Summer Market Vendor Spotlight: Formation Design Studio

We are really excited to welcome Amanda from Formation Design Studio to her first Vintage Charlotte market.  Amanda’s goal is to design your favorite garments.  All of us wanted to wear her effortless, relaxed garments, and we think you will too. Here is Amanda sharing her journey, and what drives her as a designer:

IMG_2661
 I graduated with a BFA in Fashion Design from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in 2005. Soon after I was designing for Urban Outfitters. After many years with the company, I decided to move back home to North Carolina in 2010, continuing to freelance design. It was then that I branched out on my own with Formation Design Studio.

IMG_2737My design aesthetic is influenced heavily by my past design experiences with Urban Outfitters, but I have also tried to brand my line more individually… designing and making more organically. It is important to me that I deliver garments that are long lasting, with quality and edge. IMG_3232
I believe that it is important to understand where and how your garment came to life. My designs are made in small quantities with a non-seasonal approach throughout the year, so each piece is unique and wonderful. There is a dedication to quality and detail in every garment. Each piece is made by me, in my North Carolina studio.  Unlike mass production, there is something special about knowing that you have one of just a few pieces made. You and I are part of something that was developed with care, precision, and passion. I want for you to go back to your closet for this “favorite” time and time again.

THE SUMMER MARKET VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: Beautiful Idiot Clothing

Posted by | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments

Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market on June 14, 2014 at The Fillmore Charlotte.

It is no secret that we are pretty much obsessed with everything that local designer Beautiful Idiot Clothing makes, here is Hollie talking about how it all started and what they are bringing to market:

We started out making adorable outfits for the little ones, as Rosie and Pepe. One day we finally realized that we could create wonderful pieces for adults, inspired by a style we would want to wear ourselves. With my background in fashion, we began to make prototype dresses and hand painted zip pouches. Perfect pieces for a night out in Plaza Midwood!

IMG_3468Anthony, feeling left out, suggested we try to make unique skinny ties. The first fabric we used in the process was actually an up-cycled plaid pajama set from Anthony’s brother. We now try to hunt down awesome fabrics from thrift stores, and closets alike, for most of our unique ties. Beautiful Idiot Clothing is beyond ecstatic to bring these styles to the VTGCLT Summer Market!
