Marchesa is Realeza

This Duo's designs were literally breathtaking all exquisitely wrought this season with orientalist-inspired details: heavily bejeweled necklines, hand-painted florals on rolling sculptural drapes, and grand obilike loops. Geogina Chapman and Karen Craig knock me out every time. This collection was my favorite. With out a doubt. I want them all!

A Fish Hotel or a Condo?

The Fish Hotel

I just had to tell you all about my fab fish hotel. My dear friend Tracy got one and I wanted one too. My kids had so much fun with putting it together and it goes so well with my home decor. The fish bowl is exactly one gallon but here I am displaying two of them stacked together. My eldest son named his fish Oscar, and youngest named his Swimmy. So cute!

This design is by Teddy Luong for Umbra, he  is a student at Carlton University's School of Industrial Design, this design won the Canadian build a better competition. Now I own one too,. You can find it at Unica Home

I typically design for younger clients, under 25 years old. More girls than women. I would describe her as fun, quirky, and a little bit on the insane side. What are some of your accomplishments as a designer?


Interning at Heatherette was an amazing experience. Have shown at fashion events across the country, as well as competed in St. Louis, “project design” a showcase for emerging designers 2 years in a row. Who are some of your favorite designers?


My favorite designer of all time is John Galliano. I also love flamboyant and experimental labels like Jeremy Scott, and NYC fashion designers “The Blonds” Where can readers buy your clothes?

Heatherette What are some of your favorite clothing stores/catalogs/websites?

I consider my designs to be more art than fashion. Oftentimes conceptual runway pieces are my favorites.






FB. What's your favorite part about conceptualizing a design?


My favorite part is imagining my muse wearing the design, asking those questions, “who is this person?” and “Where is she going”, that’s my favorite part because it is all about dreaming and using your imagination.


FB.What matters to you most as a fashion designer?


AJ. What matters to me most is that people are excited about my designs. I don’t care if people love it or hate it as long as they have a reaction.




FB. Has your design esthetic changed during the show?


I certainly found a new side to my aesthetic, I wouldn’t say that it has changed, but it is certainly more well rounded than before. The clothes I am making now show much more variety than before. How has Project Runway affected your life?


Project Runway has changed everything. Life now is full of opportunities that only a few months ago would have been impossible.

Yes, I am very good friends with Casanova, Sarah, Micheal D. and April.

AJ. I love Casanova’s designs because they are so over the top. I also think that April and Mondo have really fun and exciting work.




FB. Who do you think is you biggest competitor on the show?


AJ. Mondo was definitely competition for me because we both draw inspiration from similar places., and Valerie was someone who made it clear right off the bat that she really wanted to win.




FB. How are your friends reacting to your appearance on the show?


AJ. All of them have been incredibly proud and supportive




FB. Have you had any other type of contact (like socializing) with the judges?


AJ. The only contact I have had was what you see on the show.




FB. After the show what are your plan with your business?


AJ. I am looking to launch an online store, and of course looking to collaborate with other designers.






FB. What would you do if you win?


I’m out now, so I guess I’ll just have to dream about what I would have done. J

FB Do you Google your name?


AJ. Of course, it’s hard to resist






Any last words?


I’m just simply excited and humbled that people enjoy my work. It gives me energy to keep designing.

I love when my friend are interested to learn the craft.
Here is Jose learning to polish.

I am so lucky to be visited by my friends from Puerto Rico.

 Jose is a very good friend and fan of my jewelry. So he decided he needed to know how it's done. Ive always love teaching. Before I became a metal smith/jewelry designer. I was a High School History teacher. I love teach is the only way to pass the craft forward and it makes me feel good. As well let my clients and friends know that my work is not just Glitz and Glamour. You really need to get down dirty. I love it!
