Jessica Perry: From Something to Something New

From Something to Something New Doing my initial Goodwill item haul was very exciting. I had so much fun picking out items for my collection. I was very surprised to find items that fit exactly into my vision. I found a ton of neutral-colored items that happened to be loose fitting. The best things that I picked up weren’t even articles of clothing. Things such as pillow cases, curtains and pillow shams immediately caught my eye and I just HAD to buy them. I must say that finding so many items that fit my vision made me even [...]

Drew Waller: Military Influence in Fashion

Skirt from Triad Goodwill. What will it become? I tried to go shopping with an idea in mind, but I was not sure of what I would find. My idea was to incorporate a military influence into today’s fashion with a contrast of denim. I unexpectedly found multiple things that fit into this idea so luckily I did not have to change my idea. After I found these items I figured out what I wanted to do with them and that, surprisingly, was not hard at all. The hardest part is putting all my ideas into an outfit. [...]

Sanja Grgic: Becoming a Fashion Designer

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is something in the air. It’s the wind that blows in the new fashion; you feel it coming, you smell it, in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with the ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” We can only begin to describe fashion design work with this famous quote by famous fashion designer Coco Chanel, a woman who continues to be my inspiration in the fashion world. This desirably rewarding career is creative. Transforming ideas into something wearable has many different aspects in fulfilling itself. [...]

Michelle Teague: About Myself

Designs by Michelle Teague I have a background in art. I also come from a few generations of artists and generally crafty people. This reflects greatly in my work. Each garment or collection should evoke a feeling much like art. I am often inspired by fairytales, mythology, and my childhood spent playing in the forest behind my home. My favorite materials to work with are sheers, silk, tulle, and lace. Movement in the material I use greatly affect the “mood” of the gown. I love to layer as much as possible and use everything I have sitting [...]
