Emily Rose, the interview

Today I have something special made for you, an interview. Not long ago I went by a lovely newly launched online shop Emily Rose, became charmed by the styles and decided to tell you about in best possible way: making an interview.

1 how did Emily Rose start? Why did you decide to turn your art into fashion?
 
I have always been into art, drawing painting, sculpting, and photography. I just love creating! I studied art education at Long Island University in New Yorkto become an art teacher. My first year of teaching I was required to teach fashion, I had to teach myself and I found the art of fashion inspirational. My website originally started as my online art portfolio just to showcase my art. I created my website myself by watching lots of tutorials, I was not trained in web development. I always thought it would be cool to mass produce something since it makes it more affordable for other to make purchases than to buy my original pieces. I looked around the internet for print on demand shops and used a trial and error process to see which one was right for me. I landed on Printful (prinful.com) to help produce my products. I started with an etsy shop and it was great to begin with but it only lasted about a week until I decided to sell through my own website. I chose to do this because I had a lot more control over the features, set-up, and management, for example starting my affiliate program. I created everything myself, from the branding, logo, website, social media, marketing, and I am always learning and improving!
2 what was the first Emily Rose product?
 
This was the first Emily Rose product created. Originally I was asked to do this piece for a nonprofit exhibition. This was originally a 10 inch drawing of a frog using markers and pencils on a wood panel. The original piece sold and the money went toward the North Fork Environmental Council in Long Island.

3 where do you find inspiration for artwork? How do you decide it’s fit for the shop?

I find inspiration everywhere! I just keep creating and if I like the piece, I put it in my shop. I think I would describe my artwork as fun and surreal. I heard a great quote once “Don’t make art your life, live a great life and make art about it.” That is how I choose to live. I have great experiences, and what I create is subconsciously influenced by it. I love to travel and meet people. I have been to multiple countries in Europe, China, and Israel so far.
4 what is your favorite thing/object to work on illustrations for fashion items? I see a lot of animals

I love creating portraits. I create many portraits of people in black and white acrylic. I notice my Rapper Face Mask have been really popular. I also lately have been painting lots of rainbow animals. I enjoy making them because I think they are fun a unique. I think that my art is always changing and evolving. I think faces tell a story. Even in the animals I paint, I think each one has a personality of its own. I put myself into everyone of my artworks.

5 does teaching help to boost you creativity? Do you students wear you styles?

This is a great question. Teaching is inspiring. Being an art teacher and seeing the creativity helps me stay current and think creatively. At this time my students do not know about my shop because we just launched. However I always show them my artwork to inspire them, to show them the possibilities, and push them to the next level. Having taught fashion design, I think I have more of the expressive and eccentric students that have interesting and unique styles that definitely influence my views of fashion and what it can be.


6 It’s little something I ask everyone I take interviews of: people say that talented in art, fashion and/or design kids modify their toys and remaking the dolls costumes as their first experiments. My hairdresser for example made new stylish haircuts to all of her dolls in a hour time when she was five. Did you do something alike? and if you did, what was it?

I was always extremely artistic as a child. My dad felt that drawing was just as important as reading and writing and encouraged me in the arts. I was always painting and drawing, and I loved drawing people. I was never really that good skill wise as a child. I was not a prodigy artist. However, I had the motivation and drive to learn and hone my skills overtime. I then began digital photography when I was 10 with my first point and shoot camera. This developed my artistic eye for composition, color, values, etc.. I then used these skills to conquer other artistic mediums moving to drawing, then paint and eventually sculptures, through applying previous knowledge.

  1. These products look amazing, I love the art style. And how wonderful that the frog design got sold and the money went to environmental causes, that makes the business even more amazing. Thanks for sharing their interview, it's lovely to hear how others start and develop their business.

  2. I hope the items can be easily reused or taken back for upcycling. There is so much fast fashion and textile waste happening.

    1. I think so. also when you buy basic items with unique arts you can not call it fast fashion

Explore Starcon

I'm going to brake up vacation post series to share the Starcon experience. A week ago I was sitting on the same spot and getting ready to go. We've been to lovely Saint  Petersburgh. We managed to have a charming walk in the  evening even right after the con. Starcon was all about sci-fi and we loved it so much. We even wore the Jedi costumes (wait for them in the end of post). Max, my lovely husband, sewed them for only 3 days (that's why the design is so simple). and I also got 2d place in Star Wars Miniatures board game tournament took place there. I'm so happy! As for outfit - I've chosen a super comfy outfit with a very cool pants! I bought them on ebay and they are more than 20 year old pants (I guess soon they could buy booze on their own but I doubt I need it). I love them for their shape - keeping me cool during hot and warm when needed. Oh, and can I also call it my pijama pants trend pants? or not? What I also wanted to mention you are my fab set jewel

МКММ + Couture Fashion Show

So! I am so very excited! I have visited my first real actual fashion show ever since March and I couldn’t ever be happier. It’s just wow! This time I visited MKMM final shows merged with Couture Fashion Show later that night. I had a chance to see many wonderful shows by young and talented designers and enjoyed it a lot. Creativity everywhere. Something is purely catwalk (and I totally don’t mind it at all), something that is very easy to imagine rushing the streets, something very creative and futuristic and making a statement with so much in between. Overall in love. I don’t think I really can be picky because after all those digital shows real made a huge impression on me. It almost as if I am visiting my first ever fashion show but better because I know what to expect. I think you are not reading this and already scrolled past this point and enjoy the contestants. And don’t blame you at all.  RU: Прекрасные новости! Мой первый настоящий офлайн показ с марта месяца. И он оказася пр

The Big day inspiration

Today is a big day for my husband's family. It's his sister's wedding day. Crazy huh? She used to be his little sister and now she's getting married! I'm sure we'll have a lot of joy on the event but before that I wanted to share some inspirational content with you! Lets imagine you're accompanying me to the wedding party! To provide you with that feeling I teamed up with a new shop to me. I didn't know about it before but now I'd say it's a shame. Lovely choices! Are you ready to know how it's called? I hope you are! So the shop is called Jjshouse     They have tons of wonderful styles! I was so happy to look through the options! Too many not to become overjoyed! Sooo good! But I wanted to pick something interesting for today. I'm not saying anything bad with my choice but the section I loved the most on wedding collection part is mother of the bride dresses  To inspire you and show you the lovely styles stolen my heart I'll gonna sh
