So, by now most of you know that I design and make clothes. Today, I want to honor some of my hard work.
"HOPE"
This edgy vintage wrap around dress was created by
Steven Kissinger and myself for the
Threads for Hope 2010 Fashion Show. This dress design came to us when we were looking through a
Vogue Magazine featuring a Tommy Hilfiger winter coat. With our vintage-loving minds we created an impetuous look for a fabulous cause, the
San Antonio AIDS Foundation.
We were lucky to work with a dear friend and model Ms.
Sadie Louise Haas, who was in great spirits through out the fitting and preparations for the show. Ms. Haas is an upcoming starlet in the San Antonio region. She has preformed in many fashion shows such as, E.B.E. Model search for
Pure Magazine;
Beca Marie's Bikini Competition; the Candy Couture Show by
Dulce Productions; and the Haute & Heavy by
Samantha Plesencia.

"Winter011"
After seeing my work, A Production Manager, Rodrigo Rodriguez, from
RDZ Production from Florida called me and asked if he sponsor a dress. Winter011, was created during Christmas 2010. This dress was made with vintage cocktail and evening gown in mind. Its a tight, mini, bubble satin dress with a short collar.
"Imagen011"
Three months later, I designed an evening gown, which came to life and worn by fellow Designer
Frieda Lopez for her wedding collection presentation in the
IADT 2011 Imagine show.
Frieda Lopez, is a Puerto Rican Designer that always goes over the top with her notions. Although she varies in her styles, Frieda is quite the inspiration. I have worked alongside Frieda for Threads for Hope and Imagine and I can honestly say she is a Designer to watch.

"Alisha"
Not to long after that, my Goddaughter, Alisha, asked if I would make her a Prom dress. After long discussions about what kind of dress she wanted this was the exact image she had. I remember her saying, "It looks just like my sketch!"
There are a few Seamstresses that can't always put a creations together from a drawing and measurements. Trust me, after doing this long distance I have no fear of whats to come.
Now comes the fun part! This October I am creating my very first Production: Fashion Revolution. I will be creating 15 outfits all at once along with creating the show. It is a very exciting opportunity that I know I can handle.
Always true,
Agatha Marie
