this outfit..

So,I took this pic of Perez Hilton's website, which he wont mind,I don't think so. Anyways,I am in love with this outfit. I'll admit that although I love Lady Gaga to death some of her outfits are insane. But this one I'm in love with. Well I love tulle,and sheer garments,so she couldn't have gone wrong with this outfit. Yes or no?

semester 1 flat pattern

This was way back in December. It's my final term garment for flat pattern. I have definitely progressed since then. This garment on the sleeve has diamond cutouts down the center.The triangles on the bodice are outlined by braiding.The skirt is just a gored skirt.To make it a bit more interesting i "bedazzled" the skirts seams with a trim I had found.

The Gusset Sleeve

The blurry figure on the right is my professor.



I took the front and back bodice and created seams,in order to create the stripes.Well they aren't really stripes, more like L's kind off tilted. Then on the shoulders there's a cutout.It took awhile to sew,but it was fun and I like how it came out,can't wait to sew it up.

Flat pattern class semester 2

My flat pattern teacher was amazing. His name was Professor Zamkroff, and he made me fall in love with flat pattern.He was straight-forward,and at the beginning of the class he would have a whole bunch of images out, and ask us what type of sleeve was shown in the image, and how did we come to that conclusion. There was this whole world of sleeves out there that I never ever gave any thought to. Here's a piece I did in muslin,with a boat neckline.

Dusk till dawn
My senior collection at school. The theme was what we thought of the future, of what it held. I wanted to create a line about women being strong,and feeling comfortable but sexy. The clothes are meant to feel like your second skin. I was inspired by 80's rock and roll. Being rebellion.

Project Green.

Stephanie and I created this garment for Art Basel Miami. It was so exciting to finally do a garment of our own on such a huge scale. We could only use environment-friendly fabrics and our inspiration was the romance of nature and the appreciation we have for it.We also wanted to show how beautiful being green can be and look Our garment was made from 100% silk and the roses from silk dupioni. The fabric all came in white,so we had to dye it all. We used teabags, wine,onions to create the colors of the rose and dress. We spent around two months creating this garment,or less. The roses we did by hand and sewed each one on, and Stephanie got sick while we were sewing them on, and she was just like this cant be happening to me now.but we got her some Tylenol, and it was off to work. The day finally came where we had to present them. Stephanie and I were so excited, our model Talisa was amazing and the event went very well and the next day our entire fashion class came out in our local newspaper The Miami Herald!Later on, we presented our garment at Miami Fashion Week, which our close friend Leah modeled.It was her first time walking a runway and she did great, and loved it.
