Last week, my leather class went over to the Special Collections of the FIT library to look at some of Bonnie Cashin's original sketchbooks.

Bonnie Cashin was a designer who started her career in the 1950s. She was known for using leather in unexpected ways.

this is Bonnie Cashin in 1960. seeing this photo made me laugh because one of the jokes-that-is-actually-true in fashion illustration is that everyone draws girls that look like themselves. Miss Bonnie was no exception. |

Now I'm off to have my ideal Sunday-- Petco to pet the cats, then buying yarn for my senior collection, then getting a macaron, then coming home and sewing for the rest of the day.
