Posted project update #14Chicago Fashion Focus 2011.
Post CommentHello and happy Monday everyone!
I have some exciting news that I've been dying to share. I will be showing the Dollparts Spring 2012 collection during Chicago's fashion week, Fashion Focus on October 20th.
Fashion Focus takes place in Millennium Park from October 17 - 23. The four headlining shows include CFI presented by Macy's, Inspiredesign presented by Mario Tricoci and vitaminwater, Vert Couture presented by Conscious Planet Media and The Art of Fashion presented by Style Chicago. I will be showing in the Vert Couture show which will be showcasing sustainable designers. To purchase tickets, please visit VertCouture.com.
I of course can't give away too much, but wanted to give you a teeny tiny peek at some designs...

Posted project update #12Spring 2011 Collection Launch!!
Post CommentHello all!!
I have been designing, patternmaking, and sewing since I reached my goal in October and will proudly launch my Dollparts Spring 2011 collection this Friday at Chez Mignon: A House of Pretty Things.
I was inspired by springtime, butterflies, wings and the 70s. Bright colors, florals and elements of disco are included. My line, along with Yellow Birdd Vintage, Alidade, Dethrose Vintage, Nonnie Johns and Caroline Borucki will walk the runway at 7:30 pm to Sewing Pattern's original jams at Elastic Arts Foundation in Logan Square.
Also enjoy photos by Shannon Driscoll, Rebecca Lyon, Finley J., AlderEgo, Bodywallet and Carmen Onida and live music by Deep Deep Diver.
Hope to see you there!!
<3, Michelle

Posted project update #8Festival of dollparts: October 13th - 26th
Post CommentPerhaps I should explain the 'Festival of dollparts'.
A couple of my most favorite people on the planet, my friend Daniel and his lovely mom Susan, have a paper blog called This Old Paper. In celebration of the launch of my clothing line and Kickstarter, they were nice enough to create the 'Festival of dollparts.' They will be blogging about fashion and clothing related paper and ephemera for the next two weeks, which is the close of my Kickstarter. Stay tuned....(thisoldpaper.com)
