*STAR KILL-R JEANS*


You saw them in the last runway show. So here is the run down. "Star Kill-R", comes from two inspirations: First the character Starkiller, who is a total bad ass Jedi from the force unleashed video game. The character costumes were very inspiring. The second was what kills stars, like cleberites, Drinking, drugs, the hard life, shootings, bad media, even their own vanity.

So I made a collection of six differnt themed jean: "Nut House", "Drive By", "The Final Cut", "Punch Drunk", "Media Murder" and "Vanity Kills".

The Nut house, was about going crazy and being all strapped down(some people like that). Drive by, was a hard core look rettled with bullet holes and empty bullet casings. The final cut, was an artist version of a Kung Fu sword battle. Media Murder is all about the press and it muderous power and the jeans are filled with photos of celebrity scandal. The best for last, Vanity Kills, some slow, some quick. The jeans are like dieing in a hot pink blood bath after falling into the mirror, which jewl the jeans front and back.
The jeans will be made for interested clients on a one of a kind basis.
I took jeans from my models that they had worn out and I reworked them and made them Rockin! So if you have an old pain and wana turn them into something Kantankerous, let's do some business.

Post Show


Wow! Wow! and Wow! I am still recovering from the big event. I finished the fashion show and didn't know what to think. My brain was total mush. Lots of people where coming back stage and telling me how great the show was, and trying to talk some business. All I could do was pass them my card. Shows are always crazy backstage even with lots of prep. Hours before hand my mother, my right hand man, was sewing last minute alteration to a few garments. Jeff my backstage assistant was ridding the bus back home to get things that were left, and I was trying to unpack and line up 23 diffent looks on one rack.

My long time friend Greg Malone showed up to beat some faces and give my models some wild makeup. All my models showed up and were ready to work it for me. Some models I had worked with before and some new one. Also brought in some new face to give it their go on the runway. Meliane Blue, my Muse, Started, climaxed and finished my line. I knew she would Rock it out. Some of my models asked who gets to start it all off and I let them know....she is just that good, to be my begining, middle and end. All models though were great, with me tuggin them in one look, rippin them out and then into the next. They composed thems and looked fierce down the runway.

I couldn't have done it all without everyone. My mom sewing and construction with me the past two month, my dad helping to apply my jean logo, Emily and Jeff doing some fine hand work on the jeans, and Greg doing make up and helping me and Jeff get all the looks together backstage. My Friend from work, Joey Pobre came along to be my pesonal photographer.

Afterward we all went out for a few drinks with my other friend Greg who made it up from DC just to see my next crazy show. He loved it also. The next morning I think I could have stayed in bed all day. It was back to the Emergency Room that night to try and save some lives.
I didn't really know actually how it all went until I saw the pictures.
