The fall show is a just over a week away! Over Thanksgiving break I worked on some of my accessories- fabric wrapped bangles. I bought some ugly, cheap bangles online and used fabric scraps to create them into colorful bracelets to go with my outfits for the fashion show. They were fun and easy to make I can't wait to wear them after the show is over.

Welcome to Adventure Park

Today was the photo shoot for the Fall 2012 fashion show, and two of my designs were chosen for this shoot! We went to the Berkeley marina and stumbled across a park made up of tires, old boats, and recycled materials; it was the perfect scene for us to take pictures! The rain had stopped and the models bravely walked around barefoot in the cold, wet weather. It was really fun and I can't wait to see how the prints turn out. Here are some pictures I snapped on my iphone.

Preparing for the photo shoot.

Fall 2012 Preview

My Fall 2012 line is coming along! It's hard to focus on schoolwork when all I want to do is sew, sew, sew! I'm using the circle as the basis for many of my skirts and dresses and I love the fabrics I found. I'm going to create turbans to go with the looks to add to the 1920's vibe as well as some fun bracelets. The theme of the show is Quest and I've been imagining the girl wearing these clothes out on an adventure with a backpack and a spyglass, letting her imagination run wild.
