Style {re}claimed!

Designer Carrie Coyle Style {re}claimed! I’ve been so busy working on the styles for the show, and also with my side business, Cecile. In case you weren’t aware, thrifting and upcycling are what the cool kids are into. In fact, in most of the hippest cities around the globe, such as my dear Brooklyn, NYC, you can’t walk down the street without passing the next coolest consignment and/or Vintage store. Now, you may be into the idea but not sure how to wear the clothes. Let me take you through some “thrifting” 101; first stop, my local Goodwill store! 1. [...]

. . One day, before I went to bed, an idea popped up in my mind… I stayed up and got my sketch done in couple minutes, a strapless dress with lovely purple tone, a flare silhouette, and a horizontal zigzag neckline created by the shape of the ties. I couldn’t sleep, tried to visualize my way to construct the garment. The next day, I went to shop at Goodwill. If I couldn’t find any dress in purple, that meant I had to change my original sketch. After two hours searching in all the sections, I found two dresses that [...]

…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! I remember a thought that I had on my way to the second photo shoot for the show, early one Saturday morning: “Though it may be super early, I’m driving this morning to do something I’ve always dreamed about.” Then I got kind of emotional. But seriously, it’s very rare that you get a shot to show the world your vision and talent. Like I said, I’ve always wanted to be doing something great with the gift God gave me and hopefully Rock the Runway will be an awesome starting point. Over [...]
