Fashion sketching was my favorite class in design school. My teacher Ms Reigelman would make the tiniest changes to my drawings: define a jaw, round an eye, bring the lips closer to the nose, making the figure a touch more beautiful.✨

All those little changes would make the biggest difference. Not only was her eye for the tiny adjustments impressive, but the idea of how the tiny changes made the drawing infinitely better sticks with me today- in sketching, sewing, and in general.

Having the experience after years and years of trial and error to be aware of what needs changed and how to change it is something I think about every time I sketch.

Ms Reigleman passed away the year after I had her as a teacher, but her impression on me still sticks. And so does the little changes she made to some of these sketches from design school days. Swipe right to see if you can spot her lasting touch☺️

My inspo board is taking a sun bath this AM 🙌🏼

People say LA doesn’t have all four season, but I can see the change in the way the sunlight hits slightly lower, the crisper morning air, and a much clearer morning sky. There’s certainly a buzz in the air with school back in session, football Sundays, and anticipation of the holiday season. I love October in Los Angeles.💛

The change of season means for me (and you!) a new collection coming soon🙃 F/W 2023 collection is right around the corner.🍂

What subtle changes do you notice in your area during the change in the season? Drop your thoughts in the comments🫶🏼

A lesson I learned very quickly when I entered the adult world, post-college with my Fashion Merchandising degree in hand: the fashion world is not glamorous 95% of the time. Surprise! 🥳

Much of my work day is spent laboring over ironing, cutting, and sewing mockups, covered in threads and fuzz from fabric for that final fulfilling feeling when I get to see a design come together, which sometimes takes days, weeks, and - with bespoke orders - months to finalize.

Some of my favorite moments in the studio are seeing a final design completed on the dress form. It’s worth enduring the non-glamorous, tireless effort that goes into each piece.

There’s so much beauty in enduring the hardships of our calling even if I might not see it while untangling an improperly threaded sewing machine or cleaning a stain out of a half finished silk dress.😅

Can anyone else relate with what they love/feel called to do? Let me know in the comments 🫶🏼

My top 3 favorite styles currently available to shop!:

1. Grace Dress - Made from flouncy hot pink bamboo knit jersey, this relaxed, yet stylish piece is one of my favorites because of its plush material paired with the sultry yet sophisticated silhouette. I only have enough fabric to make one size small or x-small left!🌺

2. Hailey Dress - The perfect everyday dress! Her elegant and minimal design makes her the perfect dress to transition from Spring/Summer to Fall/Winter. I swear I wear this dress once a week.🫣

3. Reagan Dress - Throw this oversized babydoll dress on for an effortlessly playful, fun look cut from premium Ponte di Roma knit fabric that stretches with the way you move. Nothing says comfort and style like this luxurious, laid-back look.💅🏼

To customize the fabric for the Hailey and Reagan dresses, check out the color chart! Send me a message if you’re interested, and shop these favorite styles today.🫶🏼
