exciting career that many people only dream about.

Design by Louis de Gama

There are many fashion design career paths for you to

choose from. Some fashion designers work for top

houses such as Tommy Hilfiger and Chanel. Others

are employed by mass-market manufacturers of men's,

women's and children's apparel. children's

Or you could start your own fashion design business,

establishing a distinctive style and overseeing fashion

creation from initial concept to manufacturing and distribution.

In this field, there is a long history of people rising from

humble beginnings to become fashion designer stars.

• Laura Ashley got her start as a secretary.
• Vera Wang began designing when she became engaged at age 39 and couldn't find a suitable wedding gown for the mature first bride.
• Ralph Lauren was born into a middle-class family who lived in the Bronx, and used to buy suits with his pocket money at age 12. He is now one of the richest and most famous fashion designers in the world.

Of course, it takes hard work, creativity, and a true passion for

fabulous designs to achieve success as a fashion designer,

but you can break into this career much more quickly and easily

Product of the Day!

Doing a double feature today! Because well, I like both of the products...

Company: Blomus
Location: Germany
Materials: Stainless Steel
Description: Blomus aims to harmonise form and function to create special products for everyday life. For Blomus design is not an end in itself but an important part of everyday life.

One of our favorite wine tools with long wine pull, foil knife and bottle opener - all in one. And, the weight of the stainless steel makes it seem like you spent a whole lot more!

This is the most heavy duty bottle opener I have ever held. I just know that it would work amazingly. It has a cap opener, cork opener and a small knife to peel off the seal.

One of our favorite party gifts! Stainless steel cheese slicer with an extra slicing cord.

This product is the one I have seen the most people buy. I don't really understand it. Wait, yes I do! Cutting cheese with a knife can be frustrating!

White Lunette is a sewn fiberglass paper lampshade that clips onto a bare light bulb. Lunette can be used as a ceiling, wall or table fixture.

I love simple solutions to big problems. Granted, a bare light bulb is not the end of the world, but it is always amazing to be able to cover up something ugly and make it pretty!... We have lots of these in the store so come on in or if you can't make it, check them out online as well.

Simple hanging terrarium with rocks and airplant inside. Made by a local artist in Portland, Oregon. Martie Kilmer of Space Design Botanicals.

These are awesome! Martie just brought in some new hanging terrariums last week that will be hung in the store. So pretty and calming to look at!

Brand: Jonathan Langston
Artist: Jonathan Langston
Location: Portland, Oregon

Jonathan Langston is an alumni of the Oregon College of Art and Craft. His studio is located at the Ford Building in SE Portland. Jonathan begins with a 2D design on paper. Each form is first hand-thrown. A mold is then taken of the original to be used for slip casting, allowing Jonathan to work with duplicates. This process provides opportunity to alter each piece individually while staying true to the original form. The vessels become uniformly distinct.

*All of these vases at first glance seem similar, but when you look closely each one has their own characteristics! Actually, Jonathan just came in the store and brought in some more vases, pink and blue ones to be exact. My favorite is that pewter one on the right!

Her work is made from brushed aluminum, stainless steel,

Her work is seriously beautiful. Clean lines, simple designs with a huge

What can I say, these are so pretty! Some of the most unique ceramic ware I have seen. I love the bold colors and how they are offset by their white exteriors. And using a pastry bag to make the spikes? Genius!


Brand: Leah Nobilette
Artist: Leah Nobilette
Location: Portland, Oregon

Work: hand-made ceramics in 2006. Functional and food-safe, yet beautifully designed ceramic bowls with a spikey exterior, extruded through a pastry bag! Great as a gift, centerpiece or nested in color.
