Why I hate fashion
"The goods lay unwrapped on my ordinary bed. They looked odd there. They didn't fit. The marketing doesn't follow you home."

Fashion....
Is it odd that I find Tanya Gold's recent article in The Guardian (Why I Hate Fashion) both hilarious and familiar in sentiment? As a designer, my immediate instinct upon seeing the article title is to chalk Gold's title up to ignorance or maybe even bitterness. But after reading the whole article, which does occasionally steer towards the dramatic, I found that the message was one that so many women I know can relate to: exclusion. Even those deeply involved in the industry often feel that they have to become someone else in order to fit in....

Retro?
Ummm....is it still okay for people to wear leather pants?
How about a leather pant suit? With ruffles. To an online college graduation ceremony.
Just wondering.

He Say/She Say....
This is the animation I created for my final project in my Computer in Arts class; it inspired the He Say/She Say jacket (posted with my portfolio pictures below). The song is "Anything" by Martina-Topley Bird.

MFA Portfolio....
Sooooo......after a brief, self-imposed seclusion, I have finally submitted my application and portfolio for my Master's in Fibers. The past 2 1/2 months have been the most physically and mentally exhausting I've endured since my fashion ungrad program; they've also been the most prolific.
But enough about that--the 20 pieces I submitted with my application are displayed below; they can be enlarged with a single click. Photography by the talented Andy White; check out photobucket.com/awphotosamples for more samples of Andy's work. Special thanks go out to Ranz for letting us transform his living room for the photo shoot, models Shem and Jade, and shoot stylist Sarah.
