Both are hard days. Not hard, but like every time I introduce myself whether it's B or C, I always have to repeat.
Oh, it's just speaking with an F or B, like B one another way. I don't know.
I always have to like say this and in my last year of course I always have to do it again.
But, I don't know. Yeah, it's all the same.
I used to, when I decided to make it in fashion, I was like, I'm sure I built the right thing.
I definitely just know what to do, but when I joined fashion, I started working in fashion shows.
I was like, hey, I like this. This seems like an issue, you know.
It's kind of the good stepping stone into the, yeah, I'm doing the right thing. I built it.
So I didn't know how to sew for a community.
So, Karen's a Hero 1 class with a class where I learned to sew and the first thing I made was a t-shirt.
So I like, I mean, I bought like, well, yeah, I used to knit fabric and made my own t-shirt and that was like the first thing I made.
My favorite like fresh garment that I ever made were a pair of jeans.
They're a little high-waisted, but they turned out really good. They had like a little vinyl black back pocket pattern.
I really wanted to work with leather, so I already knew that by then.
The show was really good. Yeah.
Because it's one of the biggest shows in the nation, I believe.
It's like $5,000 in attendance, so I feel like people are also there to look at the production and to see how great it is and I don't want people to walk away.
Oh, that was good. That was worth the, it's probably like an hour-long show, so.
All right, Karen, do you happen to know the call time?
Say that again?
Do you happen to know the call time?
Our call time?
I don't know. All I was told was you have to be down there at 3 o'clock. She's driving you there.
I don't know if I'll be able to drive there. I think there's mirrors and everything.
Perfect.
Five, four, three, two, one.
You're watching Leigh Austin Love.
Thank you, Jason and Betty. Good afternoon, everyone.
Today, Austin's police chief, Art Acevedo, apologized to a man whose dog was shot at death.
All right, the 40 acres plus 120 designs in men's and women's wear equals a fun and free fashion show.
And we have the three designers, well, three of the designers who will actually be showing off their collections at the fashion show.
Will they want to see the first model now doing that? Tell us, what are your creations?
Yes, so this is the first one from my collection that will be shown this Thursday.
And my collection will be inspired by a book that I have published there and got the artist.
So you can see here we have a very fun, kind of dark look.
She has a leather that's over here and it has the tattered edges all around in the back.
With my collection and stuff, everything's not super, super, super done.
Everything's almost done, so I'm a little anxious because I hope all the little things are finished.
I have a lot of, like, closures to make sure that they're working.
The hem is the finished hemming, but I see, like, the light.
Like, I see the finish line coming up.
I feel really good about this show, like, I don't know.
I mean, I feel like I have a lot to be fair about this show.
It's just like, it's pretty thought out, it's pretty organized.
But in the future, I think, I mean, I know it may seem impossible right now, but I want to get even more into that later.
I think I just need to work on cleaner designs and, like, my technical skills, my instruction skills.
But I think everything will just be more technically, like, better and better construction in the future.
Oh, and actually, I think I'm going to work a lot on, like, leather accessories.
I think I'll, like, do that.
I just hope that, I just want them to, like, believe in our, like, fashion career, like, oh wow, we have, like, a really good program here at UT.
And, like, to see how good we are and that, like, the fashion students here, even though we're not in New York, we're still, like, really good.
And, like, I don't know.
I just hope people are proud.
I'm not really proud, but we're U.C. students.
