Handmade Kitsch Clothing

Tis the season for fashion shows and fresh ideas! I was so inspired by the Art to Wear and Raleigh Redress fashion shows, that I decided to make my own clothes! My brain was over flowing with ideas, so I had to create some handmade kitsch clothing. I’m not a great sewer and I have one of those $80 Brother sewing machines, but I’m the only one who knows what my clothes look like inside out, right? I spent all week finally starting to put a dent in my fabric stash. The end result? Check out my Flickr slide show!

NCSU 2011 Art to Wear Fashion Show

I am so excited to share the experience of working my first fashion show with you all. I had the amazing opportunity to be the key makeup artist for Designers Afaf Seyam and Suzy Atkinson for the 10th Anniversary North Carolina State University 2011 Art to Wear Fashion Show. I worked on 7 models in 4 hours. Half of their face was supposed to have a silver metallic theme and the other side was natural. The theme of their collection was modern architecture, so they had pieces inspired by the Chysler Building, Beiging Bubble Building, the Bird Nest in Beiging, the Guggenheim in Spain, the Cathedral Brazile, and the Seattle Space Needle. Suzy and Afaf are so talented and I was honored to be their makeup artist.
Here are some pictures as well as the video I put together:
