School Gym Fashion

I havent posted pictures of the fashion show because I wasn't too
excited about the results. The first feeling I got when it was over can
only be described as relief. There are just so many pictures so I am going
to make separate post. These are some of the preparation before the show...


My Bags and Anya's Tool Box


Paul Mitchell Design Team did the Hair and Makeup for my girls.
There was some drama with the "Promotions Class" who thought I stole
them from the school. Actually, Whitney is a friend and hooked it up
when the school originally flaked.


Paul Mitchell Design Team from the school at Town & Country


Momo the biggo Bug-O

I wanted the hair to be curly and teased and HUGE.
Paul Mitchell Design team did such a great job on our models!


Jen Pena

I wanted the make up to be a red wine lip and
touch of plum to enhance their eye color.






Judy is from Uganda and so perfect. We
stalked her down at the Galleria.


Phoenix was one of Anyas model... Finger waves were
popular in the '20s but they did a great job making it modern.


Holly G


Phoenix is in highschool but she makes
her uniform look so cute.


Rehearsal

Special Thanks to Mo Maun, Jen, Holly, Whitney, and Todd!

Finally, I'm so glad to be out of school since I will be able to
concentrate on styling, blogging and leisure reading.
Will post more pictures tomorrow!

Make It Work...

And that's what it all comes down to.
There is one week before our collections is
due and presented to be judged by family, faculty
and peers.


Today, one of my teachers told me he was going to boo
me and that was pretty inspiring. As soon as he walked out
of the room I began to bawl... mainly, because I HAVE SO MUCH to do
in one week.

WORK Room

Currently, working on my portfolio.
Ink, Water Color, Markers, and...
I am dedicating all day today and
tomorrow on this.

Creating is kind of expensive.

I need new shoes. :(

Vent #1

My priority above everything is finishing this collection.
I don't want anything that represents me to... suck real bad. I
have high standards for everything I create.

The craziest part of everything is I made my first dress ever in December.
I mean I have been in the Fashion Design program since Spring 2006. My
passion has been styling and until December was everything I wanted. I really
like making things and choosing fabrics... I have spent more money on fabrics,
threads, trims, inks, and paper and NY then I have on clothes or shoes. :(

Our school has been really not cool to the collections class. First off, We have
to find our own models. We also have to find our own hair and make up people.
They also sold all the front row tickets before any students in the fashion department
even had a chance to buy any for our families. My parents have been the biggest support
system I have and it sucks that they cant get dibs on that. BOO!

I am pretty proud of the things I have made considering my experience. I love the
theme and I am hugely influenced by my surroundings, colors, and crazy awesome
sick patterns. I love the unexpected mixed with the expected to create something
you never expected to love.

This blog has really helped me archive all the things I want and can't
have. If I can't have them, someone else should, right??
But it goes beyond my materialistic side, it has helped me stay
inspired and continue doing and reading and researching the things I love.
Thank you to everyone who continues to visit this blog every day even
when I have not posted. :)

Yesterday, Anya, Ashleigh and I went museum hopping for
some inspiration/motivation. Here are a few pictures from our adventure.

This is at the CAMH. Check out the Thom Browne sexiness.

Also, Thanks to Whitney for helping get me an
abundance of amazing hair and make up people.

No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn

You know what is really painful?
Kneeling down and a pin sticking half way
into the center of my knee.

Yeah...
Sorry for lack of updates but I have been way
too busy stabbing myself with pins and making
things I never knew I could make.
I will update with more things soon.

I love going into my internship since I get to see
all these lookbooks for Spring/Fall 2008, and
trend magazines.
There are so many things I want to blog about but
I seriously need to stay focused on this whole graduating thing.

Here is some randomness:

Williamsburg at 3 am stuff like this goes down


A friend and I in NY

School lately

Comic Strip leggings Anya made. For sale soon.



















My dress for collections and Anya

My sketching teacher

I am getting anxious.. there is less than a month for
my collections to be presented. I graduate mid May...
and I turn 23 May 31.
I want to move to NY but I need to go on a job hunt.
It is obviously impossible to find a job or room MONTHS
before a move.... Excitement, determination and hope is all
I can feel. I will ALSO be looking for a job mid May... Anything
to bring in the cash flow to reach my goals.

Cool Schooling
