Debut 2009

I had the wonderful opportunity of being chosen for a Cotton Incorporated competition called Chairing Styles. I designed the textile print for a fabric that was then used by a fashion designer to create a gown for Barbie and an interior designer who created a chair. We all got to walk the runway with our designs at FIDM's Debut 2009. It was a great experience and I am really proud of my design. Feel free to watch a video of the show on FIDM's website.

Trend Watch

A new trend to watch out for in the apparel and interior industry is tartan plaid! It's coming back in so many forms, from wallpaper to purses. Keep your eye out for fresh modern versions of this timeless pattern. It looks like one of my favorite site The Nest is right on point with the trend as seen in the picture above which was taken from their website. Also a hot color for the fall 2009 season is steel blue-gray. You will see it paired up with vibrant violets and navy blues.
