May, 2009

Lockport’s local newspaper, Union Sun & Journal featured an article about Kramp Kouture in their monthly magazine, Faces and Places. I was featured along with two other young, successful women. Over one month ago the newspaper was seeking local people for a segment called “Thriving Under 30.” I emailed a reporter from US&J a short bio and was selected and interviewed within two weeks. I am so pleased to gain recognition in my town and proud to hold the title given: Fashion Designer.

The day before my fashion show I have been planning since January, I had a photo shoot with Donald Schwartz of Mfotography in Buffalo, NY and model Tiffany Lacey. Tiffany modeled my also last minute designs. She wore a lace tiered cotton top with a striped skirt and a pink pencil skirt with a rose tube top.

The rose top could not have been possible without Tiffany. We drove to her grandmothers house in Sanborn where I looked through old fabric she was giving away since she is getting rid of her sewing materials. I got lots of beautiful military buttons, lace, and material. You will see those creations soon. I can’t wait to make something wild with them!

I’m hosting a fashion show May 23rd at the Historic Palace Theatre on 2 East Avenue, Lockport, NY 14126. Tickets cost $10 for adults, children (under 12) $5 and can be purchased through myself, the Palace, and Mills Jewelers. Doors open at 6:30pm, the show starts at 7:30pm. Beer, wine, and concessions are available for purchase at the event. If you would like to be involved please message me! I can’t wait to see you all there and reveal my first collection!
