Working with new Designers is both challenging and exciting. Since Fashion is Art, it's all about personal taste. In teaching I have found a love for the new and a constant evolution of taste as I am presented with new ideas on a regular basis.
In the past year I was lucky enough to have among my students a young men named Drew Kessler. With a passion for the outdoors and nature, Drew worked on a collection with a Nomad tribe in mind that mixes leathers, furs and canvas material. He has not only created all looks but also the shoes, handbags and head pieces that adorn this most incredible collection.
To me, more than trying to get a point across of a way in which an artist should or should not work, as a teacher, I am more interested in motivating the artist; in leading the artist down a path of exploration and curiosity with a positive light. Motivated people always produce better, more prolific work.
Here I am wearing one of Drew's looks...more to come!!!
