WWD Article In Print

This is a scan of the Women's Wear Daily article in print, published September 5, 2006; The Fashion Designer Forum Awards was highlighted and I was associated with my first major fashion press along with some of my favorite friends.

I'm looking forward to the launch of my Design Your Own Denim Series, and my Rent-a-Design Student and Trade-a-Design Student services following the success of the WWD article and the begining of the Project Fashion Designers Forum series...



A half page article in WWD is a beautiful begining for someone with a deep love of fashion!

Everyone should participate in Concepts and Sketches and Real Clothes events, as mentioned in Women's Wear Daily, earlier this autumn!

Wow, I have been associated with my first Women's Wear Daily article this autumn...!

The Fashion Design Forum Awards were ultimately highlighted in a Women's Wear Daily article, September 5, 2006 on page 12, written by Conde Nast journalist Mengly Taing and printed above the Oscar de la Renta story.

Members of the judging panel, the contestants, organizers and champions of the annual awards were invited to submit biographies or conduct interviews with a stylish young journalist from WWD.

After all of the positive publicity from WWD, Marcus the creator of the annual design awards competition the Fashion Design Forum Awards approached me about creating a weekly series of design contests, I expressed a longtime interest in creating a competitive series that would rival the variety of challenges hosted on The Fashion Spot and Project Fashion Designers Forum was born.

TECHNICOLOR REVELATION

A busy convention center floor lit with metal halide lamps overhead and abuzz with international traders speaking in all the worlds native tongues, some speak Mandarin while sipping coffee from Styrofoam cups as other’s converse in languages secret to most shifting their stance on the lightweight concrete battleground.

You’re standing in the middle of the tradeshow arena, where global apparel gladiators trade and negotiate over textiles and manufacturing agreements. Pastel purchase orders are signed in triplicate, a receipt is issued and a scarlet red stamp seals the agreement as Japanese business men pass New York business women on the way to the Las Vegas airport to return home after a long weekend at the Pantheon of the apparel trade.

The promotional materials sent to my home served as the inspiration for the color palette used on my Internet magazine that is the centerpiece of my web site.

The second source of colors was gleaned from a club flier that was once left in a Detroit suburban record store five years ago. I still posses the aqua coated cardboard today since one of my past and present hobbies is my collection of promotional fliers and posters for underground movements and electronic melody makers.

BUGUOISEIE AND REBEL

BUGUOISEIE AND REBEL

Watery eyes and hallucinations persuade me to journey to the coffee machine for a French press break consisting of some decaffeinated beans and a spoonful of miniature sugar cubes.

Sugar, every design student’s angel dust, fallen from clouds above as a gift from a spirit not of this earth, created to maintain my focus after one hundred plus photos of runway personality and super fashion model Omahyra Mota have been cataloged, edited and filed away in their digital file cabinets, taking their hand keyed assigned numbers along for the ride.

Lightening fast critical decisions, meetings with Anna Wintour and Nina Garcia over teleconference and scones, I’m certain some rare breeds of people must dream of being the editor of a fashion, art or design magazines, because I regularly discuss color, line and texture with them, however after hours of stiff fingers and strained eyes, it’s a great accomplishment to wrap this photo editing session of my Internet magazine until the position becomes necessary again.

Ride the Wind…
