THREADS presents "Under the Influence: Art, Music & Cinema in Fashion"

Photos and designs were featured in the NewsObserver.com

These pictures above are my designs I've completed for the THREADS annual fashion show from this past Friday and the theme this year is "Under the Influence: Art, Music & Cinema in fashion". The show was such a success and I'm so proud of everyone who've contributed and made the show possible. I've spent sleepless nights working on some of these designs so I was so happy to see it done. Seeing the models wearing these garments on the runway is always priceless. My outfits were featured in both the News Observer and Charlotte Observer.

These are a combination of photos throughout the week. I really enjoyed taking photos of Leah that day. The lighting was perfect and her outfit is incredible isn't it? She found her dress at a vintage shop at the beach and promise to drag me along the next time she goes! She is such a sweetheart and a great person to be around.

P.S. I already have 2 projects assigned. One for my Design II class and the other for Apparel III so please excuse me if I do not update as often. To the ones who are still in school, hope you all are enjoying your classes for this semester!

Judy Pfaff is such a phenomenal artist! On Thursday, Leah and I went to a lecture by Judy Pfaff at the Weatherspoon Art Museum. If you have the opportunity, I would greatly recommend you to visit the Falk Gallery. Seeing the artist, hearing her story, and witnessing all of her work over the years left me in awe. I am mostly intrigued by her instillations. She incorporates the characteristics of sculpture, painting, and architecture to form dynamic works. After her lecture, I felt so inspired in a way I haven't felt before. It's an incredible feeling. I am determine to incorporate this kind of work into my designs for the fashion show this coming Spring. I can't wait to get working on them, if time permits me to!
