Project Runway Winner Erin Robertson
2017/08/02 10:46 AM
Project Runway Winner Erin Robertson who won the 2016 Season 15 is what I call a true designer. Erin isn’t in it for the money, she’s in it to make what moves her and makes her heart sing. Making money will come as a result of speaking her truth and following her instincts.
With a bit of fashion training under her belt, Erin just dove in head first to her Project Runway assignments. Erin shares some of the ups and downs of being on the show and how hard it was to always be on camera (except while in the loo where she went from time to time to think quietly).
Erin has recently launched her own website and brand. Erin plans to design what makes sense to her and avoid the pitfalls of throwing together a ready-to-wear line just to say it’s in stores.
She wants her collections and special designs to be bought and worn by those who love her clothes for the reasons she creates them.
Join me and Erin for our lively chat where her honestly and vision shine through. You just know she is going places!

Project Runway Winner Erin Robertson
Erin Robertson is an_artist and designer interlaced in Provo, Utah. Robertson was embroidered upon Boston, Massachusetts in 2005, and by (2011) she had stitched herself into the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where she was bound to study Fashion and Fiber Art, and where her work was well-suited to the tastes of the CFDA Scholarship award committee. In 2016, Robertson made a seamless transition to the cast of Project Runway Season 15 – and didn’t fold under pressure in her pursuit of victory. She made it work – the fun way.
Pinned nowadays to her newly-drafted studio headquarters, Robertson yokes together a tight-knit community of interdisciplinary / multimedia artist friends in Boston. Needled by looming environmental and political issues, she threads sustainable works in collaboration and dialogue with the world-class hub of innovation, MIT. At the apex of art and technology, lies the greatest point of cultural leverage & necessary invention. Like the mythological seamstress Arachne, an Erin’s tapestry is simultaneously satirical & sublime – a serious joke.
Robertson’s work – intricate, amusing, with perversely sophisticated appeal, seeks to surprise and delight. Surfaces shimmer with intentionally exaggerated sculptural embellishments that weave an almost self-satirical skein of coded logic, tailored to the female gaze.

Pitch holiday gift guides
The time is approaching to pitch holiday gift guides over the next 6-8 weeks.
I know, I know, it’s only June, but Holiday Gift Guide submissions are starting now…….so get on it sister, as it will end in July.
This can be a great way to get into magazines that might be more challenging for you in the “everyday” editorial world.
Gift guides often put in items that appeal to their audience, but might not have a good place in the monthly magazines.
Magazines try to appeal to a broad audience with the holiday gift guides, so I would suggest being bold about your choices. Here is what you’ll want to do…

Chad is a go getter that’s for sure creating Eyewear that makes a DIFFerence. Growing up in the eyewear business, he visited factories around the globe with his father from an early age and got to learn and understand the world of manufacturing. Chad and his partners started DIFF by selling sunglasses at music festivals to get a sense of their target market before doing the deep dive into creating and manufacturing their own unique brand.
Once they created their own designs, getting products to celebrities and the media was not too difficult and the brand quickly took off. Leveraging the media exposure, they were able to build an online business that has donated over 1 million pair of glasses to those in need.

How to know if you have a hero or a zero — Sarah Shaw Consulting
How to know if you have a hero or a zero by testing your product before you invest heavily in producing it. Don't keep it a secret, show it to get feedback.Did I ever share that my Grandmother made this coat for JFK Jr.? Jackie was a frequent shopper in her store in New York City. This ended up on the cover of LIFE magazine. Her shop became famous.

Join me and Lisa Ascolese, The Inventress for an enlightening episode on how to think more broadly about your product line so that you can get into more stores and more magazines. In this episode we share ideas on how to think differently about your line. For example, if you make a skincare line and have a serum or oil based product, consider pitching to mountain resorts where the air is dryer and women need more moisture in the products they purchase.You can take this idea a step further by pitching to wellness magazines and local magazines (in the resort town) as they are always looking for products that solve a problem. Many creators think to narrowly and don’t see a bigger pitch for themselves. Take a look at your line and see how you can spin it into a new category, or a new sales channel.
