Fashion Fridays with Tat

Who wants to be a fashion designer?  Designing and creating my own fashions is my lifelong love.  I studied Fibers and Textiles in college>>check out Tyler School of Art to discover an amazing school.  Our local ARTS Council has an annual fundraiser called "Recycled Runway Fashion Show" each year, which showcases regional design talent in a juried fashion show.  My designs have been on the runway and I wanted to offer the opportunity to young artists.

 Enter Tatyana Buchholz (aka TAT), a fellow designer with a mission to teach fashion design to our younger generation.  Tat's design was  in the first annual REcycled Runway show in 2012 and I was so enamored with her design, we became instant friends.

We joined forces and created a Fashion Fridays with Tat program at SSC Library in order to present a youth created fashion design on the runway this Spring.  Through special arrangements with The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes, our proposal was selected!  We just needed many happy hands to help create our spectacular avant-garde design.

There are 10 budding designers in the program and we are fascinated by the results of these hard workers!!!

Fashion Fridays with Tat runs the fourth Friday of each month, February through May, in order to finalize our design.  The progress is amazing!  Our next class is rapidly approaching.  I will only give glimpses and sneak peeks of our design until the runway.

Please check back to check our progress.  This design will be worn by a budding designer in our group.  The REcycled Runway Fashion Show is Saturday, May 30, at The Corning Museum of Glass auditorium.  This show must not be missed!  Purchase a ticket to attend and cheer on our local (and young) talented designers.

Until our next update, please check out the Slide show from 2014.
