It’s time to open up!-

and YEAR OF FASHION 12 month fashion studies program is opening too!
because
Sometimes, it’s just….. time.

Today I’m here to joyfully announce the opening of registration for FREEDOM FASHION suite.
for a few bold souls who are ready to dive deep with me
because it’s YOUR TIME time for fashion and design 
(and so much more!)

What is Year of Fashion? –
12 months of fashion design studies.

MODEL MAGIC model drawing and art course is recommended as a pre-work bonus before doors open!

YEAR OF FASHION is an entire suite of fashion design and illustration courses,
You get to study from home via videos, lectures, resources and links I created based on over 25 years as a professor at Parsons School of Design.
You can pace and tailor your program with me to serve you best,

plus get monthly private video sessions one-on-one with me for each member (including one OPENING SESSION and one CLOSING SESSION) to orient and guide you through the programs
to meet YOUR needs, goals!
Through the process we’ll get clear on what you want and taking  steps towards it with support.

To me, creativity is a divine channel, originating in the heart.
There are so many ways to be creative. 
The way we approach ourselves and our lives every day is creativity.

Creating images, fashion illustrations and fashion design “just ” another form …

But don’t underestimate how powerful it is, and now it has repercussions all over your life inside and the world around you!

We who love fashion and costume know that there is NOTHING quite like fashion for expression.

Working with color, with texture, with experience, imagery ,fabric and humans as the subject,
we uncover so much deep knowledge about ourselves and experience of the world!

We also uncover our highest aspirations, and what limiting beliefs and myths make us feel “SEPARATE” from them.

And we work through those hurdles together.

I originally went into fashion design school
because I knew the images and art of fashion and fashion design
****could influence the way people saw themselves and each other, *****and I wanted to harness that in a positive way.

Fast-forward 25 years designing and teaching at Parsons School of Design, and I still feel like I never fully got to realize that power to the extent that my vision holds..

That vision means leading and encouraging and sharing everything I know with creative hearts and souls to create a collective yet diverse movement

where we create OUR images of ourselves and the world as we see it
where we tell our stories
and use our intuition to uncover more and more truth about ourselves
through our art, our creations, our businesses.

OUR CHOICES
our voices.

My vision is that each member has a voice and a safe space to explore and discover their message, their abilities, and the WHY of their calling
the calling to create and to hone their vision and voice!

I originally created Soulful Fashion Foundation Immersion program
so I could distance myself from the toxic corporate culture of the university
and work more honestly and directly with the members of our community

No grading, no hard deadlines, unhealthy competion etc.

Just learning, growing, discovering, curiosity, skills, creation, inquiry, and healing.

Since 2013,  Soulful Fashion Foundation Immersion has evolved into an entire suite of programs!

the Core Soulful Fashion Foundation Program (15 weeks)

Patternmaking and Draping Demystified 

Ipad/ Tablet Digital Freehand illustration  course

Fashion Design Infusion  Masterclass Bundle

Fall/ Winter/ Outerwear/ Sweaters Portfolio Concepts Course

FABRIC FORM AND FLOW Eveningwear Course (gouache, markers, and digital techniques included)

From Swatches to Gouache Illustration and deisgn Technique course

MODEL DRAWING MAGIC transformational model drawing exercises course

I’ve somehow miraculously manifested clients into these programs who align with the visions of ethical fashion and design, diversity (of body, culture, size, age, color, etc.)
Members who value intuition, service to our communities and the world at large, while practicing and developing deep SELF LOVE, self discovery, AND SELF CARE in the process.

(the opposite of what I experienced as a fashion design student in NYC, HA!!)

It’s been so healing and gratifying to work with you in short and long programs.

I’m happy to start getting to know you and seeing if the program is a fit for you.
