T.I.A. Custom made Glitter Hoodie

A Custom made hoodie that I made for my friend Courtney, just the way she wanted. A photo of her rocking in the hoodie.

The hoodie at my home on my mannequin, looked so much better on my model friend.  

Harajuku inspired Sportswear Fashion

I was always very drawn to Japanese street fashion especially in Tokyo, how they can wear many colors and mismatch clothing items yet still look so cool and fashionable. So I thought I could try to attempt making a collection based on Harajuku fashion and keeping the sportswear aesthetics.
