Emerging Designers Finale:
Paloma Soledad
Paloma Soledad's corsets, gracefully embrace the beautiful curves of every woman, each piece invigorated by unique vintage hardware, exquisite fabrics and the finest leathers. She relishes every detail by fusing antique features with a modern-day sensibility. Her skills as a Costume Designer have also appeared worldwide in motion pictures. --Paloma Soledad label statement
Janeane Marie
My Spring/Summer 2010 collection is inspired by the climate and colors and mood of Northwest coastal Indian tribes imagery. This collection has more flow and drape than my previous work, but there are still the angles and shapes that I love in many of the pieces. I wanted it to remain modern, with a contrast/balance between the curves and drape and angles and tailoring." --Janeane Marie, designer
Sweet Skins
"Sweet Skins is a line of organic apparel by west coast-born designer Mira Fannin. The collection is made entirely from organic materials; hemp linen, silk, organic cotton knits and denim. From conception to construction, Sweet Skins line is made here in Oregon." --Mira Fannin, Sweet Skins
