Inspiration For Spring 2012.

My $12 dollar outfit. No joke… Minus the shoes and purse. But if you’d like to know shoes are Jeffrey Campbell, purse is D&B.

this isn’t the original video, but how dope does MIA’s “bad girls” track sound with this campaign?

I’m actually surprised as to how I’ve been wearing so much color lately. I really thought I was going to be stuck in my “all black everything” phase forever. Guess nothing is forever.

These are the 35mm photos from Jaydee’s graduation from the Marines. I cried. We all did.

Had a small gathering at Tim’s house last night. In honorary for Jaydees 48 hour departure back to San Diego. They were all so happy.

This is how I always wear the Sash belt from American Apparel. Since spring is coming up and all my classes have me researching all these Spring/Summer 2012 collections I decided to play with color.

     In October of last year my Marketing class had to participate in supporting The Women’s Building for their yearly event. I could tell no one wanted to be apart of the whole thing because they had no idea what the organization was all about. This event particularly focuses on women who hand make most of their goods and sell them at the trade show. It was so amazing to see a lady hand bind an actual book, and seeing the finished product at the end. Although stuff wasn’t cheap, it was really entertaining to talk to the designers of their craftsmanship. The Women’s Building is located in the Mission District of San Francisco. And it has been standing since 1971. I feel like it’s one of the most relevant things in the Mission. Mostly because this place is more than just a beautiful building but it benefits those who are in need for help. I was talking to my volunteer advisor and she had told me their next upcoming project was to help Asian American families who suffer from food care and health this upcoming spring. The building not only funds people who are desperate need of help, but they also try to make life more uplifting for women who want to feel more confident. They offer yoga, arts & crafts, zumba classes and a bunch of more workshops.

But after working this event I was definitely inspired by Theresa the lovely Greek women in the hat. Stephanie and I got stationed to work the actually women’s building booth that was located right when you walked in. While our other classmates were stationed to help the designers with assisting. Our booth featured a bunch of hand made Guatemalan goods from people of South America. It was awesome! We def got a bunch of sweet goodies.

This is Andrew Agutos. He’s an artist and a jewelry designer. I met him last year when Amanda and I did the Spring lookbook for Dream Droop. I find him to be really inspiring because not a lot of people take risks with going to an art school and choosing a major like painting for his profession. Design is a really complicated thing to do and learn, it’s basically creating something and turning it into a visual with your own concept. After skipping class to shoot these photos of him, we talked fashion and upcoming plans for the future.

When design students come together you create art that will last an eternity.
