Sara couldn’t make it to Ra’mon’s big fashion show “Eluded Love” this weekend, so I got to be the guest blogger for the Star Tribune.
Check out my review and some photos from the event here on Sara Glassman’s Stylepoints blog!
My new collection (you’ll see photos soon) is made from organic and sustainable jersey fabrics (cotton & bamboo). It only comes in white, so everything had to be hand dyed. I’ve been dying stuff for a few months now successfully and without any disasters or major clean-up jobs… well… that was until today.
Man… this week sure got away from me. I know this is last minute, but I thought I should do SOME promotion for my open studio and trunk show! Come visit my studio Sunday April 20th and get a peek at my new collection.
Yikes! I’ve been so busy working on my new collection for the Voltage fashion show tonight that I totally forgot to mention it!
Anyways, I think tickets are sold out, but I promise to get you a full recap with as many photos as I can!
For the time being, here’s a “sneak peek” at a muslin/drape for one of my new dresses: 
I’ll just start off and say that I was REALLY impressed with the final collections. I love that they all have their own style and point of view. Each one was so unique that I could have easily figured out who designed each collection without ever seeing the designer.
What a drastic switch from the last episode. Loved that they finally took the designers to the MET! What a fantastic place for inspiration! I love the challenges that give the designers a choice in their inspiration rather than forcing a product placement. I also really liked that you could get a sense of each designers’ personality in the actual artwork that they picked.
I don’t know if you remember, but a while back I showed this picture of Joe board-sliding a rainbow rail and said that I was a bit chicken of it… well, I guess I should have listened to my instinct because 4 days later I was attempting the rail and now look at me:
Okay… help me out here. I’m totally torn between hating and loving this challenge. Is it possible to do both? I had assumed that I would HATE everything about this episode, honestly I can’t think of anything tackier than WWE costumes except for maybe actual stripper wear, but it turned out to be entertaining and had some good results.
I bet you don’t find too many Ice Pigs chillin’ (no pun intended) on the streets of L.A.!
Okay, so like I said in my PR recap, I’ve been meaning to post the finished product of my DIFFA denim jacket makeover, but you know how busy things get.

Across the Universe I wasn't sold the first time I watched this, but then I couldn't stop thinking about it and now I'm loving it! Definitely gets you in the mood for some Beatles music.
The Office I know... I'm late to the game, but I can't get enough of The Office right now!
Nortec Collective 5 guys on laptops + 1 trumpet + 1 accoridan... Ranks at the top of my list for best live shows ever, right up there with Radiohead and Flaming Lips.
Knit Book; Basics & Beyond I want to make some hats and I use to know how to knit, but need a refresher. This is a great book that covers a lot of info and has TONS of good pictures (great to learn from).
Bamboo Fabric Store I'm trying to move my Spring '08 collection into the green by using organic and/or sustainable fabrics. I found all my new bamboo jersey fabrics here and I'm totally in love with them!
Project Runway 3 DVD I got this for Christmas and am still too scared to watch it! I've heard that I'm shown on the DVD a lot more than I was on the season... eek!
Chromeo I'm not so much into the whole 80's throwback trend, but these guys are awesome. Check out “Tenderoni” to know why.
Theo Wirth Snowboard Park I just started teaching here... great little secret in Minneapolis.
Of Montreal So good... but it gets stuck in my head and I wake up at 3am singing “Eva... I'm sorry. You will never have me... you're just some faggy girl and I need a lover with sole power...”
Brick Old fashioned “detective” style movie, but set in a modern high-school setting.
