Savannah Red and Handmade Nation
20 Sep
Last week, my friend Anslee had a fashion show where she debuted the gorgeous clothing she designs and makes. Her clothing/design company is Savannah Red. Many of her dresses are retro/’50s inspired and are made from found or re-purposed materials. This means, one dress could be made from an old sheet, another from what was once a vest, etc. I was so impressed with her lovely dresses, and so excited that she is doing what she loves! I wish her so much success!!
On another, yet somewhat similar note, I went to the Alamo to see Handmade Nation, this awesome documentary about the crafting, do-it-yourself, handmade movement in the U.S. It was fun to see a lot of the designers and artists I follow on Design*Sponge. I love seeing people doing what they love, creating lovely things, and then finding a way to sustain themselves this way.
