TAL SHEYN SIGNATURE DESIGNS IS HAVING A SAMPLE SALE!!!
Tuesday, June 5th, 2012How I Met Alexis Bellino
Saturday, March 3rd, 2012After opening up my own studio and launching Tal Sheyn Signature Designs I started seeing a lot of growth in my business. Since my area of expertise is high-end couture I sell to many high-end boutiques in the United States. Coincidentally, one of those high-end boutiques just happens to be in Orange County, California. Alexis Bellino from The Real Housewives of Orange County had been one of the boutiques’ loyal customers for some time and had purchased one of my tunic designs from there for the Season 6 Finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County.
One evening after a very long day I opened up my email and my inbox was flooded with flattering comments and questions about one of my tunic designs and its availability. I was thrilled to have such interest, but how did so many people find out about my designs over night? I could not figure it out until I turned on the television. When I saw Alexis Bellino wearing my tunic on live television the pieces of the puzzle began fitting together.
Alexis was kind enough to mention the tunic in her blog and wrote about how she loved it and my other designs. She also tweeted me expressing interest in meeting in person. After responding to her kind words, Alexis and her husband Jim came down to my studio so we could meet in person. After the initial meeting Alexis became one of my private clients for many months. A short while after that Alexis and I decided it would be a good idea to collaborate together and design a line together for 2011 and for the 7th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County. The 2011 Collection was so successful and received so much praise that we decided to release another collection for 2012 and for season 7. Ever since then, it’s been history. I’m very happy she wore my tunic and I think it just goes to show that anything can happen!
Until next time…
Much Love,
Tal Sheyn

In the beginning…
Saturday, March 3rd, 2012Hi!
Thank you for taking the time to look through my website. I hope you like what you see!
I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I have been in the fashion industry for a pretty long time even though I was not always a fashion designer. Believe it or not, when I first began my journey into the crazy world of fashion I was a makeup artist. I had been lucky enough to get the opportunity to travel abroad and work in Europe for Fashion TV Paris and MTV London. During my stay in Europe I was privileged enough to work with many celebrities and constantly attend red carpet events. By this time I had already studied fashion design, but I was not utilizing my education to further my career yet.
After arriving in the United States ten years ago things began to change. I had met the right people and before I knew it I was a makeup artist for L’Oreal and found myself surrounded by an A-List crowd. I also began affiliating myself more with people within the fashion industry even though I wasn’t designing yet. After a few years in Los Angeles I started to design extremely high-end customized clothes and costumes for dancers.
Around this time I was commissioned to be a makeup artist at a huge fashion show in Woodley Park. I got very lucky and was offered the opportunity of a lifetime – to design, launch, and feature my own line for a crowd of over 60,000 people! I designed a swimwear and cover-up collection and all of the sudden clients began appearing out of nowhere. More and more people began placing orders and before I knew it, I was designing gowns and elegant dresses for red carpet events.
To meet the demand and get things off the ground I decided to start my business using whatever resources I had. I purchased two sewing machines, hired a professional seamstress, and set up a small studio in my home. It was very tough, but it was also very exciting! I remember when I went shopping for fabrics for the first gown I was designing. The different textures and colors of the fabrics inspired me and my imagination went wild. I started designing garments in my head specifically for those fabrics. It was so exciting and electrifying.
By chance, a well-connected PR sought me out and got me access to the Emmy’s and other red carpet events in addition to recommending prestigious clients to me. From that moment on things began happening so fast, it was almost a blur. I was featured in Los Angeles Fashion Week and dressed celebrities for the Emmy’s and Grammy’s and I finally opened my own studio. I began gaining exposure with different magazines and as my business grew, my clientele grew, and new opportunities were springing up everywhere.
So now here I am today a few years later with my clothes featured on The Real Housewives of Orange County and in high-end boutiques around the world. I love what I do and I do it with a lot of passion. I think my roots in makeup artistry helped me achieve my dream of designing couture to get to where I am today. It’s been a crazy ride; I’m excited to see what the rest of this journey will reveal!
I hope all of you come along.
Love,
Tal Sheyn xoxo
