While I have to follow industry trends and make sure my designs are commercially viable, I also have the opportunity to experiment and try new things.

I am fascinated by the fashion industry and spend a lot of time reviewing the industry’s history. I also stay current with new trends in the industry. This helps me understand what the marketplace is looking for and how my designs will fit in with the industry. I love the simple lines and clean designs from the 1920s, which seem to be coming back in a lot of contemporary designs. My style reflects this but also adds an innovative element that helps me distinguish myself from other designers.

There are a wide variety of materials you can work with and a lot of opportunities to experiment with new designs. The fact that there are several seasons also provides you with an element of diversity in that you can design for either cold or warm weather.

Most women find their midsections get less and less defined with age. Disguising doesn’t always work. But there are certain dress styles that are great at creating waists or the illusion of one. Look for styles with ruching, paneling, and detailing around the waist that can literally suck you in. ARead more
Most women find their midsections get less and less defined with age. Disguising doesn’t always work. But there are certain dress styles that are great at creating waists or the illusion of one. Look for styles with ruching, paneling, and detailing around the waist that can literally suck you in. A dress with a belt or tied-waist, such as a wrap dress, can help define the area as well. I personally like tied-waist dresses like this one from Alice + Olivia. I began wearing them after I was pregnant and they have remained a staple in my wardrobe. A peplumed item is also great for creating and defining a waist.
You can also distract the eye upward by wearing tops with interesting details or necklines. Fun costume jewelry (earrings, necklaces) can also show off your top half.
