Exploring Fashion - Bay Street Fashion

Exploring Fashion - Fashion Journalists Week 2

Yesterday, we started Week 2 of our Exploring Fashion Camp.  Our group (see above) spent the morning of watching "Bill Cunningham - New York", a documentary about a Fashion photographer in NYC who rides around on his bicycle  taking pictures of fashion on the Street.  Afterwards, these young fashion bloggers went to Bay Street in Emeryville where we spotted trends, hot colors and some pretty awesome accessories.  See below for a taste of their favorites.

This lovely lady had a great studded ring and gorgeous BRIGHT Orange nails.  One of the Hot colors for the season for sure!

 

She had matching studded shoes that she decorated herself.

Neon was the Uber trend of the moment along with color blocking neon as you can see in the shoe above ( at Steve Madden) and the Window below (LoLa)

Cool combo of printed blouse and lace shorts!

 Love his bag! &lt's Bright Orange!

More candy coated colors at Williams Sonoma.

                                                          Neon is sooo in!!!!!!!!  :)

The Gumballs carried the theme and were fun to look at.

                                           This is so COOL! Look at the beautiful pink paint!
                                           I wonder if they got my message?.......

We love the nails and phone cover!

Exploring Fashion - Emery Street Visit

 Here is our group at Emery Street - the studio of Susan Weeks.  Susan designs and manufactures knit dresses for Chico's, Boston Proper, Lesley Evers and Celebrating Grace.  In our visit she explained her process, showed us some of her designs and gave us a fabulous tour of her studio. 

 

Susan along with her daughter Claire and Claire's friend created several hand made note books for each of the girls to take home along with Susan's favorite mechanical pencil.   Susan also teaches Fashion Illustration at UC Davis, so we were in for a treat when she showed the girls a few of her techniques.

We would like to extend a big Thank you to Susan for this unique experience.  You can find out more about what Susan Does at www.emerystreet.com.
