While out in Seattle, I did an amazing, incredible and dreamy shoot of the newest collection with photographer Amanda Paredes.  Lots of images to come.  Here’s a sneak peek from the sidelines.

The ODD LOVE show in Seattle was a blast!  14 lovely models celebrated what Summer is all about.

Thanks to all of the businesses who collaborated to make this event possible!

One week to go until the Spring/Summer collection show in Seattle.

Loving the new organic garment tags.  Grown in the USA!

Show details below…

Please join us on May 4th in Capitol Hill (Seattle) for a preview of my Spring/Summer collection!

My Spring show will be held at the classically gorgeous Century Ballroom in Seattle.

Mark your calendar for May 4th!

Details forthcoming.

I was very thrilled to be voted the People’s Choice Winner at the Finale of CFW  - an incredible honor and a great way to end the week.  I was brought back to the finale at the last moment as a ‘save’ from the judges, rounding out the final contenders to 5.  (This was another great honor as there were 19 other fantastic designers in the competition.)  A wonderful end to a whirlwind week.   Now on to Seattle in less than a month for my Spring show! Send coffee and thread.

An incredible, incredible week comes to a close.  Millions of photos to come.

My creative and personal headquarters are now in NY!

Just finished and packed up my collection for CFW.  Can’t wait to show this work!

The insects made the Cincinnati news!

My Watercolor Skirt was featured in a pretty spread over at Pure Green Magazine.

Which is worth checking out in general.  And boy, is that an outfit.

My studio has been transitioned from sculpture to fashion and I’m ready to get to work on my next collection of clothing.

I’ll be making 100 pieces to take out to NuBe Green in Seattle for a show in April.  But, first, I’ll swing by Charleston, SC

to compete in the Charleston Fashion Week Emerging Designer Competition along with 20 other designers.

This collection I’ll be experimenting with hand knotting yarns, natural dyes, dye removal processes, and of course hand stitching.

Just home from installing the show at The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center in Kentucky.  The space is incredible – over 100 years old – with amazing details and architecture. The insects are in a bright, intimate space that perfectly fits the work.  It was a whirlwind few days. On top of installing the show, I also did tons of thrifting in Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee to collect materials for the next STATE collection which I’ll be starting…  now…  or maybe tomorrow… Let’s be honest.

I hit the road for Kentucky earrrrrly tomorrow morning for two days of installation at The Carnegie Arts Center.

I photographed the dome pieces before I packed them up today.

Exciting to have it all come together.

See the rest on my SCULPTURE page.

I was asked to contribute to Seattle Met’s Style Resolution list for 2012.  Here’s what I vowed:

See all the resolutions from Seattle’s most stylish here.

The newest STATE pieces are up in the NuBe Green online shop!

Getting my ducks in a row to install this next show in Kentucky.

These gorgeous (and giant!) domes were my Christmas present to myself.

They’ll become homes for my most three-dimensional insects.

Very excited to say I’m showing in the 2012 Emerging Designer Competition at Charleston Fashion Week.

Looks like I’m in some pretty good company.

Been working away on my pieces for this January show.

Along with 27 new insects, I’m recreating my studio and tools out of hair.
