Today the FDCC sent me an information package for designers with tons of stuff. Too busy sewing to read it right now, though. I worked on so many fashion shows before that I know what I’m doing.

First L’Oréal Fashion Week press release for Fall/Winter 2008. This time around, Robin gave it the tagline, “Wear in the World!” (exclamation point included).
Where in the world indeed. Apparently we will be treated to designs from Russia, Milan, Paris, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Before any Canadian designers are mentioned on the press release, I was told […]

I’m bringing knickers back! Gold lamé knickers have never looked hotter. Just made a matching bustier and knicker set that I wanna wear NOW! No…must refrain and save it for the show. Geez… it’s so hard to keep a secret.

Gawd… so hungover. Sometimes I’m glad my studio is a big, black box and today is one of those days. Sunlight would really kill me. But Holy Fuck! Was last night worth the 6 Jager-shot hangover. I found the rock. I found the roll. I had a vision of rock ‘n roll crossed with classic […]

I can’t believe it! I got accepted to show at Fashion Week! Ohmigod! Me!!!! I’ve been waiting for this my entire life! I wonder if Jeanne Beker and Lucinda McRuvy will be at my show?
I guess I should probably start on my collection.
Maybe it can wait until tomorrow. I need to celebrate. I heard Andrew […]

Blogs will ruin my journalism career.
Andrew Sardone over at NOW Magazine posted the list of confirmed designers to show at L’Oréal Fashion Week before I even heard back from my editor about printing an “I Hear…” rumour. When will magazines catch up with the Internet? I never thought that writing for a fashion magazine would […]
