SKELETON STUDIES:
Before one can successfully draw a proportional human figure, one must study the structure of the frame beneath the figure...the skeleton. Various hand-drawn studies are shown, using both charcoal and micron pen on tracing paper.
PSYCHEDELIC PANTS:
These cotton, psychedelic paisley pants were machine sewn, featuring a fly zipper, functional rear pockets, and a fitted waistband. Inspired by the “festival wear� lines popping up at trendy online shops such as American Apparel, Missguided, and Henri Bendel; these pants were created for a young, free-spirited woman who wants to look fashionable at Bonnaroo or Coachella.
CONCEPTUAL SKETCHES: Various manipulations of a woman’s blouse using micron pen and tracing paper over croquis.

A FUTURISTIC FLAIR Disco metallics shine bright this season, in both classic and experimental silhouettes. This trend is taking off like a rocketship, from high-end couture to everyday looks. The fashion of tomorrow really shines through in this original look, as designers stray away from vintage inspired garments.

#trendingtopics With innovative technology on the rampage, men are connected to the world at a constant. Social media, networking, and entertainment are always on hand through smart phones and tablets, and as a result men are being exposed to fashion like never before. They can see what celebrities, professional athletes, icons, and other guys are doing and wearing through facebook, twitter, and instagram. They have easy access to celebrity photos, trend updates, and influential events through apps for magazines and websites such as Esquire, Huffington Post, Playboy, and Vice. The music industry has historically had a huge impact on men’s fashion choices, and these technologies have just made that impact stronger. Through Itunes, Pandora, Spotify, and Grooveshark, men can easily explore new music, bands, artists, album art, venues, and upcoming concerts. Because of this never-ending exposure to the fashion world, men are beginning to experiment with fashion. In fall/winter 2014, men will be wearing bold prints, pops of bright color with their classic sartorial khaki, gray, and navy blue ensembles. They will be fashion conscious everywhere-from the bedroom to the beach to the gym, and matching lots of loud accessories to their outfits.

Fall/winter 2014 will see men playing with prints, patterns, colors, textures, and materials like an Xbox 360. As they explore fashion, they will explore all these aspects of it and experiment profusely. Look out for classic ensembles spruced up with a bold accent-khakis and a sweater with a leapord print scarf, or an ikat tailored suit.
