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

Team Crunch, babyyyy

The vintage market: Who needs a panda?

Yeah, I ate salmon tar tar. No big deal.

Just another trip to the museum

Parco Sempione

I'm the real photographer. Frankie has a squirt camera

Fountain on the wall of Stazione Centrale

 A Roman wall

I think I'll be a geologist when I grow up

Museum of Natural History 

Crabs attacking some kids

Monkey business

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?!?!?!
