Marie Claire

Editing photos today for an upcoming Marie Claire and Loft by Ann Taylor style contest. Narrowed four hundred photos to 37. My model Jordyn is the quintessential Marie Claire girl! Love her. She is beautiful but has the fun quirky thing making her so relatable to guys and gals.

Loft fits my design aesthetic because they have great foundation pieces. I love to build with color, texture and layers to create my unique fun, flirty and relaxed look.

What a great summer experience. So much to explore. So much to learn. Combining it with social media makes it really interactive. Sometimes it is nice to get away from the sewing machine and enjoy everything fabulous about FASHION!  It will be back to fifteen hour a day sewing sessions before I know it!

Summer love!

The School of Fashion at Kent State University

Considering a career in fashion?  Kent State University has the third best fashion design school in the United States and one of the largest fashion musuems right on campus.  If you want a first hand report on the great opportunities at Kent, e-mail me at stallon@kent.edu.

See the Katherine Hepburn exhibit at The Kent State University Museum this month. Her costume collection is incredible.

 

I spend most of my life in  this building and I love it! I bet you would be surprised to know this building is FULL of sewing machines.

Kent teachers are well respected in the industry. They work outside the school as fashion professionals, they teach and mentor.

Kent internships are available all over the world.
