Hey It's Me,

ANNA

Hello and welcome to my ideas, thoughts, creations, and business :) A current fashion student at Syracuse University, I have been designing and sewing since the ripe age of 8. Through adolescence as a military brat, I've experienced and been influenced by fashion around the world, and hope to 

become part of it. Stay tuned to this website to see my latest projects, fashion thoughts, and available reconstructions to old clothes. Hopefully this creative outlet satisfies my mother by giving her proof that I can do stuff...

I've always loved thrift store scavenging - I can see fashion potential in nearly every crappy t-shirt or pair of old blue jeans. A significant portion of my closet consists of thrift or vintage store finds that I altered in some way to fit my style. Consequently, I have so many unique pieces in my wardrobe that aren't available in stores, and I guess people have noticed... Many friends as well as instagram 

followers ask me "where'd you get that?!" "can you make me one?" "how'd you do that?"  

 

Aside from my thrift store clothing reconstruction past-time, I enjoy collaborating with other creatives on various projects. From photoshoots to fashion videos to costume design, I am involved in many projects on and off campus. I frequently combine my love of collaborative work with my passion for fashion and styling. This results in modeling opportunities, makeup competitions, photography 

projects, magazine shoots, and countless other forms of creative work. I hope to expand my network and portfolio through working with and for other young creatives.
