"Ribbon Dance", summer 08' by Li-Fen Anny Chang

This cocktail dress was inspired by the designer’s interpretation of the flow and softness of tissue paper. The folding of the “ribbons” (created by sewing two tones of silk charmeuse together) were artfully folded and tied to create highlights of the design. Photos were taken by Li Fan.

"Moroccan Dream" by Marian O'Rourke-Kaplan

The Fashion Design Faculty have been very busy this summer. Janie, Marian and Anny have all created designs for a Threads Magazine sponsored design competition. Moroccan Dream is Marian's creation from foulard Silk purchased in NYC while directing the maymester tour. Combined with 2 colors of Silk chiffon and 2 color of silk charmeuse its skirt drape converts to a capelet for those breezy desert nights of Morocco! You see it here modeled by our very own Nikki!

Ask Anny and Janie to show you theirs on the blog as well!!
