In My Mother's Heels

My favourite thing about films is the costumes. It is through them that we understand the nature of the character. Whether they are rich or poor, a superhero or evil, It's all in the costumes. It's also the way we go back in time. I love classic outfits. I find them very flattering to a woman's body, and absolutely sexy. I wanted to go back in time a little bit with this outfit. Well, to be honest, I think I live there. I love how feminine women were back then.

Guilt Free Fur?

I made this faux fur vest in Autumn and I have had to think very much about whether I wanted to wear it. This was not because my conscience was not clear but because faux fur as you know is made from synthetic fibers designed to resemble real fur and one might dismiss it at first glance as real. I have comfortably worn faux fur before but my values change everyday and I am finding myself becoming a very conscious designer. If I was not a fashion designer, I would be a full time animal  and environmental activist. It's probably something I will consider along the way but as for now I make my contribution by supporting those who are fighting for the cause.
