Rock Dollie Fall Photo Shoot

I can't tell you how excited I was to finally have another Rock Dollie photo shoot!! I spent most of this year working on my Muryl Jean collection that I had put Rock Dollie on the back burner, but not anymore!!!

Most of these looks were created using recycled materials that I found at a local thrift store. I purchased a few 1970's vintage suits and recreated a few outfits of my own from them. I even used some vintage floral prints as well to add a little color into this line.

I've always been inspired by vintage styles, patterns, and prints. And looking at these photos, I think you can get a sense of that 70's influence. There's just something about recreating a piece from the past and merging it into modern day fashion that I absolutely love. After all fashion does have a history of repeating itself, and vintage trends do make their way back and become fashionable again.

Rock Dollie was created to be one of a kind. I don't repeat patterns and prints, and each piece is created to be the only kind of its existence. I feel that this line is more authentic that way. Each design has value being one of a kind, and I love that concept about Rock Dollie. -Amber

RAW Chicago Fashion Show

I had an absolute blast in Chicago for my latest Raw fashion show!! It was by far the best Raw show I've been a part of. Everything from the people I worked with to how the show ran; it was a great showcase! I can't thank everyone enough for making that night such an awesome experience!

I really enjoy traveling to these shows because it allows me to meet so many talented people who are trying to do the same thing I'm doing. They're trying to make their dreams and passions into their careers. This is what I really love about RAW; these shows allow all of us to come together and showcase our best works as we collaborate and network with one another. I've been really fortunate to have met so many wonderful people at these shows. I've gained so many contacts at these events. It's also very inspiring to see other people chasing down their dreams. To everyone I've met at all my RAW shows..never give up! You inspire me to keep doing what I'm doing!!

As a designer, I'm still in those early stages of trying to brand my business and just make as many contacts as possible. I still have quite a few goals I need to reach by the end of this year so I'll be focusing most of my time on those. I'm hoping to have another photo shoot for new designs as well as a few promotional videos. I also want to put more time into Rock Dollie since most of this year was dedicated to the Muryl Jean Collection. I'm thinking about submitting for a LA show so fingers crossed on that! Hoping to showcase new Rock Dollie designs in the spring sometime... so keep an eye out for those things! 

As always, I'm so grateful for the support and kind words from everyone!! My mom is always telling me how people from back home are always asking how I'm doing. That means so much to me! Knowing that people care and support my dream puts a huge smile on my face. It's very endearing, and I appreciate it so much. Thank you!
