Sunflowers and Haystacks

Becky, my boss, once told me my style was like sunflowers and haystacks. I loved this! Here's a picture of my new iPhone case- I think she was onto something.

Illustrating once again

I have a video interview tomorrow for Mass Exodus and need to have pictures, inspiration etc. for them to film in the segment. I wasn't happy with my illustrations so I started working on new ones but I think it is a bit too time consuming. I guess I'll have one cool one and the rest can be regular!

oh the HORROR

Side Note: RAU mini-line

This is obviously not a part of my final collection.
As a group assignment in my "Fashion in International Markets" course, I was assigned into a group of 5 people. We were given a country and went on to research the demographics, psychographics, and the apparel industry of said country. We then had to design a product with 3 variations. As one of the two design students in the group, I decided upon an eco-friendly mini-line of business casual blazers. They are made of organic cottons, hemps, wool, and recycled lambskin leather contrast pieces.

I designed us a logo with the name "RAU" meaning "rugged" in German- I think dudes will like that.

Gloria

Here's a photo of nearly finished Gloria. So many issues with this one... I had to redo the whole darn thing. Thankfully, I had Jamie helping me burn the edges of the organza petals and applying glue to the stain petals to prevent them from fraying.
