we're all about.....
the voltage fashion show is less than 2 weeks away, and as bonnie and i are reviewing our collection, doing model fittings, and making sure everything looks beautiful, we are constantly reminding ourselves of our original design intent. i thought i’d take this opportunity to share with you, our internet fans, what we’re all about.
bonnie and i became friends a little over a year ago. we were partnered up on a project at work, and it just clicked. we began to feed off of each other’s ideas and inspire one another. bonnie studied fashion design at virginia commonwealth university, and also did a study abroad at central st martins in london. i studied furniture design at savannah college of art and design. we found that our different design backgrounds complimented each other.
we both bicycle everywhere we can, and it has become a central part of our lifestyle. we became roommates…and our lives we even more intertwined. when voltage applications were released in september, bonnie decided she wanted to design a line. i kept throwing ideas at bonnie until she invited me (or i invited myself) to be part of the whole thing. we called ourselves “2709” after the address of our home and studio.
our spring 2009 line is desgined for women who use bicycles for transportation. we want to provide them with clothing that is comfortable on a bike and off of a bike. A 2709 girl can pedal wearing are garments all over town…working, shopping, socialing…
…so don’t expect to see any floor length gowns from us…..expect to see functional, comfortable, and fashionable garments, ready to be added to your everyday wardrobe.
it’s spring……ride your bicycle!
