Hello Again

It really has been a while but I am pleased to come to you with a new workspace and many new ventures that I am very lucky to be a part of.

I will be catching you up slowly but surely.

Here's a peek into my new life!

Who knew?


Sometimes you get inspiration from unexpected places. Every designer or artist says this at some point but I was honestly not expecting to looooooooove what was to result of the swatch piece that I was testing the overstitch machine on.

I really like the imperfections. It made me wish that the machine would keep fucking up... for the sake of the cool stripe pattern that resulted, not for the sake of my project.

Sexy Timezzzz

I finally took a few quick snapshot of something I made a few weeks ago. It is on my beautiful friend Ahmed... and here it is.


It is made up of three types of jersey: a wool rib, a tie-dye cotton jersey and a sort of quilted jersey. I pieced the stripes together and they interchange in the back.

This is the first knit piece I've ever made and one of my favorite pieces overall.

My roommate loves it and she wears it out all the time:


You can also take a peek at her stuff here or here.

My Baby

I am officially the proud owner of a knitting machine. I received it yesterday!


I am very passionate about knitwear. I am currently focusing on mens knitwear and took a machine knitting course not too long ago; where I not only learned to machine knit but became convinced that getting my own was a good idea. 

I am making a few things for my junior preview which I will post soon.


This is from the class I took but is actually one of the garments I mentioned that i'm making.

Been A While

I've been meaning to write about the very exiting week I had... two weeks ago. 

I thought you might appreciate the fact that I ran into The Man Repeller at Fedora and creepily asked her to take a picture with me. It was very exiting because I do follow her even though I tried and failed to play it cool. She was amazingly sweet and even complimented my boots.


Exactly seven days later I saw Isabel Toledo with her husband, Ruben Toledo. They were speaking at my school promoting her new book but the little that I knew about either one was heightened by seeing them interact. I haven't intended to become any kind of book promoter through this blog, but I do fully intend on reading her book Roots of Style


If she wrote it I'll enjoy it. 
Her and her husband remind of everything you believed in when you were little but have become cynical of. Every once in a while, it is nice to be reminded of all the good and that you can go through life without being changed by the not-so-good. 


My Future Logo


While doing a collaboration with my roommate in order to find some motivation to do work I actually have to do, I doodled this (horizontally but prefer it vertically) and really love it. I am someone who is very rooted to the sea but HAVE realized my affinity for doing Spring/Summer collection so maybe a fish logo wouldn't seem so weird.

Let me know what you think?

The Dream


Believe me, if you were a little bit younger or I was a little bit older, it woulda happened.
