DESIGN: little black dress

my most recent personal design project is a little black dress. I think I was channeling Haider Ackermann when draping this one. I like the way the color black unifies everything. Although there are many design elements in this dress I feel that they compliment rather then distract from the other. I quite like the back but do not have an adequate shot of it, sorry.  I may take a photo and post it

DIY: jewelry making + video

So I've gone a tiny bit crazy with all of these. I think I have about ten pieces now including a bracelet and a necklace. In the video below I skipped a very important step;  you have to wrap the wire around your jems and onto a base, or create your own base before you can start to solder. Otherwise none of this will work. The solder will not adhere to just plain rock - at least not from my

ACCESSORY DESIGN: strange fruit

amethyst ring: my designThis is the ring from my previous post, as I stated before it is of my own design. For a while I couldn't decide whether I thought it was ugly-scary or scary-beautiful. With the help of Joe's father (teaching me how to use a soldering iron) I constructed it in about thirty minutes on Thanksgiving night. If you guys would like, I'll post a tutorial on how you can make your

OUTFIT: leather dress I designed for myself

dress & amethyst ring: my design, shoes: bakers Designed this dress about a year ago. Found it in the closet today and am so glad to have an excuse to wear it. Now that its fall, I don't look too much like a fool in a full leather ensemble, in Atlanta no less. The ring is my own design as well, I bought the amethysts a while back from a rock and mineral show and used a soldering iron to station

DESIGN: organza + opacities + white = love

jacket: my design, pants: my design, leotard: American Apparel shoes: Jeffery CampbellI designed both the pants and the jacket separately from one another - a long while ago - but I think they make a great pair. The normal shoulder seem in that jacket is transferred into the jagged design lines and the sides are vented.  My love affair with silk organza is apparent here. Hope you like it.  kisses

DESIGN: new leather jacket that I designed + new hair

jacket: my design, tee: my design, tights: Ohne Titel, shoes: thrift findA lot has happened in the last week - sorry for the lack of post guys... but, I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE NEW COLLECTION! am i excited enough for you, hehe? I designed this jacket in the process of draping the samples. I figured that the weather is changing and soon the leaves will have all fallen from the trees and therefore

DESIGN: drape Tee

jersey top I draped today. took about 20 mins to construct because I hand sewed it together while it was still on the form.

(re)DESIGN: From skirt to 2 piece

I found this skirt a little while ago and fell in love with the print. I'd worn it a few times before but nothing really seems to do it justice. That is why yesterday I decided to cut about 12 inch's off of the hem and used the fabric to make a basic bodice top to go with it.

DIY: ombre

Here is the finished product, the last image is a before shot. I must admit that the intended color was red, but as I winged it (didn't closely follow directions) it turned out to be a bright orange hue instead. Plus it's not exactly an ombre effect, is it?  Kinda resembles orange smoke or clouds or something. Yet, I think I like it.

DIY: fur heels

BEFOREINSPIRATIONsorry guys, I did this project at night and didn't realized (until halfway through) that I had no batteries for the flash on my camera. So, I didn't take in-progress or process photos for this one. But it's not hard at all; basically what you do is cut up strips of fur with an xacto-like blade from the back (the skin side) and past them on to your shoes (use heavy duty glue).

DESIGN: sheer & opaque silk skirt

This skirt has got to be one of my favorite side projects yet. Its is a little trendy, I know - I know, but I feel that this is my own sort of twist on the long sheer skirt with short opaque skirt under it thing.

DESIGN: dress i designed for MYSELF

I started to design this dress about two months ago; a few days before my flight to NYC. Originally it was suppose to be a simple shift dress, but as I started to work on it again I completely let my scissors run wild. I guess I just wanted to push it a bit more. Something a little daring, sensual &  feminine. Wa-la, a little black dress is born. One that I flatter myself is pretty perfect for me

DESIGN: pants - jagged asymmetry

Designed these asymmetrical black & white pants right before I left Atlanta. First time designing something with so many points to sew. Came to the realization that it's damn hard to sew consecutive acute angles. Another first would be the marriage of two so different fabrics. A cotton (the white) & satin faced organza (the black). It turned out great I think. A kind of mixing of two worlds,

DESIGN: sheer organza pants in white

I designed these pants the week before I left Atlanta for NYC. Well, not really. I constructed these pants that very week but, they were designed and the fabric was cut about a year prior to my departure. This is my first time wearing them, which is in itself not an easy feat. You have to find the perfect undergarment where as not to show too much skin and appear vulgar. I decided to wear it

DESIGN: drop crotch-high waisted pants

This is an impulsive post. I am not sure why but I felt that I just had to show you guys these pants today. Like the last garment design that I posted, they are not a part of any upcoming collection just part of my on-going process. And of course when I design clothes that are not part of any collection, I make them  in my size so I am supper excited to wear them. They are 100% silk crepe and

DESIGN: leather envelope clutch

What you will need: about two square feet of leather, a large envelope (or one that is your preferred  perfect sized clutch) and leather bonding Fabric-Tac.What to do: use the envelop as your pattern piece and trace the outline onto the back side of your leather. Cut out the pattern piece and glue the edges together in order to form your envelop. Hand stitch a snap onto the center top of the

DESIGN: knit top

 This is the newest garment that I have designed for myself - and not for a collection. Its a 100% cotton kimono knit top that is very soft and supper comfortable. It is feminine, minimalistic and sensual and I love wearing it.

DESIGN: it started with a sketch

 Remember this sketch from a few post back? I finished this one-piece trompe - l oeil dress about two months ago.  This is my first time wearing it. (The jacket and the dress are one-piece not separates)Twitter | Facebook | Bloglovin
