What It’s Like Designing Your Own Line. Lara Bly, Designer and Illustrator Explains to PinkyShears.com. Part 2

Posted by Brandon on November 4, 2009 at 3:25pm

Her experience working for others as well as starting her own line makes Lara Bly a great resource for beginning designers. Beginning to work on her own line, she remembers, called on skills she hadn’t used in a while. “It was a big change after having patternmakers and machinists working for me at Sacrosanct. It took a while to remember what I knew about sewing. I was rusty, but it came back quickly. It took me a while to transition away from Sacrosanct’s way of doing things,” she remembers. “I

Posted by Raquel on November 4, 2009 at 2:30pm
When you're walking thru the mall, what draws your attention in the store windows that makes you want to go in? Is it the display? The colors or the patterns of clothes? The poters? The SALE sign? The cute guy or girl that just walked in? What about when you walk past BeBe? What makes you want to go in and buy something? My answer: the manequins. They're shiny. Silver. Gold.

New Year, New You

2009 is bound to bring new adventures. Perhaps some challenges, too. Overall, I hope it gives us plenty of reasons to celebrate. As a personal stylist, every style session with a client is a celebration for me. Being a part of your epiphanies and/or transformations is an amazing experience.
