My favorite look
LA Fashion Week
Hey,
Hope you had a great. I am still in LA meeting new friends and making connections. I want to stop by and share my favorite look with you. Hope you enjoy.
It's hard to pick which look I love the most out of this collection. I do believe that I have grown alot as a designer. The green up suit with the coat was new for me to design this season. When I look at this entire look, she is bold, comfortable, and the center piece of the room. Beside my love for architecture, I am in love with mens 1800 coats. I love how their coats are short in the front and long in the back. And when they walk, the wind would catch their coat reminding me of the cape of a super hero. I have love that look for many years.
To choose out of these three would be hard. I think each of these clothes are great for different moments in a woman's life. The first garment is a transition garment. A garment that can take you from work to a cocktail party. Choosing the right type of materials really helped with this collection. The frist look is all in neoprene fabric. I wanted this look to be comfortable and elegant. Comfortable for ever day work but elegant even for a red carpet event.
Today I would choose the middle outfit because I need a garment that I can wear heels and my converse all in one day. As a designer, my role changes throughout the day. In one day I am at a coffee shop then headed to a gallery cocktail event. Who knows maybe tomorrow the third look will be my favorite. Thanks for reading. See you next time.
Love,
Merline

Getting the runway look!
I am super excited to be in LA. I am having the time of my life. The runway show at LA Fashion Week with Art Heart Fashion was a exciting. I love seeing what I have been working on since fall of last year. My ideas are no longer on paper but has come to life. In this collection I wanted to create the simple collection. If you know me as a designer, simple is not how I approach designing. My background in architecture has helped me create the most out of the box designs. I am taking the same inspirations and creating some thing simple. Simple is not always easy to design. There are so many elements that goes into designing. Elements such as, where is she going in this garment? How would she feel in the clothes I design.
I am always thinking about what women want in their closets. My purpose is to design for the creative woman that works in the business world. This woman has so much happening in her life that she needs a wardrobe that makes her look fabulous on the go.
How do you get this look? How do you put this look together. I call it the "Basics" . The first concept is buying clothes that are multi purpose. As a woman, the clothes that I value the most are garments that can take me from one event to another. I love having a pair of pants that I can wear with heels and later with a pair of converse to meet my girls. This collection is inspired by that woman. Well, check out my collection and let me know what you think. Talk to you soon,
