Mixing up the eras

secret date

Pierre and I go on a date every weekend
We alternate in the secret location

This weekend it was Pierre's turn

This is what I wore

waiting for food
not knowing where we will go





The secret location:
Opera at the ball park

I need to file a complaint, Im hoping I'll have fellow complainers!

Dear Marc Jacobs
Come on!!!
It really isn't fair
you could have at least launched this idea for fall
it would be great because
our identical collections
could exist at the same time
Our ideas are always intertwined, but this is when it counted!!!
The teachers stick you on the same collection for a year and a half

I have no choice, it all has to go!

but really
Ive worked on this collection for a year and a half!!
luckily I haven't sewn anything yet!!!

Now I'm going to be behind
in my fashion school thesis!!!

It is your fault

I have to re-work everything

see for your self.

I mean come on look at these pants below
stop it!!!!!!!!!!!













Compare more of my Fall designs here
with
your collection Spring 2010 here

Sincerely,
Mrs. upset

A shirt meant for Bette Davis, was actually meant for me

Sorry Bette Davis, but its mine now, you shouldn't have been so picky!

Im wearing it with a chartreuse 40s jacket
probably because 40s suits are always on my mind

When there were no posts I was....

I was busy this summer getting ready for my final collection

this is my last year of school

I had to work on 3 collections:

Liz Claiborne (to win money for CFDA)

And two of my choice, that could become my final collection

I was critiqued last week

It would be fabulous if everyone reading this would also critique :)

Keep in mind that these need to be developed further for the runway (these showns would be the garments that would be sold)

Inspiration: Liz Claiborne (over all feel) Du champ astronomy Dada (everything)

Inspiration: Shell (silhouette) and nudibranch (textile and placement) 1800 references (details) FALL

Over the shoulder animals

Once I found out that these
shoulder brooches existed
I was on a mission
to find every model possible

Here is one of my smaller brooches
