Fall 2009 I would like to pay an homage to the Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans, a deep source of inspiration for me because of their skill, craft, and community. This collection has wildflower jacquards, tapesty weaves, dancing hummingbirds, haberdashery mixed with Native American Indians and the secretive society of Mardi Gras Indians. I am so inspired by time and effort that goes into each suit and the pride of showing the year's worth of work, the ulitmate fashion show as far as I am concerned.
