Cállate La Boca! pt. 1

I've been to the best city...

b a r c e l o n a

I think I'd like to visit once a year for the rest of my life. This was the 2nd trip my dad and I took last month while he was here visiting- it was so much fun. Maybe I was a bit snap happy..  

my digital camera stopped working, so I'm missing the photos we took with a disposable camera. (Yup. The one's you have to wind. We're bringin' it back.) We took one of those Hop On Hop Off buses, and walked pretty much the entire city in 3 days. It was awesome! 

This is part 1 in a barcelona series (way too many pictures for one day). I'll do a separate Gaudi post with the pictures from the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell. Soooo, these are the general pictures from around the city. Random buildings- super cool architecture and surface design-, aerial views of the city from a cable car, and some other adventures.

I have to warn you, toward the end of the photos, some of the pictures of the Market of la Boqueria are not for the faint of heart. This market was unbelievable. It's located on the main street, La Rambla, and there is every type of fresh fruit, juice, and the food is delicious! 

Check  it.

Dad: British Africa?

Promoter: Marketing purposes.

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). 

Check it!

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

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

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?!?!?!
