Building Voices

Currently Listening to:
Dan Deacon - Build Voice

I know this is terribly overdue. The Junior Mini-Thesis Show was a success. Our entire class worked so hard and it all showed; the faculty was very impressed with the level of craftsmanship that turned out. They're holding high expectations for us next year.

Some of my personal favorite collections that made it to the top 40 in the auditorium on mannequins. It was pretty official with the nameplats and spotlights and mannequins:

Melissa Marcial's menswear inspired by sleep patterns:
Sam Green's very versatile collection jump-started from Schiele:Maria Robla:Lauren Greenland's architecturally draped collection (I want it):Leslie Jones'. The center dress is layers of cotton with cut-outs (amazing):Finally, my first child, inspired by, Zaha Hadid's Chanel Mobile Art Pod/Modernism vs. Post-Modernism/Industrialism/Whatever-the-hell-else-I-felt-like-doing:
Look 1:
Blazer - sunblock vinyl with steel Bemberg lining
Tank - cotton ottoman
Pant - cotton twill with steel poly-lycra panels

Look 2:
Pushed side seam and shoulder seam dress - Steel and white cotton ottoman with full cotton lining
Bag - Croc skin embossed lambskin leather

Look 3:
Vest - Nappa Valley Lambskin
Shirtdress - Cotton picquéEllen Tracy white shirts, the final products. Apparently all the shirts sold out at Bloomie's within 2 days. A second delivery is scheduled for August where some of the shirts will be made in black.

All the ups and downs of getting to this point was worth it. Great things are in store for next year.
