I'm Red!

As you can probably tell by the quality of this photograph this is an incredibly hasty post but I thought that I would at least make a feeble attempt to keep my readers up to date amidst midterms and everything else that happens in university life. This weekend I was feeling a change so I decided to dye my hair red. It's fairly subtle but I think it's fun...I just wish it wouldn't fade so quickly! What's your take? Red or brunette? Also I am simply dying to see "Where the Wild Things Are"...it looks incredible! Maybe I can squeeze it in at some point. Until next time, Ciao!

P.S. I don't know if I mentioned this or not but I ended up joining my school's cheerleading squad! I was a little concerned about going red with a blue and yellow uniform (vain, I realize) but I think it worked out alright (that's our t-shirt there). What do you think? Do I look like a box of crayons?

Get Inspired

Lately I've been getting a lot of questions about what one actually does in a Fashion Design program. Of course, there is a lot to it, but I thought that it may interest some if I shared a little tidbit from my university life. This year one of my big projects is to design and make a daywear dress for spring. Of course, as a designer there is a lot that goes into formulating a brilliant idea, and most important of all is the inspiration! I ended up choosing 'Military Uniforms in the Nineteenth Century' for my theme and came up with the following board. I am quite pleased with the results and the overall feel! In case you can't read the quote, it says this "At the close of this war I will remove my insignia and wristwatch. I will continue to wear my short coat so that everyone can kiss my ass." - George S. Patton. I think that it embodies the pretentious vibe of military costume brilliantly! What do you guys think of it? I really feel that having an inspiration board is a good idea for everyone, designer or not...just remember to go with your gut when making it...you might be surprised by the results!

P.S. I'm dying to become a red head...can I make it work?
