set your minds free

Wednesday, October 7, 2009
I've been quite the busy college student this past week---so busy that I haven't been able to blog.  In my Fashion Visuals class we are making a clothing line made from plain white 100% cotton t-shirts.   My group's line is called "Criminal".  Our look is 1990s Seattle Grunge/ street urban chic.  Imagine chains, studs, black, and bursts of dark color.  We dyed our shirts a dark grey and some reds, splashed bleach on some pieces and now we are sewing away.  Instead of making a shirt we are making dresses.  We purchased men's XL v-necks from Walmart and we are cinching the waists.  It is such an exciting project and it is really coming together!  On top of our company's lines, we are also making one personal piece which reflects us and our own style.  My dress could probably be described as "gothic and distressed baby doll".  It features black lace, a ribbony trim, along with a hint of sequins and elastic-drawn waist.  I will be sure to post pictures once we are in the final stages!  Our teacher will be choosing designs to be sold at a store outside of Kent, Ohio.  We will get the profits.  I am so excited to show you our creations!  Stay tuned!
