Princess Dress


This this dress was made for a pattern drafting class.  I actually enjoyed making this dress because it's a really simple dress, not too much to think about and it's also like a review for me because I have made something similar before.  I also use elastic to create gathers on the sleeves which I've never done before and it turn out really nice.

Vanity clothing Line

I have designed this clothing line concept for my illustrator class. I wanted to create something sophisticated and fun.

Kimono Sleeves Dress

This is another dress that I have designed for an advanced clothing construction class.

It's a loose fitting dress that can be wore day or night with a kimono sleeve that has an opening along the sleeves.

This dress is made of 100% silk, so it's very comfortable for spring for summer season.

I also gave this dress a lower back and cover it with black lace to give it a hint of a sexy look.

Tailored Jacket

This is a tailored jacket that I made for an advance clothing construction class. It is a 100% wool jacket. I love the fitting of it. It's contour to the body perfectly.

The jacket it's fully lined with 3 buttons front closer.

The shoulders are also padded to give a nice posture look.

Dress design for Shabby Apple dresses

These are my designs for shabby apple. These designs are inspired by the 60"s looks. You can also check out Shabby Apple Dresses at http://www.shabbyapple.com/

I decided to design something that is classic and elegant that would be suitable for their line.

The fabrics that I chose for these dresses are mostly poplin and one wool. The color that I chose for each dress has two solid color for each dress. I wanted to have a little fun with the contrast color according to Spring season. And since it's spring season, I don't want to overpower the dress by very bright colors.

The dress that I chose to enter the contest is called Barbara Stanwyck Dress. This dress is really simple but yet classic. It has white shirt inside a dress which is still comfortable for the dress that has a lower neckline. The fabric I chose for this dress is poplin which I found suitable for this design.

Top models !

According to Style.com's Top 10 models , Agyness Deyn is number one . The web site list the "most popular" models by popularity . I've been keeping up with the post and so far it hasn't changed in a while . This may very well be THE most popular models since the names are among the most spoken of (popular , right). I can't argue with the sites list considering even I've heard these models names or read about them . Of the most popular name , the one I've heard most , is Kate Moss . The model has been mentioned in two singers/songwriters songs that listen to , Jewel and Chantal Kreviazuk . These models are indeed amazing at what they do and in my opinion they deserve to be on that list .

fur is dead . com

I absolutely can't write for a blog and not express my belief that animals are not ours to wear . There's simply just too many alternatives to animal skins and animal produced fibers (like silk) . What's more is the fact that this fibers are just as , if not more , good as those of animals . Aside from the fact that the fabric is just as great lies the truth that these poor , defenseless animals have to suffer for our so-called "good looks" . . in my opinion , people who wear fur demonstrate an underlining of themselves . . and it doesn't look good . To say that you can sacrifice another's life for the comfort of yours makes you a coward , a cheater at the meaning of life . Please come join an organization like PeTA to end the suffering and give animals the only thing that we , as humans , need . . a chance at life .

Rough, blood and fashion

The "killer" looks that Dsquared2 present in their Fall 2010 Menswear show are not only emotionally appealing , but the strong bet up models scream of sex appeal . How the high fashion (and long time Menswear) can get this look right demonstrates why there is a separation of meaningless and high fashions . The runway shows rock and roll , bloody and bet with boots (made for stomping) . I guess the next question is what's not to love ?

Suicide by a legend

Sad to explain that we lost one of the most innovating and exciting fashion designer of our time - Alexander McQueen , 40 . McQueen took his own life but left us with plenty of high art/fashion and a view at what fashion is all about . To say that crowds weren't moved by the power of his clothes would be a lie and to say he was only "okay" would be a under statement . You will be missed .

Fashion lines go green

When we hear the word organic, we often think about food. When it comes to clothing, do we really think about what we wear can harm the environment.
