Oh, Venezia...
Ciao all! Venice was the first trip my dad and I took, and it was absolutely amazing. It is a beautiful city, and while we could have easily seen everything in just 1 day, we decided to stay overnight (sadly, the a/c was broken in our hotel..bummer). We took the train from Milan, and did all tourist things- took tons of pictures, went on a gondola ride, and ate probably the best piece of chocolate I have ever tasted (and believe me, I've had my fair share of chocolate).

Jac & Dad's Milanese Adventure
Been slacking on the posts here, but this starts the series of trips my dad and I took while he was in Milan for my show last month! We (my dad, his best friend Teddy, Teddy's wife Tina, and Frankie) had a grand old time- these are only pictures from Milano... exciting Venice and Barcelona pictures coming soon!
Check it.
First stop: Breakfast, lunch, happy wine

Finally.. CRUNCH! The runway collection.
F.I.T. Graduate collections showed last Tuesday in Milano, Italy! Our show was called "Armonie", and was a collaborative fashion show and concert (with Conservatorio di Milano students who played live). There were 5 mini collections shown (mine included)- 1 children's and 4 womenswear. This is an unedited video of "Crunch", my womenswear collection inspired by insects. For those of you who don't know about my collection already, it consists of many graphic prints which I have designed and had printed on fabric (inspired by the beautiful insect photography of mermet gilles). I wanted to design everything about the collection, fabric included.
Highlights: Original prints, embroidery (back of the sheer bodysuit), soleil pleating
This is what I've spent my last 6 months of school working on.
Now what?!?!?!

(My collection! Enjoy.)

Hail the Size of Golf Balls
Ok, so it's only hail the size of pencil erasers. NEVERTHELESS, a perfect day to update a blog. It's been a long time! A few notable events have occurred this past month.
Recap:
1. My birthday! (April 5. Was in Amsterdam.)
2. My birthday dessert party (in Italy)
3. Cooked some delicious food
4. Made a project page for my thesis collection (insect inspired women's clothing) on Kickstarter- Successfully funded!
------
My birthday & dessert party were equally as sweet! As for the delicious food, I made "Zucchini- Parmesan Squares". I didn't make them in squares, though. I made them in mini dishes (like appetizers).. pictures below! If you're interested, the recipe:
Also made banana fritters, but I'll save those for next time.
More importantly:
Thank you to Laura Paxton & the 35 other friends and family who backed my Kickstarter project.
