I love the spring/summer 2010 trends...wearing lingerie as outerwear is a plus. Lingerie isn't just made for putting a smile on your lovers face, it is designed to make a woman feel good about herself to where she doesn't want to hide it underneath her clothes. Designer Majo Rey gives you that exact opportunity by creating flirtatious and vivid lingerie pieces that accentuates the beauty of a woman's body.
Majo Rey lingerie isn't your average black lace slip, the designer plays around with fun patterns while adding vibrant colors to the garment, and if lingerie isn't on your next shopping list then don't fret Majo Rey also has other goodies like swimwear, hoodies, and t-shirts for both men and women at www.majorey.com. What better way to please your lover by matching each other's style!

Rosie Music is an illustrator. Her beautiful watercolors just so happen to look amazingly cute and awesome on clothes and accessories.
She's 27 years old, from Mexico City, and her artistic ideas stem from here love of music, and themes of love and lonliness. She even has her vibrant watercolors available on natural paperbacked wood veneer, which gives her illustration a very warm, and textured feel. Her art evokes both, a general sense of happiness juxtaposed with the shy, vulnerable emotions of that first crush you had in grade school. Its the perfect recipie for cute, and stylish indie clothes.

Petra Isabelle is all about turning girls’ gams into glorious kaleidoscopic array of color. She has beeDesignern working with textiles in her hometown of Vienna, Austria for years, studying at the Academy of applied arts in Vienna, for that very reason. She learned various dying techniques to develop a style of manipulating textiles, twisting and contorting colors to the contours of the body.
She has been working on her lines of tights since 2004, but since then has really begun launching her lines on the Internet and getting her designs in shops under the name Pebelle, a combination of her first and last name. She says, being from a small country like Austria, its important to think of her lines of tights internationally. “Look across the border, try to reach the whole world, not just your neighbors.” Her dyeing is her art and life, reflecting on the people who wear them, their lives reflecting back into her work, turning fishnets into saturated snake-skins, tights into a torrent of color and pattern, socks into something interesting to look at. She does it a lot, and she does it well.

Tell him what you want, and he’ll turn your idea into killer custom kicks that are sure to catch stares. Check out his gallery of work and try to imagine what you would choose for your shoes!

Christina Neit knows her beads. Shes been doing them for a long time, and it shows. Her elaborate designs, jewelry draped in a mosaic of bead work, accenting stones, read like a auto-biography of an artist and her years of carefully, and diligently perfecting her craft. She says“Time is the key and often it takes time to be able to develop your own style.”Time has been kind to Christina, as she has turned her favorite past time as a girl into her own style of wearable, buyable artwork and self-expression. With time, shes gained the wisdom to develop her style and learn a lot about her business. “It is also an inner growth experience of finding yourself and what
pleases you and what please others. The broader you can be the broader your market as well.”

Where can people find your work?My work can be found at most Bead Fiesta shows and in person at Bead Fiesta The Shoppe in Sterling, MA. I do a variety of shows throughout the year, so it is really best to check out my ‘AGENDA’ on my website. I do some local shows and Renaissance Faires and have even done a few Pow Wow’s. I also have Etsy accounts, one for my work and one for my patterns/designs. My website, listed above, accesses everything.
Is there any advice you would give to upcoming designers? Network, network, network and never give up! You have to believe in yourself (sometimes that could take a long time to accomplish), but do not give up…persevere over any and all obstacles. I might also advise-quality over quantity. Do great work and be original. All items referred to as ‘unique’ may not in fact be so unique, know the difference.
How would you describe your artistic style? I think I tend to be the ‘ultimate eclectic’. I can never decide on anything (perhaps the indecisive Libra trait in me). I love all things that sparkle and I love things that are ‘earthy’. I try hard to consolidate my ideas to encompass elegance and earthy at the same time.
Where do you go to get Ideas? If I get ’stuck’ for ideas, I often just go online and look around, it is rare that I am stuck. I often feel overwhelmed with ideas and doubt I will ever finish everything that has crossed my mind. I get many ideas when I am ‘out and about’, but I am home almost 24/7. I can find enough ideas in my own environment and thanks to the internet to keep me satisfied for a lifetime plus!
Who influences you the most? music, Artist, Designer, Other? Why? I have a very long list of Artists and Designers (of many different venues) that inspire me. I am not influenced by any one person in particular.
Music has always inspired me!! It gets my mind going and can often set my mood. It is actually amusing that my work does not reflect alot of black and somber pieces, because I love heavy music to the sound of Metallica, Pantera, Tantric, Disturbed and go as light as Shinedown, Hinder, Nickelback. I should actually develop a line for ‘metal maniacs’
