Fashion – Santa Ana

Well I have always been into fashion, however, I\'ve never really been one to wear what\'s \"trendy\"...I believe people need to find their own style and wear what works for them and what they are comfortable in. I would never sacrifice my comfort or my individuality for the sake of wearing what\'s in fashion \"at the moment\". In high school I shopped at second hand stores...not because I had to, but because I loved finding old, unique articles of clothing (I love anything from the 50\'s and 80\'s). I also use to steal my mom\'s shirts and turn them into dresses, skirts, etc (that didn\'t make her too happy...lol). I\'ve always loved making something new out of something old - I guess I was eco-conscious before I even knew what that meant - and I still am! So when designing and making my swimwear, not only do I look to styles from the past for inspiration, but I try to use \"recycled\" and sustainable fabric as much as possible! So a good majority of my suits will also be one-of-a-kinds!! Because of my love for creating designs and my own styles, along with growing up at the beach, it\'s no wonder I find such joy in making swimwear. I am just getting my feet wet (no pun) and cannot wait to take more risks in my designs and really step out of the box!
