Pre-Fall 2010

Something very cool... 

In response to counterfeiters knocking off their legendary patterns, Missoni will be releasing four capsule collections.  The first to be released is Pre-Fall.

Something Ugh...

Chanel Paris-Shanghai. I'm over Chanel in general these days and the Shanghai inspiration is sooo obvious. 

WHY?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE! 

Love, Jill and Team WOOF!

Holiday Trend!

HEADBANDS! These are everywhere this season! I like these satin and crystal headbands by Cara Couture sold at Henri Bendel. They make a statement without overdoing it...
ALSO... Here are designer Christian Siriano's 7 Holiday Style Tips posted on StyleCaster.com

STUDS!!!

Right now I am really into STUDS!... well more like studding (or BeDazzling). I bought a hand press from allstarco over the summer and I am addicted. I started BeDazzling while interning at Christian Joy. We put THOUSANDS of studs on costumes for Karen O, including an awesome biker jacket she wore on tour! I really like to stud leather and have been making cuffs for my friends. Studs are a really great way to jazz up an outfit!

DOGGY CLOTHES

On my free time I like to make dog clothes. Recently I put my dog dresses for sale on Etsy. Soon there will be hoodies, T-shirts and costumes available!  I also have 2 live-in models. I have a chihuahua-terrier mix named Dutchie. She is a cute little girl dog and LOVES to wear my dresses. Buddy is my newest dog. He is a yorkie mix with 3 legs and a bad attitude!

Pratt Senior Thesis Show

HELLO! This is my first blog post ever! I usually would make fun of this type of thing, but I'm giving in to the hype... I'd like to start by catching up on what I've been up to.

To complete my journey at the Pratt Institute I participated in the year end senior show. The fashion show honoree was Ralph Rucci who gave a heartfelt presentation about his career, inspiration etc... The audience consisted of people from the industry including Fashion Week creator Fern Mallis (cool). Aside from the stress, and lack of sleep, the show was a great experience.
