Last winter, I joined a contest in class and the main rule is that we had to use this knit fabric for our design. Since I was in the middle of finishing up my draft for my final jacket, I decided to join the contest so I could hit two birds with one stone(Use the free fabric as my jacket fabric for class since I was still unsure on what fabric I wanted to use. Plus, I could get cool prizes if I won). It was a very cool challenge because it had a lot of firsts for me. I didn't win the contest, but I really enjoyed making this jacket (I definitely learned a lot from this one) and I'm totally in love with it.
Gilda Ambrosio is a designer and a street style maven that I've been following for quite some time now. She has this vintage meets urban vibe going on and she mixes the right amount of a tomboy-ish yet girly feel in her outfits. I feel like she is the perfect example of an all-around cool girl.
Here are some of my favorite Gilda Ambrosio looks:
