I ask you. These are all the pins I have left. Not even enough to pin up a blind hem on an A-Line Skirt. It is the mystery of sewing...
Oh well, off to the store.

the look
dressy utilitarian
my concept
useful, economical, modular pieces that can be mix-matched in numerous
ways (because why can't fashion be useful and lasting? I think
it can!) So I say Maximize your Minimalism!

inspiration
furniture (especially chairs from the 50s and 60s), uniforms, repeating patterns, menswear, Oscar Niemeyer,
traditional Japanese architecture, the Rimpa School and Ogata Korin's 8-Point Bridge, Matisse, bromeliads,
succulents and other waxy flora
particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic,
low-resolution images, the photo copier, off-registration prints, Max
Ernst's Lunar Asparagus, NYC fire call boxes that look like Kannon, Fauvist color sense, the Noguchi Museum,
pretty much all of Abstract Expressionism
magazines of current

Domino, Elle Decor (British), ARTnews, Art in America, Wallpaper
favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

Which brings me to ask you something I've been curious about, do you sew all your garments yourself? Or do you outsource some of the work the work and do the finishing?
Dear Anonymous,
Sheesh it sounds so ominous, doesn't it? Yes I do know how to sew, and love it. I fascinated with all sculptural and geometry-based puzzles associated with garment construction. As such I am in charge of all the designing, patternwork and sample-making. And have help on the sewing front too. Next time reveal yourself, we want to meet you.
Don't you hate when you have a typo in your comment? I do.
correction: I am fascinated with all sculptural and geometry-based puzzles associated with garment construction.
just another note from elaine...
Actually I did try to meet you while you were still living in Boston, but we couldn't get it together. You may remember that I too took a class with Joel Upton. I really enjoy the blog btw.
So nice of you to write again! I must admit, the anonymous weirds me out... Glad to put a face with the writing. Joel Upton! One of my absolute favorite professors. I still think about all of his concepts to this day. We must chat more, apart from this blog.
