#FlashBackFriday

I still remember coming home from second grade, turning on the television and waiting for Clarissa Explains it All to come on. I cant really remember the specifics of the show but i do remember it was one of my favorites. Clarissa was my muse. Everything she wore was so cool and colorful and pretty. I think she probably invented the word "hipster" before it was even a thing. Clarissa wore so many patterns in one outfit it was kind of confusing but still so intriguing at the same time. Besides her wardrobe she seriously had one of the coolest rooms ever! Everything in her room I wanted. From the sign on her door to the bed sheets and her carpet. I tip my hat off to you Clarissa, for your wardrobe will live on forever in 90's children heaven.

Going Green Avant Garde Fashion Show

   This Monday I was excited to be showcasing my work at the annual Avant Garde Going Green Gowns Exhibition during Fashion Week San Antonio. The Avant Garde fashion show gives designers of all levels the opportunity to showcase an original design made of recycled, reused or re-purposed materials. In my opinion the purpose of the fashion show is to showcase something dramatic and out of the ordinary to show that fashion can be made up of just about anything you can imagine.
    My design was made of the silver lining inside of ordinary chip bags, mostly Funnyons (my favorite), duct tape, paper and glue. I wanted my deign to look fierce and I wanted my model to look strong and tough. My overall inspiration was medieval knights and their armor. I wanted my design to be over the top representation of knight.
    The fashion show was filled with very talented designers, most of them still in high school! I was impressed and honestly very relieved that so many young people in this city are taking advantage of the fashion opportunities that are being presented to them.San Antonio is not the most fashionable city, but the fashion scene is quickly growing. I'm excited to so what comes next and excited for next years San Antonio Fashion Week.

My Design:  "Medeival Metal"
