Buck the Trend

  Growing up in New Mexico during the sixties is a real fashion problem these days Being young flower children, we were encouraged to find ourselves, and embrace individuality.  Everyone has personal style, and should never be afraid to be different.  I remember how much fun it used to be, when I would visit my grandmother in NYC.  She would take me to all of the glamorous department stores and unique little boutiques around the city.  It was as if we were on a clothing safari in the concrete jungle.  Now, it's as if retailers have gone from exotic lioness to common house cat.  There is not enough variation, anymore.  The same can be said about fashion and style these days.  When people show their own personal style, I love it!  The differences in people and their varying styles inspire me.  That is why I design what I design… for the joy and satisfaction of self-expression.  Make each piece your own, and just make a note to express yourself!
