My first runway show as a designer

Описание: Read about the even below and head over to COTTONANDCURLS.COM and   / cottonandcurls   for pictures!

This was my first time I have ever designed something outside of my DIYs and definitely outside of my comfort zone. I was given the year 1999 to design for and instantly the things that popped into my head were PINK, stars, glitter, Spice girls, buns and all those fun preteen things I loved. So hence, I designed a modernized baby spice ballerina...which was me...1999... 6th and 7th grade. The sweater was actually refashioned from 2 sweaters to make an asymmetrical twisted feel with a side asian inspired (thank you 1999) tie. The dress is a very sheer skin tone pink (1o yards of it!) with hand sewn silver star sequins - yes quite the nod to the innocent tween days. I was going to go full sheer dress.....but didn't have the guts and threw together this sweater. If I had known about all the black mesh, pasties, bondage incorporated into other deisgns, I would have been a little more fearless. But, ehhhh, it was my first design to be seen on a runway. In the end I was happy with it, It portrayed was 1999 was to me. But, I would definitely do things differently the next time around. I wouldn't hold back.
