Six Different Looks with One Shirt – Designer Pang Chang

During one of my Goodwill shopping trip I found this beautiful shirt in extra-large. Although I haven’t decided how to redesign it, another idea came along… “How many looks can I recreate with this shirt?” One Shoulder Sleeve Dress Thanks to safety pins, all I did here was pull back the extra sleeve and secured it. Strapless Dress with Cute Bow I simply tied a bow/knot on the back, which can also be done on the front. Strapless Twisted Sleeve Dress Twist the sleeves and tuck the ends away. Skirt Who said [...]

“Blu’s Bling” – Designer Uvana Doran

I found a beautifully sequined two-piece set I call the “grandma of the bride” outfit on my very first Goodwill shopping extravaganza. I know..I know.. you're thinking sequins?? really? ..Yes!

After swatching all of the fabrics from the clothes I bought that day (see previous blog), the electric blue and the sequins seemed to almost instantaneously beg to be a pair! As I began sketching with the theme “Harlem Nights” in mind, [...]

Cleo Faucette – Butterflies

The last few weeks have been so amazing, creativity is over flowing right now. I have visited several of the Goodwill locations and have been very lucky to find lots of things to start this journey. I have also met and spoken with people who have known me in a professional setting, they had no idea that my true passion is designing clothes. They have had one main question and it's "how do you think of this stuff?" So with that in mind, I decided to show one of my sources of inspiration. I must admit that I can find [...]
