It’s July but my head’s swimming with ideas for the fall and winter. My inspiration for this year’s fall and winter collection comes from my memories of attending gradeschool at a private, all girls school run by nuns. And a big chunk of this experience involved wearing crisp white shirts and plaid skirts, my school uniform. Not short though, 1 inch below the knee, as the nuns would carefully measure and if you fail to comply, you would get the ruler to the hand (or was that for dirty fingernails). Actually, I’ve worn a uniform from kindergarten to my first year in college so I have a lot to draw from. I will be sharing with you bits and pieces of my progress building the upcoming collection based around this theme. What to expect? Oh…. cardigans, collars, lockets, rosaries, brooches…. even socks… I’m so excited! In the meantime, for some comic relief, here’s my senior class photo Enjoy!
