Services
Full design (from conception to  completion), photography services, photoshoot styling

The inspiration for this collection was taken from the 1965 book “Take Ivy,” that exploded “Ivy Style” among students in Japan. Concepts of elite fashion, and distinctive dressing is what makes these items so special. Personalization has been a popular trend throughout the years for “boarding school aesthetic”, from the quintessential everyday monogramed LL Bean Boat tote to bespoke Hermès equestrian tack. This collection was conceived before big brands adopted the concept in the late twenty-teens. Everything is done by myself: full design from ideation, to sampling, corrections, completion. This includes the full photography service as well: preproduction of styling and organizing, shooting to post and editing.

Hard work has paid off. My cold weather accessories have been featured multiple times on Etsy throughout the years, and I have even been a featured Etsy artist as well, as well as magazines. My knits have been sold throughout the USA in mom and pop shops to larger Indie brand e-commerce sites (as Blake Lively’s questionably “cool?”, no longer around, Preserve).
