Yes, I might be a professional fashion designer, but my mission is all about YOU.
I wanna make YOU the creative designer so you can feel the ecstatic high of expressing YOUR personality while DIY’ing stunning couture bags and clothes for yourself – while also saving the planet.
If you secretly dream of Zara, or even Chanel, being your personal walk-in closet, then I totally get it.
Imagine the feel of a magenta silk dress against your bare thigh or the cozy warmth of a pure cashmere sweater adorned with amethysts and deep black pearls. Precious textiles and luscious garments can feel like the meaning of life.
BUT – if you’re like me, then your dreams of exquisite bags and dresses have been crushed by recent revelations of how the fashion industry is devastating the earth.
Now, I can’t even get a new pair of socks without feeling guilty about taking part in this vicious system.
STILL – How were any of us to know?
It’s not as if there ever was a big warning side at the entrance of the mall.
And I didn’t even know the dirty truth back when I was a fashion industry designer.
The good news is that fashion didn’t invent color and beauty.
Bright orange poppies and sapphire blue hummingbirds delighted us way before anyone thought it was a good idea to poison the planet by producing an endless stream of cheap polyester clothes.
The industry did not invent bewitching fabrics and feminine allure.
They simply exploited them to make money at the expense of Mother Nature.
Let’s reclaim ownership of beauty, color, and clothes.
Let’s reclaim fashion by making it ourselves.
Let me show you how YOU can become a creative and compassionate designer, stylist, and eco-fashionista.
Because there is a way for you to get your fashion fix so you can look and feel gorgeously refreshed and renewed, and also care for koalas and polar bears.
Let me help you REDESIGN existing clothes and turn them into stunning new pieces.
You can easily sew them yourself OR simply hire your local tailor.
But, Stella. How do you know all this?
I’m an award-winning professional designer, stylist, and design teacher with 5 years of fashion school and 25 years of experience.
I have designed for more than 25 brands in 5 different countries, have been a Fashion Week stylist, and styled rock stars for TV.
- My training with Parisian couturiers taught me how to design stunning pieces with a touch of luxe.
- Teaching hundreds of style and fashion students showed me how to make sewing and design simple so that YOU can successfully make your own pretty clothes and bags without a lot of hassle.
- Redesigning my own wardrobe has given me a gazillion heartwarming compliments from tall handsome strangers – and boy, does it feel good to tell them I actually made those gorgeous pieces in a way that helps preserve the rainforest. You can get that too.
So, let’s get together doing something fun, creative, sustainable, and 100 % meaningful.
You’ll feel the exhilarating thrill of:
- Learning new and exciting skills.
- Getting into the flow state and becoming totally absorbed in creative play.
- Feeling incredibly accomplished when you finally have a gorgeous bag or garment as proof that you truly are a fashion designer.
