Capture the height of the season through fashion sketching.
Design a dress or group of dresses and launch it as a greeting card. Design a print for a unique scarf to send as gifts.
From October (Halloween costumes) t0 November (Thanksgiving ), to Holiday parties in December, to New Year’s (I love white, ABOVE, for the New Year, Brazilian style), to Carnaval in February,…
…I’m thankful that the coldest, darkest months of the year are marked by such special fabrics, colors, shapes, creativity and celebrations.
I love having an excuse to be “extra” in my fashion sketching, and capture moments and memories that we consider “rare”, in our fashion – and costume- designs.

We can say HOLIDAY in so many ways.
From sweater knit dressing. (my most recent posts/ free training)
To twinkly, shiny, sparkly, sheer, ruffled, feathered, taffetta (HOLIDAY is however YOU see it),
Festive party wear. During the festive season, we FINALLY get an opportunity to push fashion a little further.
We get to wear things we don’t usually get to wear and infuse them with a special kind of magic.
WHAT TO WEAR TO A PARTY?
Or, how do we take holiday themes and turn them into celebrations for day time?
We get ideas this time of year that we don’t get the rest of the year.
EVENINGWEAR HOLIDAY SKETCHING VIBES
In 27y ears of fashion design teaching, I’ve always noticed how certain students are strictly eveningwear and bridal design focused.
Other fashion students
like to create separates for evening using special fabrics, embellisments, or create a portofolio that includes just one eveningwear group to round out their voice.
But eveningwear isn’t everybody’s thing.
How about YOU?
