…and so my collection was created: An International Bazaar! By Carrie Coyle * Information gathered from Fashion Snoops and Style.com Unlike the way in which many designers develop their collections, by creating a product line around a theme or concept, the concept for my collection was created around the items that I found on my shopping trips to Goodwill. An organic convergence of ideas, I began my hunt by selecting items that I was magnetized to- the southwestern, African, and South American prints, the subtle beauty of aged ivory lace blinds. I love how all the patterns play together to [...]

What an experience this has been so far!

Some of my earliest memories are of being in a dark theatre with my mom watching Molly Brown be unsinkable or guys finding their dolls. At an early age I knew I wanted to be an actress. My first role was Kanga, in my kindergarten play "Winnie the Pooh" and let me tell you- I memorized every line. No, not just mine, I memorized the entire show! [...]

We had a photo shoot in early December to showcase our first completed outfit. Big thanks to Pamela with Leon's Style Salon for the awesome hair & make-up look she created for my model! I’m so pleased with the first outfit! The skirt was made from a dress I found at Goodwill (of course!). Because Torey Searcy Photography of the way I cut the pattern pieces, there is a button in one of the skirt pockets that used to be on the dress sleeve. I love these unexpected surprises, which result in truly unique pieces. I also used a [...]
