Vogue.com
This was very random. I was at a bluegrass festival in May with the girls and someone asked if they could photograph me for VogueUK. I said sure but had absolutely no idea they were serious or that I would ever discover it. I mean...I have corn on the cob in my right hand! A friend of mine was actually searching for my designs and came crossed it. I was shocked. The quotes are definitely inaccurate but I love it. I made it into Vogue (or some sort of it) wearing my grandmothers square-dancing dress. Either way it's rad!

I've completely lost it
I have an upcoming show, September 17 in Raleigh, NC. This will be my third year in a row participating in FashionSPARK. Every year it continues to get bigger and better. The theme of the show is always "Wear What You Are". I'm going to be clowning around this year. I'll keep you posted on my work in progress. For now here is the hat I made today.

Goth Girl
I have the most amazing photo buddy ever. Her name is Aeschleah. Not only have we been collaborating on a photo project for three years but now we're figuring out ways to work together on other projects. She asked me to send her some pieces for a shoot she had in mind. I was a little worried about sending several garments in a huge brown box to SF. But, after seeing the end result I regret not sending more.
Original Domino one shoulder one piece.

Mel's custom order
I started writing about this dress and collar a couple weeks ago (May 9). My dear friend and loyal client Melanie asked me to design and construct a piece for her to wear to goth prom in DC. I had two weeks to complete it and send it off.
This is the text she sent me when she received it on Thursday (May 20),"GOT YOUR DRESS AND COLLAR! I AM WEARING THEM NOW THEY ARE PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT I AM SO HAPPY. THANK YOU. I LOVE IT. The skirt length is great. Cut to boobs great. Love the tag. The lace is awesome. Collar is just how I wanted. Love the material too."
I always get a little nervous when making a custom piece. Especially when the person ordering the dress is too far away to fit. I'm so happy the pieces turned out perfect and she loved it all.
And off it went.
I asked Mel to photograph herself in the dress when she got it...

Custom made for Megan
Megan's been modeling for me since my September FashionSpark show. After modeling for me again in Oct, she asked me to design a custom dress for her to wear on New Years Eve. I'm a little late on the post but needless to say she loved it! She was so excited and couldn't wait to call her mom and girlfriends. This is her on the phone telling everyone about how amazing it was. My first official custom order was perfect!

A new dress for Mel
Melanie has asked me to design and construct a dress for her to wear to an event in DC. It's gonna be wild! The event is in two weeks. Stay tuned.
Lady in Red
This was my artist statement. 20 designers were paired with 20 nonprofit organizations (ex:Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, Boys & Girls Club, Neuse River Foundation, Artspace etc..) for this fashion show benefit. Designers were asked to create an outfit that embodied the mission and 'spirit' of the organization they were paired with. The designer whose outfit best captures the essence of their organization according to a judge panel receives a $250 cash prize.
The winning garment was a vest that had forks and spoons on the shoulders and a skirt that was partly made up of cereal box leftovers. I don't know...you tell me. I suppose I should have made a coat of syringes and Splenda packages!
I took these first four images minutes before the show.
