Zara's Fall Lookbook

Look sharp — Zara’s August lookbook is out, full of clean-cut silhouettes in a femme-masculine mix that feels just right for Fall 2011. Look for waxed trousers, smooth-line blazers, and button-up shirts — along with a smattering of fur, sequins, and optical prints — in a super-rich palette of navy, forest, and rust.
Check out their September Lookbook here!

Totally in love!

Hand In Glove

I started some new sketches for Hand In Glove.

My mother and I started this clothing line back in 2007/2008.
It all started with our reconstructed clothing line called Recycle I.T. which evolved quickly to Hand in Glove.
We received really good feedback and had positive response to the clothing, but due to financial issues we had to take a little hiatus after the 2009 collection.

I've decided that I need to take my time and come up with some solid sketches before turning them into actual sample pieces...why rush?


Currently the new sketches have a more elevated feel to them. More sophisticated with clean silhouettes, but have a dark almost Gothic feel to it. Some of the items are very animated, almost costume-like.

These are some past Hand In Glove images:
