Another part of my Parsons x Teen Vogue program is to make a mockup of my signature bag. I, in this case, decided to make a box clutch as my signature bag. So I gathered up some card stock and fired up the hot glue gun and made my mockup. It was time consuming but I feel worth it in the end to see my idea come to life.

 

I had to include my production cost grid if I were to make this bag in a real life setting.

Light canvas (one yard): $4.99

Black Button: $1.79

Hot glue gun: $12.99

Glue sticks for hot glue gun: $3.99

Labor ($8 per hour) @ 20% ($4.75): $28.51

Retail price: $30.00

The Difference

Another assignment from my Teen Vogue x Parsons program was to find the difference between clothing sizings at a large store that offers various brands. I went to one store, (which I probably should not name) and to my surprise the clothes were mostly the same fit in each size! I tried on either three or four of the same size in different brands and they all were around the same fit for me. So that was a big relief knowing that I can trust that store for a true size in every garment.

A Penny for Your Thoughts

I usually do not talk about other things other than fashion but I think this is pretty interesting!  I have embarked on a fashion program Parsons has decided to do with Teen Vogue. Its amazing so far I cannot believe how much I have learned. One of my assignments was to figure out production costs for a small wire and pebble ring I made. Long story short you really can make a profit if you find cheaper materials for your product. At first buying my materials the production cost plus profit came out to be $8.38. But then with getting my materials from cheaper sources online the production cost with profit came out to be $6.45. It really does make a difference! So for a non-mathy girl like myself, this type of math problem is one I would gladly solve!

Perfect Pre Fall Part One

Pre Fall never at first made much sense to me but after consideration and looking at the fashion offered recently, I had an epiphany! Its like having Christmas twice a year (along with Resort collections). Pre Fall is a little snapshot into the upcoming seasons and the fashion usually is offered right now to buy, which is fabulous. But now onto my faves…

Oscar de la Renta was a new take this season and I really enjoyed it. Every image sparked some newfound excitement inside of me and that is what fashion is all about: feeling something spectacular through the appearance of clothing. Peter Copping adds his own flair to the original brand in the best way possible.

Red Valentino is like Valentino young girls like me would die to wear right now. (Not that I would not mid wearing grown up Valentino myself! Hey any kind of Valentino is good enough for me!) The combination of shapes and colors was exhilarating and gives much inspiration to me.

Chanel, I mean “hello, this is the real deal”. I cannot even express the adoration I have for Karl’s genius. Every season is something new and fresh which is hard for being a part of a brand for so long. But Karl does it! The clothes are nothing less of spectacular and decadently gorgeous. I want it all!

Michael Kors is so right now and always has something every fashion girl is coveting at the moment. This collection was quite new I feel with the embellished coats and the frivolous feathers. It was just the right amount of drama.

Gucci. It deserves its own one word sentence. It is so luxe and just so inspirational. It makes me feel joyful and that sometimes is an aspect that is missing in the fashion we experience today. I adored every piece, it takes me to another time. I mean I feel like I have never experience something like this before.

BONUS: JONATHAN SIMKHAI. My new love. The recent winner of the CFDA Fashion Fund Award winner caught me by surprise. He is so creative with his shapes! It was feminine and very strong at the same time. And that is the type of woman I want to be.
