Christian Joy

Christian Joy is among my list of “Favorite Fashion Designers”, and there are many reasons why. Joy is an influential DIY fashion designer best known for designing Karen O of the Yeah Yeahs Yeahs stage costumes. Having no formal training she got her start by re-designing old prom dresses and creating one-of-a-kind pieces.

Though Joy has not released a collection since Spring 2009, 2010 is going to be a “Joy-ous” year. January 2010 Joy released her Spring 2010 collection, which is for sale on Etsy. Also be on the lookout for a documentary on Joy and her husband Jason Grisell.
