Granni Wear
Granni founder Cathy Goodin has always been a creative. A granny herself, she stays busy making handmade clothes for her four grandchildren.
But after years of creating as a hobby, Cathy decided to form Granni — a brand dedicated to slow fashion while still being one of the most affordable options on the market.
For this photoshoot, I took the lead as both Stylist and Creative Director for the launch of their new Vest Collection. The vision was to capture a candid, effortlessly cool vibe that resonated with a younger audience while amplifying the brand’s recent social media buzz. I curated the looks by pairing the collection with meticulously chosen pieces, creating distinct personalities for each model—striking the perfect balance between individuality and keeping the focus on the vests themselves.

A Needle In Time
When an adopted woman discovers a vinyl record with time-traveling powers, she embarks on a journey to uncover her enigmatic past.
On this film I lead the wardrobe/costumes department. I styled and organized all wardrobe for the characters depicted in this film. Which included listening to the director and production designer on the vision on the film, and then work within the actors wardrobe to fit that vision. Parts of the story took place in 1996, so part of my responsibilities also included intense research into that era in clothing.

Body Haven: Wet'n'Wild Runway Show
Body Haven is a club at Columbia College Chicago that focuses on Body Positivity and Fat Liberation. Every year we put on a size-inclusive fashion show, themed in a way of reclamation.
For the Body Haven Spring Fashion Show, I styled 5 models. I took inspiration from old Bratz movies combined with the Little Mermaid. I wanted to explore Disney love twisted into a Bratz style. Also exploring the different sides between sirens and mermaids. Also planning all of their makeup, hair and accessories. I worked within the comfort of my models as well as the theme of the show. Utilizing both pieces I own, and pieces the models owned.
Le Renaît: Picture Perfect Spring Fashion Show
For Picture Perfect, a Columbia College Chicago organization's Spring Runway Show Renaissance themed. I was tasked with styling nine models on theme. Using both their owned clothing as well as any repurposed pieces I owned.
My styling inspirations came from famous paintings and movement in clothing itself. Paintings such as Dan Gerhartz's Wrapped In Light, Bruno Di Maio's The Golden Shadow Mother or The Swing which is a painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. The repurposing of a pair of orange MC Hammer Pants to be a pair of balloon sleeves or transforming two curtains into capes. The goal behind this line was to use unordinary objects and repurpose them. Creating fluid movement and eye catching designs.
Filmed in Cinemascope: Runway Show
For Body Haven's second annual Fashion Show, the theme was "Old Hollywood". Body Haven reclaimed Classic Hollywood where only one kind of body was seen as beautiful.
For this show besides being the show coordinator I also styled 2 models on this runway. My goal was to utilize their owned clothing to put together a look that radiated elegance and luxury. For the model photographed on the left (model: El C Concepcion) My goal was to emulate a Rosalind Russell wardrobe piece. Using a unique monochrome palette. For the look on the right (model: Elizabeth Daramola) was elegant simplicity. Using the black fitted dress along with a pink floral headscarf I believe we achieved that perfectly.
