two years ago in january i was ready to give up on new york city. it was just like it is now; dead of winter, cold and dark. i just wanted a change. so i applied to my dream job back in my hometown of Philadelphia. i worked so hard on my application project and was devistated when i did not get the job. but i have always loved that collection that i designed. it was the best work i have done to date. 

and here i am on this cold winter day wanting to be reminded of something warm and bright. so i want to share that project with you. hopefully it will warm you up too.

inspiration

i have always loved the american southwest...
i want to see the landscapes that inspired Georgia O'Keeffe...

my father bought this coat in Santa Fe, New Mexico when he was 25 years old...
it inspired this journey...

i bought this old prom dress at the Salvation Army in Hobbs...i added the belt.
