Wow, I have been associated with my first Women's Wear Daily article this autumn...!The Fashion Design Forum Awards were ultimately highlighted in a Women's Wear Daily article, September 5, 2006 on page 12, written by Conde Nast journalist Mengly Taing and printed above the Oscar de la Renta story.Members of the judging panel, the contestants, organizers and champions of the annual awards were invited to submit biographies or conduct interviews with a stylish young journalist from WWD.After all of the positive publicity from WWD, Marcus the creator of the annual design awards competition the Fashion Design Forum Awards approached me about creating a weekly series of design contests, I expressed a longtime interest in creating a competitive series that would ri

Pastel purchase orders are signed in triplicate, a receipt is issued and a scarlet red stamp seals the agreement as Japanese business men pass New York business women on the way to the Las Vegas airport to return home after a long weekend at the Pantheon of the apparel trade.The promotional materials

BUGUOISEIE AND REBEL 2006-04-12 21:41:00 BUGUOISEIE AND REBELWatery eyes and hallucinations persuade me to journey to the coffee machine for a French press break consisting of some decaffeinated beans and a spoonful of miniature sugar cubes. Sugar, every design student’s angel dust, fallen from clouds above as a gift from a spirit not of this earth, created to maintain my focus after one hundred plus photos of runway personality and super fashion model Omahyra Mota have been cataloged, edited and filed away in their digital file cabinets, taking their hand keyed assigned numbers along for the ride. Lightening fast critical decisions, meetings with Anna Wintour and Nina Garcia over teleconference and scones, I’m certain some rare breeds of people must dream of being the editor of a fashion, art or design magazines, because I

I’m not certain that the Devil wears Prada, but I am sure that she has been teasing my web site. Shifting ones and zeros while I’m listening to the electronic pulse of Style of Eye and live modern acid jazz, hiding in the corner next to the bookcase, my midnight muse.After 400 plus hours of design and edits and six versions later, my publishing project has finally turned a corner, the same intersection that keeps me typing hundreds of pages and analyzing html code instead of creating hundreds of garments in my studio and workshop.The technical challenge is moving into a downhill position and the editorial and a handful of electronic self expression is all that lies between myself and publishing my electronic art, fashion and culture magazine.Keep your monitors hot

Michael Kors still delivers the most brilliant one-liners in the fashion industry and Heidi still looks gorgeous in her designer garb near the end of her pregnancy. Next week Jay McCaroll is stopping by as a celebrity runway judge, hopefully that will be a laugh overload of a challenge. And then there were three...The Design Student Journal
