Fashion Incubator-I♡U

Just wanted to post a link to the most informative garment production site on the planet! Have fun getting lost in all of the industry ins and outs! I learn something new everyday from the amazing Kathleen Fasanella and her team. Seriously...this is the place to go for technical questions about navigating the intense processes and serious jargon that is found in US manufacturing.

Garment Graffiti

Thomas Voorn, a Dutch Renaissance man/artist/designer makes Garment Graffiti. He leaves (his) clothes in public spaces transforming it into remarkable artistic urban signs, robust and fragile at the same time. As found on scienceofthetimes.com. This man is terrific! Garment graffiti is the wave of the future! It works for me...aerosol cans are bad for the ozone and this for of graffiti is much easier to read.

TEXTILITA

If you hear a buzzing noise...don't be alarmed, it's me

Portland Garment Factory was married to outer SE Stark and after a short honeymoon, is back with a renewed sense of self, wide eyed and eager to dig needles into thread and get some proverbial dirt under the nails if you know what I mean! 

The showroom has busied itself by making friends with Yokoo Knits, Stephanie Simek accessories and Dawn Sharp's clothing delights, among other things....she's very busy... 

Remember the babies

Sometimes when I look into the sweet eyes of a baby I get an overwhelming sensation that tells me this baby knows more than any one of us can imagine. Is it possible that babies are born with all the knowledge humans can hold? And rather than learning throughout life, we some how unlearn and then build it up age with age...like a reverse bell curve?
Well understand me or not, this notion is the inspiration behind my children's clothing line, Babooshka (Russian for gram'ma). Please peak at my website...I am dusting off the cobwebs of this little gem of a project and will have more items to add when the Portland Garment Factory Wearable Showroom opens!
xoxox child/gramma at heart, Britt

Stark Street, meet Portland Garment Factory

Not too shabby, eh? We are excited to bring the factory to the people with clothing hot off the assembly line! So much to do! We look forward to the opening reception and anniversary party later this fall. We will commence the big move on July 28th! XOXO, PGF
