Dusen Dusen Spring-Summer 2010 Collection

Ellen Van Dusen started her clothing line Dusen Dusen in April of 2009, sewing everything by hand and selling at a boutique in the Manhattan. After selling out 7 orders in a matter of 4 months, she decided to take the line a little more seriously. She left her job and made the line a full time gig. She amped up production for Spring of 2010 and began working with stores nationally and internationally.
Ellen went to school at Tufts University where she studied a major of her own creation, called the Psychology of Design. She wanted to learn about why certain images become successful while others fall to the wayside, so she studied the brain's response to imagery. Ellen used the principles of what she learned in the creation of her thesis collection, which was the catalyst of everything she has been doing since then. The line is a sort of representation of her life in New York: bright colors, crazy patterns, a lot to look at.

And I'm absolutely in love with this collection (the zip dresses!) it looks basic, original and eccentric at the same time. Here is Dusen Dusen's online store.

Ciao Cara! Post con sandalo e calzini fatto proprio ieri grazie al tuo post ispirazione! Per quanto riguarda la reflex ti dirò...può non essere necessario un corso, ma se si vuole imparare ad usare la propria macchina fotografica bene bene secondo me diventa utile! Io mi sto rendendo conto che non so NIENTE e che i miei risultati si avvicinano appena a quello che vorrei! Poi, parlando di apertura del diaframma, tempi di scatto, esposizione, otturatore... mi dico "Eh????". Senza sapere come è fatta e come funziona una macchina fotografica penso che non riuscirò mai a fare le foto che vorrei! Una buona alternativa però può essere un buon libro di fotografia...e io misà che partirò proprio da quello! Un bacio ;)
