Tell us about the inspiration behind your Crocs collection. Yeah, so these are iconic prints, or you can say iconic moments from Project Runway Season 8 and All-Stars. Then moving forward this one was from season 8, a dress that I designed for my final collection. It was also a dress Heidi Klum ended up…
It’s my second week at AQUA Studio! Wooohooo! Well, actually it WAS my second week, now I’m on my third, reporting on the second. Ok…now I’m confusing myself, so I can’t imagine what I’m doing to you. Of course I had a class with Lady Emma, but I also took the “Power” class with Anne.…
No, this story isn’t about the critically acclaimed Netflix series, Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman, but based off the statement colors during London Fashion Week. Each season Pantone decides a “color of the year” that deciphers what shade will be hitting the stores on a variation of fashions – nail lacquer, makeup,…
I love technology. The only thing I love more than tech is probably technological accessories. I’m sort of a nerd that way. It’s interesting to see how tech companies and their accessories distributors try to appease the ever wanting market. For instance, all these high-tech headphones that emulate the sound of a recording studio, are…

I have tried to combine old-world charm with modern simplicity – to juxtapose fluidity and hand embroidery with hard, structural elements.

So to control where the heat travels, and give our pin curls the direct heat they need to last longer, trust…
At times I wish we could skip right over Spring and hit Summer. You know those Summers that look like Summer but feel like Spring with cool breezes that flush over your suntanned skin. None of that sweat accumulating between your thigh nonsense that occur when you step outside your air conditioned apartment to a…
No one likes shapewear. Most on the market are uncomfortable, don’t flatten, or minimize, the areas you’d hoped they would, or are just plain ugly. I mean, I want a waist cincher to flatten my midsection, not give me a third breast AND a diaper butt. Plus if there’s going to be sexy time somewhere…
Each summer, the Yale School of Architecture takes a group of students to Rome, for a hand drawing workshop. Througout their visit students are encouraged to roam the city to explore and discover design elements utilized and maintained through time. The current exhibit “To Draw is to To See: Drawings of Rome” is a compilation…
The one thing I look forward to seeing on the runways are collections that can only be described by words such as “encrusted”, “embroidered”, or “embellished”. These adjectives discern pieces of such priceless magnitude, one only envisions it draped across the silhouettes of royals. Designers such as Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra and Carolina Herrera always…
