Second Fashion Design + Instagram Update! ♡

Happy Friday!!

So today I wanted to share my second completed fashion design. It's fairly simple but I think it turned out pretty well. 

I also wanted to talk about my Instagram on this post. I just got an Instagram recently, and on there I post my designs, ootd's, and other fashion related stuff. It would be awesome if you're interested if you would follow me!! My username is @claire.fashion and I post pretty frequently. 

I'm also playing a game called Fashion Design World, and my nanobit ID is clairemariefashion if you want to friend me!

See you on Tuesday!

Designer Spotlight - Lilly Pulitzer ♡

Happy Friday!! I hope you've had an awesome week.♡

This Friday I'm going to be talking about one of my favorite fashion designers of all time, Lilly Pulitzer. She had a truly unique view on the whole art of fashion design, and her illustrations are instantly recognizable because of the bright colors, beach themes, and animal themes. 

I love the story of how Lilly got into the fashion design world. When she move to Palm Beach Florida, she opened a juice stand. Working at the juice stand and squeezing fruit got a lot of stains on her clothes. So, Lilly designed her classic sleeveless shift dress with bright and colorful fabric to hide the stains. When she wore this dress to work, she got a lot of compliments on the dress she had designed. Lilly then began making more of these dresses and selling them at her juice stand!! Of course, she ended up selling more dresses than juice, so Lilly changed her career interests to design. And ta-da, Lilly Pulitzer Inc. was founded in 1959!! 

Here is a Lilly shift dress. It's absolutely adorable, and there are so many styles and prints to choose from on the Lilly Pulitzer website(if you can afford them that is. i just stare at them and wish they weren't over $100 each. still cute though.)

Now I'm just gonna put some of my favorite Lilly quotes:

And of course:

My First Fashion Design Sketch! ♡

Hello everyone! ♡

I've been interested in the fashion design world for some time now, but I've recently been really considering majoring in fashion design in college. I'm going to take up sewing lessons in April! For now, I'm working on my fashion illustrating skills. 

So, I thought I'd share my first finished design. (I also posted it on my new Instagram, @claire.fashion) 

I'm really looking forward to improving with each sketch I complete! I will definitely start posting them here.
