Lucky Hat
Meet my newest love, a red satin top hat designed by Trashy Lingerie and bedecked with all the essentials- bows, crinoline, feathers and stripes. However, this is not simply a gorgeous hat, ladies and gentlemen, this is a lucky hat.

The Chair
Hanna and I were on our way home from school this afternoon when we were confronted with a remarkable sight. The Chair. On the front lawn of the house directly across the street, sitting perfectly centered on a block of concrete, was the vintage leather and wood victorian dining chair pictured below. We were drawn across the road to examine it ( Read more... ) -

On The Runway
After submitting our designs to our college's secret board of shadowy fashion figures both Hanna and I were selected to have our outfits featured in the year end student fashion show. It was a very rare situation for us as designers to relax and view our clothes from the audience instead of being involved in the backstage chaos. The downside to ( Read more... ) -
Ringleader
This is my final outfit that I designed for the end of year fashion show at our school. We were only required to make a blouse and skirt combination but I decided to make things challenging for myself and sew a four piece set. I created a cropped jacket, a silk blouse, a waist cincher with tails and a short pencil skirt. The outfit was inspired ( Read more... ) -
The Blithe Spirit

For the assignment I read the play The Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward and then designed all the costumes for each character and organized them by scene.
