the 50 dollar bill event and my design for it


Absolute Beginners is having the 50 dollar bill event this Friday. I can't show you what will be on sale but I can give you a preview sketch... Make sure to be there from 7-11 to see the real thing.

New Store!



I am selling in Absolute Beginners now 616 East 9th, a store that I played some part in starting. It's been a fun venture so far and there are a lot of amazing designers involved in this projects so I would advise everyone to stop by and watch this shop evolve. This is a picture of the brand new storefront taken the day after Alex, Isabella and Michael spent all night building it.

The History of Draping


Anne Hollander gives examples of draping in Rome and 17th century Holland. The draping patterns in ancient Rome were the main source of style.
