Class At Parsons

Hey!

Last summer I took a pre college class at Parsons.  I learned a lot from the class and it was a great experience!  In the last two weeks of the class each student designed a small collection and made garments from it.  The inspiration for my collection was figure skating and dancing.  I have been figure skating my whole life, and I wanted to put two things I love together, skating and fashion.  I tried to bring the gracefulness of skating to the collection by choosing pastel fabrics.  Below is the final collection, the garments I made from the collection, fabric swatches for the collection, and sketches from the process of designing the collection.

Fall 2013 Ready-To-Wear

Hi everyone!

Right now in New York the 2013 Fall Ready-To-Wear fashion shows are going on.  I have been watching many of them online.  I have also been looking at pictures of the shows on http://www.style.com/.  So far I have noticed dark, neutral, bright red colors will be in style.  There are lots of skirts that end right below the knee, and lots of patterned fabrics.  Here are some of my favorit shows!  I will post more soon!
