ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Ahoy lovelies,
It's not long until Emilie Autumn and her Bloody Crumpets start for the next tour. Don't miss the show near you and get enchanted by having a musical and visual glimpse in her asylum! It's a blast and great experience to breath hot stage air, have funny tea parties and travel with the crumpets Aprella, Lucina, Veronica and Joo Hee as Captain Vecona. During the last year cordially friendships have been grown and it was an honour to have a hand in this universe performing, building stage decoration and - most important - making opulent costumes.
Unfortunately it's not possible to discontinue the main creative work and the sewing machine for weeks or even months and let drift the pirate ship alone and forsaken on the high seas. Thanks to your demand, the book of commissions is full to the brim, and so Captain Vecona takes leave of the asylum with mixed feelings.
VECONA is a fashion label in the first place and many other jobs and projects are waiting for to be realized, so stay curious! The new costume of another great artist can be seen very soon at this point. ^^
Many thanks to Emilie for the creative cooperation, the incredible insight into the world of shows, stages, tour busses and hotels of Europe. The time with the girls was unforgettable and I'm looking forward to see them again at the next opportunity. :-)
VECONA wishes Emilie and her Bloody Crumpets a wonderful and successful tour and much fun for you at the shows!
Warmest regards, royal seamstress V.

- Pink Corset - $381.00
- Ruffle Top - $126.51
- Striped Bloomers - $355.00

- Hurt Heart Corset - $1,009.88
- Sacred Heart Corset - 176.00 EU ($214.76)
- "MAD" Straight Jacket - $520.00
Vecona has also recently sold a few Emilie Autumn items herself, most likely in a spring cleaning of her costume closets. The sofa and foostool were used in the "4 o'Clock" Angst-im-wald photoshoot.
- Joulie Rouge's Hair (wig) - 59.00 EU
- Striped Top Mini Dress - 90.00 EU

Personal Life and Career[]
Vecona currently resides in Germany with her husband. She has launched her collection "Vecona Vintage," a clothing line inspired by fashion of the 1950s, and seems to have been moving away from gothic attire. All of her clothing is made to order, and she has also been known to recreate Emilie Autumn outfits for people upon request.
