Fashion – Boston
My name is Nellie Theroux. I am a 2013 graduate of Lasell College with a degree in Fashion Design and Production. I am a professionally trained seamstress with 8 years sewing for an upholstery shop and 1 year working as a tailor. I am following my dream of building my brand, Peaceful Fashions, which provides unique, meaningful and high quality wearable art that celebrates life and love. Each piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind expression that possesses a positive energy of its own. All items are 100% handcrafted by me, with love and care using sustainable zero-waste techniques. I save all scraps from previous designs and stitch them together for my patchwork collection. I love patchwork for its beauty and for me, it is also a metaphor for life~ \"Everything is a delicate balance of small pieces that work together towards one whole. Individual pieces are important on their own, but when they join the group they rise to their potential. If there is one patch missing, the community falls apart. Everything has a purpose, there is “zero waste”.
