adventures of a freewheeling ginger.

hi hi hi!

sorry, been on VACA. no biggie. here's my Spring 2011 collection! actually i ended up doing really well in my portfolio class. i worked super hard on fixing up all of my mistakes, and printing it out all fancy-like, and glueing each page back to back. errgggg gluing can be grueling! anywho, i've set up an interview for the day i get back to NY so i'm actually sort of excited to show it off! i won't say yet who i'm interviewing with but let's just say it's my first choice for an internship and my fingers are like crossed all over eachother like a million times (you think that's not possible, but i'm actually quite serious. yeah i'm double jointed in my hands, big whoop).

so remember when i was saying how obsessed i was with the original Pippi Longstocking? so here's what happened with that.

(actually this is only half of the designs, but you get the idea.)

i am a Thing-Finder, and when you're a Thing-Finder, you don't have a minute to spare.

well Pippi, i can certainly relate to that!

for my Spring 2010 collection i chose a sort of Pippi-esq theme. sure, it sounds a little hokey. but take a minute and get to know Pippi because she's freaking awesome as can be. this whole Pippi craze started when i was in the Netherlands this summer and found several postcards from the movie that provided the most wonderful colour story. then while looking after these Swedish kids i babysit, i thought it was a sure sign when the 4-yr-old girl was watching Pippi Langstrumpf the movie. though completely in Swedish, it's pretty clear that Pippi's a unique breed... plus, being set in the early 70s in Sweden, there is so much to be inspired by!

(okay, yeah... she might be a little creepy).
