If you know me, you know how exciting it was for me to put thrift store clothes and seconds-from-the-grave candy apple platforms on a recent Harper’s BAZAAR cover model. Have you ever felt preemptively intimidated by a 16 year old before?
Yeeeah, I mean …me neither…
I could also mention that this editorial was thrown together in less than 24 hours, but I won’t. The inspirations ranged from “punk” and “tomboy” to “feminine 1940s-60s silhouettes,” with sources from American Apparel to St. Vincent de Paul… all with a decidedly juicy color pallette. Our team was perfection and we had a blast.

I love your website! I have some girls who model for me, and I generally use goodwill as my place for choosing their outfits. It’s a great place to create fashion at a cheap price

That’s pretty cool. The atmosphere of the photo is lovely. I love the sleek and bright look. Much creativity, clothes are beautiful, really inspires me to be more adventurous with bright colors. Look amazing and gives sufficient. Your work is very good and I appreciate your work.
Alright. I am officially a fan. I have been browsing around for my graduation dress and I am getting tired of lace and polka dots. Day to day, I am also getting tired of toms and so-called ‘vintage’, ‘feminine’ zoe deschannel-inspired look. Your command of colors is definitely refreshing! What an inspiration!
