Cadena! The Ultimate Fashion Inspiration

This is my favorite silhouette. I love the lace skirt. I would have chosen a different color for the belt though.


On Friday, I picked up my Cadena Spring 2010 catalog. This is my all time favorite fashion magazine. The fashion and illustration are superb.




Love, love. This lace is simply beautiful.



This season they feature layers, fluid and jacquard fabrics in a variety of silhouettes. Every page has something to like. I went through the magazine about five times before deciding which fashion I would share for inspiration. It was HARD. So I ended up selecting about nineteen outfits as favorites only posting a few of them here. The magazine is worth buying. Trust me.




Fishman's (312-922-3396) has a few left for sale. The cost is $30.00. Asked for Patricia; she handles the sale of Cadena magazine. In the store, they also have the catalog with all the fabric featured in the magazine. You can special order it from Cadena.




Here we go!


The jacket on the left has so many great design elements. The belt, two length sleeves, rolled/scrolled collar. Love it.



Tones of grey. The cinched waist is also a feature in many of the details. The fabric is




Tier or layers is one of the featured elements of this season's Cadena magazine.



The piping is great in this jacket. I like the brown/beige hues of the outfit. One of my goals is to add piping to a garment.



I like the colors of these outfits.



Simple Chic









Happy Sewing!

  1. I've heard of Cadena before, but I have never been anywhere that has the fabrics for sale. What about the patterns they show in the magazine? How expensive are the fabrics?
    Also, I got my Vogue Patterns magazine today and they are showcasing fabric shopping in Chicago.
