runway

pic from the fashion show of my stuff going down the runway.
super-big zoolander fashion moment for me

collection II







finally!
senior collection II

this is supposed to kind of culminate my experiences at college, and be a representation of what i have learned, what i can do, who i am going to be as a designer. 
i am actually REALLY proud of it, but i dont really feel all of the culmination business. 
i dont really think that any one project should serve as a representation of a more extended period. this collection, to me, is more of a representation of who i am right now.
i wouldlike this to serve as a reference, and a time capsule of how i view design right now. i would like to go back, months, years, or decades frm now, and look at who i was and how i have changed.
if i tried to pack everything that i learned while i was in college into one project, it would be a mess. instead i just did whatever i wanted, i let my inhibitions go, and i made the collection that i wanted to make



Citypaper Style Issue

here is the shot for the citypaper style issue that i worked on in march. The subject is nichole canuso, a dancer who owns her own dance company and is what i like to call "philly phamous"
the feature was about her, but i was asked to come in and style her according to what i thought would be popular for spring etc. of course the shoes were from BUS STOP, but the top was mine, and the amazing suedue skirt was nicholes. i really wish i could have taken that home with me :)
we did alot more shots than this, and i kind wonder why they chose this one, because she was doing crazier stuff than a little phone dialing.
