A little fun in Studio~

Startup Fashion was awesome enough to add some wonderful photos taken by my great friend, Jason Ruth.  He is a local photographer from Detroit, with an excellent eye, as he catches  the complete humor of life, uniquely with his lens.  I was lucky to meet Jason, a mutual friend of someone I knew, through the employment days as a manager at the Emory.  We always wanted to find a project to work together on, then that day came and went leaving a trace of some beautiful images. 


I was thrilled to have had the chance to collaborate with him and a fellow artist, Belen Sheppard, at the Russell Industrial Center here in Detroit. 

That last time we had shot together, was back in May of 2008.  A while back, so to say, which now being 2011, we made it clear our next collaboration was long over due.  


Jason contacted me to let me know of something new and interesting he was working on, which included artists existing in their natural habitats (studios).  I call it a habitat specifically that for which it is, the type of environment in which an organism or group normally lives or occurs and creating the image around that person to encompass the scope of their environments. Its an excellent idea, since it is apparent, each artist is that creative organism that drives whichever medium of artistic expression that is chosen to later exist.  I really appreciate those who appreciate the arts, and all which the arts entail, especially the creative hub, otherwise known as, the habitat.

Well, today started beautifully, the Sun shining over Detroit, birds chirping, Kona coffee brewing in the coffee maker, and I even managed to get the garbage and the recycling out before their pickup came! All in all, who knew this beautiful start, would only get better!

After my usual morning routine, first on the agenda was replies. Emails, tweets, and such filled my inbox's and one in particular stood out a little more than most.  The lovely Eco conscious Textile Designer and Blogger, Nicole Giordano, as well as Start Up Fashion, has selected me as BreakThrough Designer!

This is an excellent site that really supports and connects different fashion professionals.  One main objectives for StartUp Fashion and its blog is that which they are quoted to say "Through this blog we hope to help expose you to news, resources, ideas, and inspiration." The top four things that are  vital in the life of the fashion business.

The comments and feedback has been so supportive, and it feels great to be recognized as one of the many brands to make a splash at Pool Tradeshow inside WWDMAGIC  a few weeks ago. She was even sweet enough to include some recent in studio pics from Jason Ruth, friend and photographer.


I am forever grateful, that she is sharing a little something about me, FLD, and all that represents, some of the best Fashion to be exported from Detroit. =)
