!ts all about texture...

Unfortunately we live in an era where, pretty much everything that could be done, has been done. Especially in fashions case. So with that said, its all about textures and prints! because ideas and techniques can be pushed as far as you are willing to take it.

At Last Another Year at SAIC, My last Year!

       So...as of now, I am a senior in the notorious SAIC Fashion department and as our final days in the Sullivan building pass us by, we will be focusing our first semester on learning menswear. I myself lean more towards women's wear, so I'm sure this year will kick my ass in many ways. 
       Anyways, our first project is men's jackets, with an emphasis on the concept of hybrid.....o0o0o..so we are all allowed to conceptualize it any way we want, which is great! What did i choose to do? oh well thanks for asking...
      The hybrid of Science & Nature, more specifically using mathematics (phi-the golden ratio) on organic objects (plants, animals, humans) to explain why things are the way they are, to keep it simple. Mans way of using science to understand the ways of the unfathomable universe.

So after some hard thinking about the mathematics of form and the perfect interlocks of shapes 
(ex-honeycombs) I thought about Tessellations! and who else can do tessellations better than M.C.Escher?

M.C.Escher - Day and Night
Which made me think of this beautiful thing....by that i mean the jacket.




I Designed my jacket with all these ideas in mind, aaaand the picture is TBD, sorry, I'm just a little weary about putting technical images online. Always gotta be safe! Just know that this image is my main inspiration.....

SAIC Fashion Show 2011












Theres me all the way i the back! SAIC Fashion Show 2011!

Well the big day finally came! The annual SAIC fashion show! The walk was held in Chicago's beautiful Millennium Park and had shows going all day from 9am to 9pm! 
A hard day of work, dressing models, getting yelled at to dress models faster, the constant backstage caos, and the perpetual itch to make sure your garment is looking it's best before they hit the runway!
Ikram came and received her award at the night show where there was word of Rodarte being in the crowd! o0o0o, not sure, but i'd like to think so

Photo shoot with Yeva (Mercury Photo)

I did a Photo shoot with Yeva of Mercury Photos on May 1st to document my 3 looks for the show. It was a lot of fun! We did a bunch of shots around Chicago by the lake front as well as a site with power lines and concrete which was great! more photos to come!
