BRYN-TASTIC

Bryn's clothing line consists of two dresses, one skirt, one vest, one tank top, and one pair of ill fitting trousers. I think that it was a known fact, her trousers were quite hilarious and clown-like. But if given an extra day, I know Bryn could have made not only wearable but cute. My personal favorite of the collection was the hand died blue and white crop top (pictured on Midori). If I had rock hard abs, I'd probably buy and never take it off.

Here are two of her four outfits: the paper doll dress and crop top&skirt:

[interview]

JK: WHAT WAS THE MAIN INSPIRATION OF YOUR LINE?
BW: THE FEBRUARY ISSUE OF HARPER'S BAAZAR. THE BLUE AND WHITE COLORS FROM SPRING, I LIKE THAT THERE WERE BRIGHT COLORS BUT THE USE OF BLUE AND WHITE WERE A SUTTLE TOUCH.


JK: WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE CLOTHES FOR YOUR SENIOR PROJECT?
BW: I JUST LOVE CLOTHES SO MUCH. MAKING CLOTHES IS A HOBBY, I ENJOY THE SATISFACTION OF FINISHING A PIECE.


JK: WHAT WERE SOME DIFFICULTIES YOU CAME ACROSS?
BW: "THE TROUSERS" I HAD NO PATTERN, NO PREVIOUS SKILL, NO SANITY AND ONLY FOUR HOURS. IT WAS ALSO HARD TO FOCUS ON ONLY MAKING CLOTHES FOR HOURS.


JK: WHICH WAS YOUR FAVORITE PIECE?
BW: THE WALL PAPER DOLL DRESS. I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS COOL I USED CHEESE CLOTH AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT DELICATE BUT DETAILED


JK: WHAT'S YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?
BW: MY PERSONAL STYLE IS WAKING UP EVERY MORNING AND PUTTING ON WHATEVER I FEEL LIKE WEARING THAT DAY.

JK: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MAKING CLOTHES?

BW: I'VE BEEN SEWING SINCE I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD, BUT I WAS 16 WHEN I MADE MY FRIST ARTICLE OF CLOTHING- HIGH WAISTED FLORAL SKIRT. I WAS VERY PROUD OF IT 

JK: WHAT MADE YOU START MAKING YOUR OWN CLOTHES TO BEGIN WITH?

BW: MY MOTHER ALWAYS SEWED SO SHE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO ME. AND IT FELT THE SAME AS GOING SHOPPING BUT IT WAS CHEAPER. THE EXCITEMENT OF MAKING YOUR OWN CLOTHES IS 10X BETTER THAN BUYING THEM.

JK: ANY REGRETS?
BW: ONCE AGAIN, "THE TROUSERS" COULD HAVE BEEN EXECUTED MUCH MUCH BETTER. ∆
