…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.

Behind the Scenes with Designer – Rachel Wilson

My History: It's no secret that I'm a theatre kid through and through. I was practically raised on the stuff! From Disney animated classics to stage plays and ballet- I love it all. 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! [...]
