LabelHorde Website Update

The LabelHorde website is set to "soft launch" on October 13th. We are looking for local fashion businesses (designers, photographers, stylists, boutiques, etc...) who are willing to do some testing for us. If you are interested, please email me and I will let you know when we are ready.

We are also having our first team meeting for Labelhorde on October 13th at 6:30pm. WANT TO JOIN OUR TEAM? EMAIL ME YOUR RESUME and I'll send you details. If you are passionate about local fashion, this is the time to get in on the ground floor so you can grow with us.

LabelHorde will provide a directory for Arizona's fashion industry so all of these emerging designers, stylists, models, seamstresses, manufacturers can find each other. We will also be providing an events calendar, job postings and important resources/educational tools. There is a huge need for this because our local industry is growing quickly. After our AZ directory is filled, we will move on to expand to cities all over the nation that need this service.

Positions are voluntary right now, but everyone can make commission on ad sales. You also get a free ad and upgraded listing for your business on LabelHorde.com

Hooray for Boobs!

I was recently approached to make a dress for Kimberly Erev, a friend and former FIDM colleague of mine, to wear in the Phoenix Fashion Week Fashionably Pink Fashion Show. I was provided with over 80 shirts from her loving friends and various breast cancer organizations. Kim kept referring to me as her Fairy Godmother on social media and she didn't even know that in my Artist's Statement I refer to "Giving T-shirts the Cinderella Treatment". So, when she showed up for her fitting with a broken shoe, we ran with the reference throughout the whole experience. You can read more about it (and see all of the photos, including one of the giant pink ribbon I made out of T-shirts that embraced her on the runway) on my website blog.

Phoenix Fashion Week LBD Competition

I'm entering the Little Black Dress contest for Phoenix Fashion Week and won 2nd place and $500! Here is the sketch I submitted which placed me as one of the finalists. And here is a photo of the actual dress I made. This dress style is now available on my website to order with your choice of color, size and T-shirt logo theme...or provide your own shirts.

La Mode Collins College Sr. Fashion Show Wrap Up

I had the pleasure of coordinating the La Mode Collins College Senior Fashion Show recently. The students did an amazing job. To see photos taken by photographer Jonathan Puente, click here.
