Bouffants And Broken Hearts - Textile Design Artist Kendra Dandy

There's nothing I love more than charming motif designs turned textile prints. Especially from an artist who mixes as many sixties hair styles, bewitching hands, and eyelashes as Kendra Dandy. Here are some of my favorites.

Alexa Chung DJs in Seoul 2011

I love this video. I always dreamed when I turned 22 I would be living in NYC and have a lovely wardrobe and a nice job in fashion. And here I am age 22 living in NYC chasing my dream in fashion.    

 

Disco Dancing In NYC

I think lately I'm more interested in creating impulse designs. I am so easily distracted and get bored working on "collections". Sometimes despite finding something inspiring there are only a few designs I really want to invest time in sewing. And I'm at a difficult time in my life where I'm interested in everything but not one single thing. There were years where I only wanted to dress in peterpan collar blouses, knee socks, and wool coats. I still want to dress that way but I find my day to day life requiring more practical items and my interest drifting. It's just hard trying to figure out one thing that I want to be at this point. Most of the time it feels like forcing something. I think I'm just not a concrete designer at the moment and embracing that seems like a nice idea despite how unguided it might be.

I want to reflect light like a disco ball though. I had on a top with sequins on the other day and at times I would notice little glittery lights on surfaces around me. It's close to the holiday season and while that's a common look for new years I'd like to wear a dress like this all the time. I found a cool way to play with illustrating these dresses too. I think it only works because sequins are so textured you can't see the disruptions where I've edited. I found two images and used them to make sleeves and a shift silhouette for these dresses. My favorite is the fitted waist with the crewneck.

The Deep End Club

I just got back from Tennessee Thomas' shop the Deep End Club. 

I walked over there to give her two bags I had left over from a collection of tote bags I made for etsy. She was there with some friends and a few girls were trying on dresses. She was super sweet and it was really nice to meet her. I've loved Tennessee and Alexa since I was a teenager. And despite being a little bit nervous it was really normal and very friendly.
