Fashion Week GWHS Style


I'm putting the Fall 2011 shows up with the projector tomorrow in fashion class. I like to try and make the room feel like fashion week and I hand out little note pads so the kids feel like they're front row celebrities. I loved Jason Wu's collections almost as much as I loved the fact that he was inspired by brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes. Seriously, who wouldn't be. I love her work with all of its color and life. You just want to live in it! Wu wu!

Kangaroos and Girl Scouts...always prepared

I wish someone had calculated the amount of time I spent traveling from drawing tables to my desk and back again last year. I had great calves by the time June rolled around. Even so, I felt it important to improve efficiency and the only way I know how to do anything is through fashion. I took apart my sister's old waitress apron to make a pattern.
Cleared some space off of ye olde craft table.
And used some Amy Butler (swoon) fabric to create a little kangaroo pouch. One pouch for scissors, one for pencils and one for hall passes. It makes me really "get" fanny packs. Sorta.

Love
Jes

Swoon Fest 2010

I think I need a pill whenever I see a new beautiful hair fascinator like the one from ban.do above. I can't even get a hold of myself. This model's hair is just perfect too. I really want to be her and have beautiful red hair too! (Until I harken back to the red hair incident of 1998 wherein a box of red hair dye truly got the best of me.)
I love the idea of wearing a huge one on my lapel and I'm totally obsessing over emerson made lately and wishing I could afford one. Maybe someday.
And of course, there's the mighty Vinny and Vernelle, made by the beautiful Jessie out of antique millinery flowers. She made all of the hair doodles for me and my bridesmaids! Love her.
Last but not least are the fabric corsages that my high school fashion students made this spring. They were obsessed with this project and I saw them wearing them all over school. Some students that I didn't even know came to see me for private lessons on the art of fabric flowers. Loved it!

Love you too!
