Jane D'Arensbourg studio visit

It has been a while since I have had a chance to blog. Time flies by so quickly! I am already in the middle of designing fall. Excited to see what happens.
I also had the chance to visit Jane D'arensbourg's studio last month in Brooklyn. Jane has all of her colorful pyrex glass and ceramic necklaces hanging on display. I took these pictures last September when I was in NYC.

Jane is the nicest person! I really enjoyed seeing her art studio. It was very inspiring to see her artwork, jewelry and other projects she is working on. Seeing an artists work space is always inspiring. Enjoy the pictures. Thanks Jane!

MORE TO COME!

Spring 10 & printing in action...

We recently shot spring 2010 this last weekend. I really enjoyed the team I worked with. Ben Mayorga was the photographer and Sharon Maloney was the stylist. Can't wait to share the pictures!

I also borrowed some jewelry from Brian Crumley. Brian often combines printed silks and chains, hand carved wooden bangles, and combines magical glass baubles that are suspended on his signature heavy duty links . They are exquisitely crafted and have wonderful hand and weight that give the jewelry a presence. I love jewelry that feels good on you. "Brian continues to explore his passion for abstracting form and function, allowing the medium to influence his design. He is creating a new graphic language, a compilation of graphic design and sculptural form. His designs are bold, clean, and always chic."

Sharon touching up the model Alison. Tamara Brown did the makeup and hair.

Our last shot done in the stairwell.

First International Press!

I am very excited to be in the Polish lifestyle magazine :pianamagazine.com. I am included in the USA edition for May and one of the featured fashion designers. Other designers featured: Yelena Konovalova's line Cut-It-Out. Yelena is a Russian born designer who now lives and in New York. She creates her prints from cut out paper designs. Her current lighthearted collection of limited edition pieces was inspired by Russian folk art and pagan fairytales. Thanks Jagna!

Sydney Pfaff a local stylist and journalist recently borrowed some clothing from my Spring 09 collection. I love how the pictures turned out! To read or see more of Sydney's work or the Spring 09 photos click: Sydney Pfaff

I was thrilled to hear that Maria Cornejo was in town! Maria was at MAC tuesday night to discuss her line and meet local fans. I have always wanted to meet her. Maria was charming and easy to talk to. She was one of the first designers I admired when I was a student at Parsons. While living in NYC I would wander into her nolita store. Maria always had unusual shapes and amazing geometry designed into her clothing.
