back to basics

Here I am, dusting off my rulers, scissors, and manila....this brings back memories of fashion school and back to my roots starting off as a pattern/tech designer at Esprit.  It's all coming back to me now.....I'm not too rusty at all!  The Virgo in me loves the precise art of the drafting, cutting, sewing samples and problem solving.  I am so happy that I rediscovered this lost art!

(yes, I know it's late to launch fw08.....but, I think it's going to be a long, cold winter.  who wouldn't want to cozy their kids up in a warm furry vest and cashmere leggings?  All sustainable, each one special and unique, and made with love & pride here in the bay area.)
