Zipkini- New Style Swimsuit

All these years I have worn tankinis because I have always hated taking off my whole swimsuit to go to the potty. Not anymore! This girl, Fashion Designer, created what I call the "Zipkini." It's a two piece swimsuit that detaches at the center waist with zippers. The first demo of this Zipkini is headed out to my Model, Tatjana Zomer de Wolf in the Netherlands.

Requested Designs

This past winter an old high school friend requested a Selena look alike dress for his bride's dress to do their renewal vows this year. Without seeing the back of the actual dress I believe this dress came out beautifully. This demo dress is made of dyed muslin and rhinestones. Thoughts?

November 2012 CatWalk for Hope

November 9, 2012 was San Antonio's Second Annual Catwalk for Hope that's focused on Breast Cancer awareness but continues with Leukemia and other cancer awareness. This 2012's show turned out great. Some highlights were Designer Kevin Pounds, Designer Isabel Lotti, Designer Steven Christopher, and myself.

I believe I out did myself with this dromper I created. It's shell is a cocktail dress with a skirt that bubbles into the lining of shorts. Unique and fabulous I must say!

Baby Step Celebration

On June 5th, I went out with my Spring Collection in hopes to sign a consignment with two (2) boutiques, Plato's Closet and New York Exchange, here in San Antonio. After being rejected by Plato's Closet, for not being "trending" but being more "high couture" I was discouraged. Then, I walked into New York Exchange's new location on San Pedro, behind the Starbucks, I realized my collection belonged in this store. After talking to Amanda Alacron, the owner, we signed my first consignment! In celebration, I created the following layout for my poster ad.

Baby steps... are small milestone and need to be acknowledged.

The sizes held at New York Exchange are vanity sizes off the runway, ranging from a vanity 6 to vanity 8. I sell these styles in all sizes, however there is a week waiting period to receive the garments. If the garments are being requested for a custom fit there is an additional charge.

Spring 2012 with Agatha Marie and IADT

New things for Agatha Marie. First, I have been working on a Spring line since December of 2011. The line debut at the 2012 International Academy of Design and Technology (IADT) -San Antonio- Imagine Fashion Show on April 5 2012 at the Historic Sunset Station.

The night went great as the IADT graduates feared the worse backstage. We had models running up and down the stairs, in and out of garments. We had Designers in frantic making sure the garments are being viewed as they were meant to, and poor Britany Parker- she was the model most used in this event. Out of 12 Designers with a maximum of 6 designs each, but there were only 25 models from the Lari Nelson Fashion Group. Lets see, now that is 12 multiplied by  6, 72 garments walked down that runway by 25 fierce models. Lord, that was an amazing show. 

The venue, the Historic Sunset Station, was filled, we even had seating on the balcony. This sold out event went off without a hitch, with proceed benefiting the Kristine Meza Foundation for domestic violence awareness. 

This was my first mini collection, and I'm proud of it. I would have loved to use plus size models, but unfortunately that wasn't my call. But don't fret!! My fall line is in the works. Can't wait to see how God will help me present it. 

Ladies, Dare to be sexy. Always true, Agatha Marie 

Threads for Hope 2011

Last night was the Threads for Hope 2011 Fashion Show. Threads for Hope is a charity fashion show that IADT students participate in to raise money for the San Antonio Aids Foundations. All outfits are for sale, for information regarding the dresses of the evening please contact Ms. Cynthia Chapa at the International Academy of Design and Technology -San Antonio.

My Design:

‎"Candycane" was inspired by the colors of the Christmas season, but created for those who currently live with AIDS and HIV. "Candycane" is the sweet reminder of how anyone, including the ill, can enjoy the season looking glamorous. A great Thank you goes to Britany Parker for Rocking Around the Hotel Contessa Christmas Tree for me. Thanks babe

Overall the show had many designs by students and even Professors of IADT.  All the designs were wonderful and creative. Among the audience was, Bryan Rindfuss and Associate, writer and photographer of SA Current. Please see the SA Current for the designs of the evening.

Always true,
