Clozapine?

To my surprise, Mary-Kate Olsen covers the September issue of Marie Claire.
I was excited to see the magazine come out with an issue so true to fall. Also featured in the Mary-Kate spread is my very favorite, long time crush, the Made Her Think Ring Talon Knuckle Buster.
Mmm.Mmm.Mmm.

(Erin Wasson 2010 shoot)





I feel as if my blogging time has been taken over by online classes and fashion spark fires. As September approaches, I am pulling every fall fashion issue off the stands and diving deep into army greens, fur, leather, and leopard. I fell in love with the Erin Wasson shoot above...and have been meaning to share this with you late fashion followers -as I know my up to date bloggers are rolling their eye's with the "old news"- I will post all of my new found inspirations as soon as time allows.

Oh..and side note... Alex Wang and Erin Wasson for Halloween? Don't mind if I do Mr. Lu...xoxo

the body of creativity

The following set of photos were taken at Mrs. Jessica Palmers new and improved Raleighwood home. As the process unfolds, new seams, zippers, and extra touches are included in the mix. The ever forming idea grows with new inspiration of lace and textile. To see the collection come together with detail and sparkle is a process in which the designer must create in the mind first.

The design idea builds a foundation depending on its potential to function as one. As the collection grows, I see the progression of ideas form into one body of creativity. The legs, the arms, the hands, are forming to the design idea of creative spirits and hopes. Do stay tuned dear friends..

embellish the idea

The creation process is beginning to shine with newly draped fabrics and embellished beads. It is exciting to be apart of this. These photos were taken at the lovely home of Patricia. She is the one behind the embellished beauties. Her work space was more than inspiring, as it shows so well with her designs. Jessica has set the bar, and is now completing dresses left and right. It is exciting to see how these two creative minds tangle together the ideas of soft curves, graceful movement, and perfect balance. Cheers ladies.

A colorful mood

As of course, New York is always amazing, I have paid for my absence. Work, work, and more work. School alone has captured my time, and then the often drama of the salon world seems to be using up whats left. Summer has proven to be more than amazing, and much more than I could have ever hoped for.
This quarter I am taking a Fashion Styling class. We have been assigned different designers showing their collection in Raleigh's upcoming fashionSPARK. It is always an exciting time for Raleigh, and a true celebration of the creative minds found here. I have been paired up with Jess Patti designs, and will be documenting the "design process" -if you will- of their collection. This in all, leads to the reasoning behind this post. While in New York, I was able to aid in the fabric selection process for Jessica's dress designs. What a whirlwind of fabric choices and creative minds. New York does nothing more than refill my creativity pot and remind me that everything you work hard for will pay off. Throughout the rest of the semester I will be photographing the progress of the collection, then hold an exhibit of the idea of fashion, creatively explaining the message behind this fashionable task. Hope you enjoy the photos and wonderful fabric choices. Thank you Mood.
