New Shoes

I finally finished my shoe today!! It's sporty and good for the Spring Season with the mesh windows. Your feet will be able to breathe!

Paint It

Hope Thanksgiving was fun for everyone! I'm pretty excited since I got to play with a Wacom tablet for the first time today! It's much different than rendering with markers but the effect is quite interesting! Not bad for a first time right? I'll practice some more before I render the figures for my visual class. I need to figure out this hair! The girls look they went to a hole in the wall salon and got garish highlights from a box!

Love Your Friends

Bart Hess

With the opening of Gaga's Workshop this week I think the Upper East Side's been a bit hectic. There's a bunch of cool stuff like a Lady Gaga candle bust, stockings in the form of shoes as well as unicorns, and little monster toys! While browsing through WGSN and Stylesight I found these images which reminded me of her born this way video. There's such an interesting narrative and a lot of symmetry in the video. The visual imagery is beautiful!


Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Follow Through

Here's a muslin of the skirt I'm working on for my final project!! I need to iron it.. there's just so many creases I see. This weekend I tried to get my fabric samples and mock ups finished but there's always so much to do and not enough time. 

After that I took the prints I superimposed my print designs on the skirt sample I made up and I really like it on my skirt! Maybe I should get them printed on fabric. I'm going to continue playing with the print sizing on the skirt. 

I'm so excited though! I have a two day school week this week and then it's Thanksgiving!! Happy holidays everyone!

I've been working on developing more visually interesting print designs. What do you think? I'm also trying to incorporate some of them into my Body as Narrative collection for Integrated Studio. When I compare them to my other prints I'm very happy to see my improvement. 

Bubble Pop Electric

Maison Francis Kurkdijan

Bubble! I really have an urge to play with bubbles after a rainy day in NYC. They're so dainty and free, I just love the way they float around in the air. 

Tie Me Down

Here's the shirt I made for my Body as Canvas project. For this sewing piece I focused on the grain of fabric which is demonstrated by the stripe in the fabric. After creating the basic shirt pattern I cut the cap off the sleeve and made a pattern for 2 bows, a small one and a bigger one. 

Do No Wrong

Get Some, Lykke Li

For Integrated Studio we are working on our final collection, The Body as Narrative. I have decided to create a story based off the Sirens. The Sirens are three dangerous bird women who lured men to shipwreck using their music. Here are some of the images I have begun collecting.

Sky with Diamonds

Here is some of the digital stuff I did this week. I concentrated on filling my flats with the prints I designed and developing an engineered print. 

I'm So Excited

I am loving life right now. I can't believe Helmut Lang mentioned me!! This makes me so excited beyond belief. I've mentioned before that I love their brand and that I drool over their drapes. Their clothing is gorgeous! Asymmetrical clothing made of micromodals, silks, and leathers are incredible combined in an outfit. I am so happy!!

My Kind of Girl

Here are five looks from my new Body as Canvas collection. I was inspired by the deconstruction of a white shirt and predators. The idea of ripping up a classic white shirt led to me thinking about predators ripping into their prey. For this collection the use of hard and "crunchy" fabrics were rendered because my girl has a cool-girl attitude and is very edgy. Of course I used Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils to illustrate my figures!

You're an Alien

Illustrations I did for my Visual Communications class earlier in the semester and ideas for my collection that's due on Monday!! I'm so glad my girls' heads aren't round and pointy anymore. Sorry for the quality on the illustrations! I took the picture with my iphone.
