Wear and Bridal Collections. Graceful models (seriously, Vision models must be the most poised women in all of the Twin Cities) navigated the twisting runway in cream, black and gunmetal gowns, sheaths and separates. Though Teiken uses a lot of fabric when creating her pieces, there was some noticeable restraint in her Ready-to-Wear, which featured several looks that highlighted the models’ enviably tiny waists. Puffed sleeves and thoughtfully-placed bows provided just the right touch of girlishness, and hand-painted spiders made several whimsical appearances. A pencil skirt of woven fabrics appeared almost plaid from a distance, and lace wide-legged tuxedo pants with black stripes were a major risk, but one that strangely paid off. Perhaps less risky, a lace pencil skirt with black banding at the hem and a black tuxedo stripe down the side featuring a small black bow at the hemline. (It immediately went on my wish list.) A pair of black sheer ruched bermuda shorts didn’t fare so well. Their inclusion was the most puzzling choice of both collections.
One of the things that sets Teiken apart from other local designers is her choice of fabrics. In addition to the more traditional silks and chiffons, Teiken incorporates fabrics that, from a distance, almost resemble shredded wheat or cheesecloth. It’s a choice that either works or doesn’t; there is no in-between. In this collection, the fabrics mostly worked in her favor, creating a sort of homespun Audrey Hepburn chic, but unfortunately, in some cases their usage was just too heavy. The best trend in her RTW collection was the showcasing of womens’ backs. Teiken doesn’t flaunt legs or cleavage, instead incorporating delicate sexiness in draped open backs that are far more alluring than any plunging gown or micro-mini could ever be.

First Bridal Fashion Show!
When I first heard of local bridal designer Joy Teiken, I was definitely intrigued by her story... Her very first design EVER was a beret constructed from vintage dresses. It was custom-made for her mother, who was dying of breast cancer in 1989. Just from reading Joy’s bio, it is obvious that she is an extraordinary woman. Before creating her signature line Joynoelle in 2003, Joy received her MA in Arts Education, taught and was a former Peace Corps volunteer (served 1993-1996 in Botswana). With such a diverse and interesting background, it is no surprise that her hand-made/hand-finished, Ready-to-Wear and Bridal Collections are as successful as they are. Joy has gained national and international attention with her work (um, she was just recently interviewed for O Magazine!!), which is why I was so excited to be invited to attend her exclusive-invite-only viewing of her 2012 collection a week ago. Inspired by the Caged Bird, on Monday November 14th the Grand Café was recreated to look like a turn-of-the-century parlor, with the interior stylings of Lime Canary Vintage and Flora Bella. The decor and mood were intimate and romantic-- fashioned perfectly with these amazing feathery, floral, vintage birdcage installations. The salon-style show was a 28-look journey from the caged bird (linear, crisscross cage-like fabric applications) to the free bird (hand-made feathers, whimsical and airy). Vision Model Management Group provided the gorgeous models; hair and makeup by Extrados. There were several gorgeous designs-- feminine both in shape and in fabric. I loved everything that was black, white and/or feathered. Creams, blacks, whites, chocolate browns, and wine reds were the obvious color focus of this collection-- very seasonal. Lots of great wedding gowns as well as bridesmaid choices! And of course, rehearsal dinner/ reception options for those who want a wardrobe change. Above are my two favorite looks from the evening, thanks to fashion blog Art of Wore photography. Love the feathery skirts in both garments and would LOVE to see that second dress as a full length gown. Flash Revolutions also had some great photos too. First Bridal Fashion Show was super fun! Stay tuned for an exclusive interview with the designer in a future post as well as photos from her adorable studio and shop. by Nkechi Njaka You can check out more wedding-related posts that I have written on Charcoal&Lace, a wedding and lifestyle blog that I co-author.
Minneapolis Fashion Designer Spotlight - Joynoelle
I had the privilege of meeting this talented designer almost 8 years ago. Her collections are full of beautifully crafted clothes that were made with happiness (seriously, Joynoelle is a ball of sunshine and she likes to work with "yummy" fabrics, feel the love)! In her words,
"How I work is very sculptural and my end goal is always to accent the female form...not change it."
Below is some of her work:
