one of the things that surprised me about social media…was the connections…and much more than that…the friendships that have been formed…some of these wonderful people i have had the opportunity to meet face to face…and some…although we’ve never met face to face…i feel like we’ve been friends forever…kind of strange…no? but in fact…tis true…
one of these extraordinary people that social media gave me the fabulous honor of knowing…is stacy lomman…we ALMOST met face to face…the last time i was in new york…but…it ended up being a week before her FIRST collection being shown at fashion week…i would say…she was a wee bit busy…and NO time for socializing…
which brings me to this post…one thing (among many) that i so admire about stacy…is that she is following her dream…her designer’s dream…(btw…i highly recommend clicking on that link you just passed…and read her story…and see pics of the first collection…) now where was i…oh yes…and…she is a woman after my own heart…in that…she isn’t letting obstacles get in the way of her dream…
so what type of obstacles would a new designer have? people…there is SO much that goes into a collection…let alone the runway…you’ve got to think about fabrics…oh and photographers…models…the list goes on and on and on…but that didn’t stop stacy…she looked into kickstarter…a way for people to fund projects…and it worked…her spring 2010 collection was shown at fashion week last year…and now here she is…ready to plunge into the 2nd collection…of many many more to come…this one…the fall 2011 collection…YOU can be a part of…and who wouldn’t want to help bring beautiful clothing into the world? what is great about it…is it could be any amount…because any amount truly does help…so…if you are able…let’s help launch stacy lomman : new york fall 2011…click on the kickstarter link above…and forward to your fashion lovin friends…
