My Heutchy Collaboration Part 2

Hey friends!
Well I'm excited to finally show you the Collaboration i did with Heutchy Shoes.
Heutchy shoes is one of my all time favorite men's shoe company.
I think they make the best shoes.
So needless to say, i was honored to design fabric for another pair of shoes.
They were looking for a very bright saturated abstract texture of the print.
I played around with a few ideas and this neon leaves idea was what i finally came up with.
I really like how they turned out :)
I still haven't seen them in person, but i'm dying to!
What do you think?
I hope you like them! :)

My Collaboration With W Hotels for Fashion's Night Out

Hey Friends!
So I'm excited to announce my Collaboration with the W Hotels for Fashion's Night Out!
A little bit ago, I was asked to design Limited Edition totes for the W Hotels.
Since it's Spring Fashion Week, I wanted the art to feel like spring.
So my theme was "It's Spring~Love is in the Air"
Then I had a concept of "Couple Bags".
Basically, I designed the guy's bag in the vain of the girl's bag,
so the bags would look like a matching set,
if that makes sense?

Also, the W is going to have a Fashion Night Out event that i'm a part of!
It's on Sept. 10 at the W in Times Square from 5 to 8pm.
If you want more info there is info up Here.
Well my friends, i hope you like it! :)

My Line with Forever21 is out Today! :)

(Images Via Forever 21 & The Skinny)

Hey Friends, how are you doing today?
How was your weekend?
And for you who live in the U.S. how was your extended weekend?
Haha mine was pretty long...
But I am really happy to say my Collaboration Line with Forever 21 is in stores today.
I still haven't seen them in real life, but I can't wait to!
It's funny how life kinda comes back around on you, huh?
I mean when I was 13 I started a little tee shirt company,
and I sold them to my friends and kids at school.
I never really thought I would kind of be doing that again.
But now sitting here and looking at all the shirts & tanks together,
I'm fully having flashbacks! haah :)

As for the art work, 5 of the shirts are from my Blogger Portrait Series,
which I started almost 2 years ago...(wow can't believe it was that long ago.. hah)
It's been fun to share the opportunity with my friends,
Carolina Engman (FashionSquad), Geri Hirsch (Because I'm Addicted), Agathe Molvik (Style Bytes), Alice (AlicePoint), and Louise Ebel (Miss Pandora).
I think one of the most amazing things about the internet is that
people from all over the world can collaborate, and inspire each other daily... so amazing!
Well, I really hope you like the Collection!
You can Check it out Here at Forerver21 :)

P.S. On a side note I know back when I posted my portrait of Agathe she was finished with blogging,
and I couldn't get a hold of her. Since then i have talked with her and she is doing great. She is an amazing person ;)

P.S.S. Thank you so much WWD for the Article :)

A Sneak Peek of what's coming....

Hey Friends!
Well, I have some fun things for you today!
This is only half of my Shirt Collection for Forever21 ...
To my surprise Teen Vogue & Refinery29 Posted a few images of the Tee's
so i thought i would post them for you too. ;)
I'm so excited for you to see all the shirts,
and excited for them to be in the stores.
But you know what is by far my favorite thing about this collaboration?
I get to share it with my friends!
Looking at the shirts on Teen Vogue today it hit me,
I was like "oh my gosh that's Geri Hirsch, Louise Ebel, & Carolina Engman all on Forever21 shirts!"
Haha its so awesome!
I think the friendships i've made blogging are the best rewards ever!
Oh, and there are a few more friends on the other shirts...
So excited for you to see! ;)
Hope you like them.

P.S thanks Teen Vogue and Refinery 29 your amazing, i love you both! :)

Heutchy Shoe Collaboration

Hi Friends! How are you doing?
Sorry for the few days delay on my posting...
It's been a crazy week, i've been working a lot,
and some exciting things are in the works ;)
Yesterday, I was featured In the incredible Women's Wear Daily!
It was an extreme honor and the lovely Miss Patty Huntington wrote an amazing article.
If you haven't read it & want to, Click Here to check it out. :)

Also, yesterday in the mail, my Heutchy Collaboration shoes arrived!!!
Heutchy is an amazing men's shoe line.
A few months back, Heutchy asked me to collaborate on a fabric.
After throwing around a few ideas,
we decided that it could be interesting to make a fabric print out of a building top texture.
so i ended up painting the the image above.
Then is was digitally printed on leather.
I really like how the fabric and the shoes turned out. :)
Thank you, Lowe! The shoes are amazing!
Whatcha think?
I hope you like them! :)
