Sugar Coated

i was talking to my friend at work catching up whats going on with school as both of us are part time students. she goes to ryerson university as a design student (i go to seneca at york univ for industrial pharma). last weekend they have a fashion show to show their creation... titled 'sugar coated' held at ryerson university. anyways, here's a part of our chat conversation over AIM:

kendra: so have you gone to the new starbux at strachan?
ME : oh not yet.
kendra: shit. you don't drink kawfee do u?
ME: nope but i like their teas and apple cider.
kendra: i love their coffe. they kick the liberty cafe's ass.
ME: haha. back home in the philippines we never had tim hortons but star bucks is in every corner so im kinda used to their product i even like their place its more relaxing and u can study.
kendra: yah, and free internet. that is a dress from the fashion show on sat. i love it. here's my dress.
ME: oh nice!
kendra: but, for the record, the model needed bigger titties!
ME: haha! how do you describe the dress?
kendra: it is made out of peau de soie satin and is a fitted dress with cut outs around the neckling neckline.
ME: are you into this material? how do you source your material?
kendra: the fabric? after work on a saturday when I m exhaused i hit queen street and look for the cheapest possible. my inspiration came from Stain glass of the scottish interior designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife.
ME: how did you come across this artist / designer? from school? or personal readings...
kendra: yah, from school. and then i did a report.
ME: if this dress will go into mainstream, how much do you think it will cost?
kendra: hmm...i woudl use silk instead of polyester satin and charge $125.







"i would have to say that I learnt a lot sewing the dress but I m sick of looking at it.
and i hope it enjoys the back of my closet. ha! ha!"
