Finals, finals, finals

I'm nearing the end of my program at Parsons, three weeks and counting! Although I'm only part-time, completing 4 finals still manages to take up all of my time.. but thankfully I've been really happy with how everything is turning out. I had no idea until I made this post that everything was pink and gray! Oh well :)

Left -- my construction 3 final is done!
Right -- in progress work for my couture final

Above - I'm using the leftover pink linen from my couture project to make a personalized iPad case for my portfolio

A part of me is really going to miss school, but then again, no. The third time is a charm...I believe I have enough degrees now :)

One of my favorite thing about fashion design (besides the actual finished product) is the designer's sketches! Yours are lovely :)

Loving every single detail. You are an great, great designer. I'd love to wear something made by you, but alas, I am a poor postdoc with little $. If I lived in NY I'd definitely love to go to Parsons for a degree. Congrats and best of luck with your finals.

How beautiful! Kudos to you on going back to school... I have two degrees in photography (from back in the ancient days of film) but have dreamed of going to FIT or Studio Jewelers for a metalsmithing/jewelry degree... maybe one day!

I love the ipad case idea - and the designs are absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations on being almost finished with school! I can relate... three months to go until my own graduate degree is finished, and it can't come soon enough!

Love that cover. Simplicity at it's best :)

So pretty and elegant! I remember when I was finishing my collection...ah that was so much fun!!! Many sleepless nights and a feeling of great accomplishment once I saw it on the runway. I would wear that dress in a heartbeat.
