Design – Page 11 – Goodwill Rock The Runway

Lights, Camera, Action!

So time seems to be flying, and the Goodwill Rock The Runway show is on the horizon! Are you excited? I certainly am! Designing and recreating garments for this show has birthed a whole new sense of creativity in my basket of ideas for my collection! Here's a video that I found on the web that captures the energy and very essence of my Harlem Renaissance/ Harlem Nights theme. I 'm not only inspired by the video, but I'm even more excited about presenting a collection that begs for your "oohs and ahhs!" I hope you've bought your [...]

Shower(Curtain Call)! – Designer Cleo Faucette

When I embarked on this adventure with the goodwill show, I had no idea how creative things would get. I searched and searched until I found the perfect items to display some of the ideas circling in my mind. At one of the good will locations I found several shower curtains, yes I said SHOWER CURTAINS! This is the picture of the first shower curtain I came across. I thought it was just a beautiful fabric and new right away that I wanted to make a long maxi dress with this shower curtain. So, I laid the material out trying [...]

How did I get here?

For me, timing has always been an irregular phenomenon. When I first applied to be a designer for the Goodwill Triad fashion show, I felt I had proved myself to be accountable and worthy to rock the runway. However, my timing was just a bit off. I realized I couldn't even be considered to be a designer for the show because I had not submitted my application in on time. I was discouraged and decided to let it go because, at that time, nothing could change my situation. Four months later, I receive an email from a fellow student, leader [...]

Transition to Fall with Summer Dresses/Skirts in tow!!

At the beginning of every fall season, I take a look at my summer wear to decide what I can carry over for Fall. I have been doing this process for as long as I can remember. When I shop for summer clothes, I keep in mind "Is this something that can have a dual purpose?" I am a true believer in stretching clothing into the next season whenever possible. For example, I took my favorite beach cover, a long sleeve shirt and a great pair of jeans to wear into the fall. [...]
