3-D Origami Collection

For those of you that didn’t know..I am still in school! But as I finish my degree, I work on personal collections. For my Senior Collection I decided to do something very different. For my inspiration I focused on stripes and the way they are portrayed on something. The way it gives a 3-d look. Here is what I was thinking about…






I love the way the stripes on something make it look so 3-d. So this is what I wanted to put into my work. Yea it seems hard right? How am I going to make something 3-d out of clothes. You can do anything with clothes so I was definitely ready to figure it out. I know origmai is one way I can get the look I wanted so Youtube was a great way to try and figure things out. It was kind of just like making the original pattern and taking the pattern and simply reconstructing it to add the look that I wanted…YES THE PATTERNS TOOK A LOT OF TIME! But I will show you the progress so far. After I get everything finished I will make sure to post them. But here is the first one to show you where my inspiration has lead me to. Hope to hear your input.




 I'll make sure to update this post and update everyone. I have a fasion show on September 8, September 17, and September 23. And I also have a photo shoot on September 3 and September 24! So I will be very busy. I will keep you posted!!

New Blogger

I was never necessarily the one to write a diary and that’s always what I thought a blog was; a public diary that someone had to be crazy to let people (that you do not even know) into your personal thoughts. But as I became a fan of them, my views seemed to change. I like reading about what people are thinking. I actually like going through their journey with them. Especially when it is someone that you do not know, but feel as if you can relate to them in so many ways. I read fashion blogs all the time and enjoy reading about the upcoming fashion designers and hear about their trials and tribulations. I must say it does make me feel a lot better that I am not the only one going through the necessary struggles to make it in this industry. I don’t know… this just seemed necessary in SO many ways. This is my first post and I feel good writing it. I hope you all enjoy and get to know me through my thoughts and learn from me as much as I learn from you.
