Adri is sexy ^_~ Adriana used to be on Fusion with me back in college(eew, the way I just said that made me feel old). I always enjoy doing pieces more for show, costumes, dance etc. I feel like you just get to work with a wider range of mediums. I linked up with Mambo Dinamico through Adriana last year and was thrilled with working with Betto and the crew. What can I say, I will always have a soft spot for my latin side(nope, don’t have a single drop of latin blood in me, but I can dream I’m back in Buenos Aires anyday). I enjoy working with their group because they give me a lot of creative freedom. The first dance I had to design for was for what Betto called “The Break Up” Dance(a.k.a the night after a one night stand, oh me oh my). Here are some in-progress shots I recently found on my computer. Thanks Betto for giving a chance to work with them! I can’t wait to work on more. For those interesting in Salsa/Mambo Classes in the Raleigh/Durham Area please go check out Mambo Dinamico’s site!
FashionSpark was a complete Success!!!!!! I had a wonderful time and was very happy with how well everything went. I met some amazing people, and it still excites me that Raleigh has so much FRESH talent going on, and FINALLY people will get to see it. My collection was inspired by aquatic elements. I took some inspiration from Coral formations, the Ocean, The textures of the oceanfloor and a bit of 18th and 19th century design elements. I also wanted to mix alot of textures both in Draping elements and different textured fabrics. These four pieces are part of a full collection I will be working on through the end of the year, and hopefully, begining 2010 I will be having my own show and will be showing my full collection.
