Eco-fashion

I had volunteered to do a Eco-fashion. What does that mean? The team was able to shop at Savers for no coast, it was part of the event. We had an hour to fill up our cart with what ever items interested us. We had the choice to style what we grab or change it to make a new garment. Naturally as a designer I had mix and cut up and resew new garments. Made pants  for tops, wedding gown, jackets and even pillowcases. While I was working on using old clothing to make new ones, I was able to come up with Ideas of what I can do with my own clothing. Anyone can use their old clothing to make it new to fit their style. At the end it might just come out better than the old one. Being creative and putting my self in to my garments was great. This was a learning experience and will do it again.

My Next Step In My Career

         As some people may know that I have recently graduated from college! I have been ask ask a question (I'm sure most of you all know what the question is). It was "So what are your plans now that you  graduated college?" Well what I can say, is that I am working on making a ready to wear clothing which is very different from what I usually do. I would like to start my own web page so that consumers are able to contact me, buy, and see what is available.  


       My ready to wear line for summer 2013 would consist of colors, prints, working with dart manipulation, details, and different body types. I style that I am interested on working with are the 50's style with a modern twist of my views.


      I was always into the history of fashion but mixing it with a modern twist in to my style views. Like we say fashion always repeats it's self one way or another. Here are some images of what I like and what  I feel my garments would incorporate. 


THE 50'S STYLE 




  


Some of the out come 




I would be posting up my progress of my garments and as well as the final garment. As well as fabric I that i had used. 
Thank you!!!

2013 Fashion Illustration Portfolio pages


            My portfolio pages!!! My fashion illustrations from hand painting with acrylic and adobe illustrator. I rather work with paint for my final illustrations. As for my flats I like to work with adobe because I like the clean look of it. My illustration flows with my garments with a clean, fancy, classy and a rich look.
