Mission (Im) Possible…

Hello Fellow Fashionistas,

I missed you dearly seeing as my only friend has been my dress form Naomi, for the past few weeks. On a positive note the first round of judging is two weeks away giving us all something to aspire to while a great sense of relief awaits us.

Since it has been my unofficial job to cheer people up, make them laugh, etc. I thought I would use this as an opportunity to introduce you to my world…

Walking the Halls

F.I.T. is a design school, and despite our lack of national coverage in magazines such as Cosmo, Seventeen, and the like, everyday here is a fashion show. Did I mention that professional models attend here as well. Shh… there a young lady here from the Marc Jacobs ad campaigns. #NotKidding

Someone who is really living the American dream and started from the bottom up is Miss Rachel Roy. Click here to see her in action and get an idea of what we are up to here on 27th street, minus the make-up tests and thought provoking hair ideas.

I hope you found this post insightful and downright uplifting. As they say “keep on trucking”!

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself…

 

Hi Guys & Dolls,

My name is Mark and I am in my senior year at F.I.T., the best college ever! My concentration is special occasion, pretty things, anyone? I love it here and as will you, don’t be shy with your questions.

Nervous? Well don’t worry, I and the other bloggers are here for you. We were all 17 once, reading well, Seventeen and the likes of Teen Vogue before the all nighters and frequent trips to Mood fabric store came in. Click here to check out the home of Project Runway!

Something I am currently working on

I am always working on new concepts and looking for ways to make my love of history, trends, and people relevant in my work. One tip for you aspiring fashionistas out there, start a journal filled with images, fabric, and even buttons that inspire you. Trust me, it pays off!

Keep in touch and let me know what you want to hear next!
