Since the show I have had a couple requests for orders on these dresses, so now my next task is to figure out manufacturing hand dyed pieces. Stay tuned!

This past week I had the privilege of showing a few of my looks at Minneapolis/St.Paul Fashion Week Emerging Designer Showcase. The show was put on by Jahna Peloquin of L'etiole magazine at the Co Exhibit in NE Minneapolis. I and four other fashion designers were paired with five accessory designers to showcase our Autumn/Winter 2012 looks. The show featured designers YQY by Vivian with jewelry by KR Designs, Nicole Larson with accessories by Lefthand Originals, Gina Marie Vintage with jewelry by Camba, Caroline Hayden with jewels by Via Patina, and I paired with accessories by Vanessa Zahid. The show had a great mix of fashion, art and music by OSO and Mayda. It was a great turnout and I want to thank everyone who made it to the show. Here are my initial inspiration boards and sketches: Since the initial trend concept and sketches, I did make a couple changes. I was planning on adding piping detailing, bows and beading but after dyeing the fabric I realized there was too much going on. The color spoke for itself. What do you guys think? Here are some photos I took on my i-phone ( you can probably tell I am obsessed with instagram right now :) ) Overall I was happy with how things turned out. It was a little nerve racking dyeing my garments just days before the show but everything went well. There was a great write up in city pages on the show, check it out here.
