Ryan Morar and Melissa Avalos Spring 2014 Designer Preview

Ryan_Moroar_SketchesFrom the press release:

Ryan Morar, B.F.A. Menswear Design, grew up in Santa Monica / West Los Angeles where he graduated from Alexander Hamilton High School. His collection is inspired mainly by Robert Rauschenberg’s “Combines” mixed media
artwork, along with influences of discordant sounds of early 1980s Sonic Youth and Beat Happening albums. Elements of garments were deconstructed to create different shapes, new silhouettes, and give a raw, free form aesthetic to
the collection. Since graduating, Ryan has worked as a freelance designer for Stussy in LA, where he created a small collection of men’s denim garments. He also interned for Jeremy Scott where he made patterns and sewed toiles for the
Spring 2014 Collection. Ryan is currently living in Antwerp, Belgium, and interning at Walter Van Beirendonck through the end of the year. Ryan collaborated with Melissa Avalos, B.F.A. Textile Design, who created the
textiles for their collection.

Melissa Avalos, B.F.A. Textile Design, was born in Houston, Texas, and grew up in Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico. Visually inspired by Robert Rauschenberg’s mixed media artwork, Melissa collaborated with Ryan Morar, B.F.A. Menswear
Design, listening to old-school hip hop as her soundtrack for those long days spent printing her textile designs.

The collection will be featured in the Academy of  Art University’s spring 2014 show at Mercedes-Benz  New York Fashion Week.

WOLFE Christianson Launches Debut Fall 2013 Collection

wolfechristiansonWolfe Christianson Launches Debut Fall/Winter 2013 Collection with “Effortless Strength”

Wolfe Christianson is a luxury clothing collection that says “Effortless Strength”.  Every woman has an aggressive and free-spirited nature.  “Wolfe” represents the aggressive nature and “Christianson” represents the free-spirited characteristics.  It’s a new take on the contemporary “UPTOWN MANHATTANITE” or rebellious “UPTOWN CHIC”

Wolfe Christianson is a clothing collection that says “Effortless Strength” – the aggressive and feminine nature of a New York City woman.  WOLFE Christianson was born in New York City near Central Park South.  After designing for a number of New York based design houses, Taylor McGuire created a collection called “REAL LIFE”.  She believes that there is a New York City essence that embraced global culture.  She is constantly aware of her surroundings and of her friends, which are her central muses. This season Taylor was influenced in particular by her friends from a city called Paris.  “Paris like New York City and other cities like Los Angeles, provides so much incredible fashion inspiration.  BUT what I find to be the most inspiring is the STRENGTH & FEMININTY in the New York & Parisian woman.  It is about knowing what works for you.  The modern day woman requires quite a bit because the city changes from day to day.  It makes me want to just see more and more of this modern woman.”
