Quoth the Raven...

What happens when the head twirling words of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" meets high fashion? I'd say a nostalgic and quite haunting collection!

Welcome!

I am Jorge Alvarez, a fashion student hailing from the San Francisco Bay area. The arts, beyond Fashion, have always been one of my very big interests. I recently came to notice that designing and presenting collections wasn't enough to get my foot in the door, I had to reach my thoughts out to others and try to make connections! My passions lye way beyond just cutting and sewing a garment, they extend to beauty, exploring culture, as well as just having a damn good times with friends! This blog represents just that.
