These photographs of Paris nightlife in the 1930s are currently so inspiring to me! The night club dancers, like Josephine Baker, had a sense of glamour and eroticism about them. Hope you enjoy them as well!

I know Lady GaGa’s new music video for Bad Romance has been out for about a week now, but I couldn’t really call myself a design blogger without posting about this! It’s amazing. I wasn’t really a huge Lady GaGa fan until I saw this music video. Check out the amazing shoes and designs from [...]

All these products are obviously from recycled materials. However, what makes them unique is that the material they are derived from is not masked or hidden. With the pool ball earrings the original design creates a unique color blocking and the minimalistic asterisk of a computer key makes a bold ring. My favorite definitely has [...]

Here are some great new blogs I just came across: Jak and Jil is a blog of street style spotted on the streets of Paris, New York, London, etc. In my opinion, it is really beneficial to see the designs actually worn by the consumers verses just seeing it on a model on the runway. [...]

I have been chosen to design my senior collection under the mentorship of Zac Posen. He is coming this weekend to review the work of the selected students, which makes me both excited and terrified!

Sandra Suy is a fashion illustrator I have always loved. I find myself returning to her work as I challenge myself to improve my sketching. I love how she combines realistic details with geometric bold shapes. She is worth researching more!
