With a new global economy, and the emergence of the ever growing thrifting phenomenon; fashion designers are tapping into a market share far beyond their traditional exclusive consumers who scour the racks at luxury department stores like Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and Barneys.

HSN Studios Blogger Event

The visit consisted of a tour of the grounds, which provided an indebted and behind the scenes look at what started as an on-air radio program selling can openers to a brand that has revolutionized the home shopping experience....

DIY in Review: The Favorites Pt. I

Over the last two years I've been letting my creative juices flow. Sewing is not only a hobby, but a way of life for me. There is nothing more rewarding like having the ability to create. And in the world of fashion where mass fashion dominates an industry where individuality comes far and few in between; sewing provides the flexibility to create garments that are not only one-of-a-kind, but most importantly---custom to my own body type. Today, I've highlighted some of my favorite DIY garments. Clearly this is going to be a multi part series since I have so many sewn garments, many of which I have yet to share with you guys. So stay tuned for more on the...
