Let's recapture The Art of Color!

Carol Klesow, teacher of Color and Consciousness internationally for the past 15 years, lead a series here today at The Wardrobe!  The Wardrobe's owner, Heather Caswell, co-hosted and presented a free class on the art of color!  We explored the living language of color as it speaks to us through nature and our inner and outer worlds.  It's the universal language of the heart.

Colored vials used to represent certain characteristics.  We got to pick which one we were attracted to the most!

As you step into The Wardrobe, you're enveloped by colors all around you.

Tie a knot on your finger!

A Short Story for Today: Lots of Sequins!

I have the greatest friends you can imagine right now.  They stick up for me when someone says something behind my back; they lend me something when I forget it. Before them, I didn’t have very good friends-I was more like a sidekick. But now- that would be an insult. How did I get the best friends I’ve ever had? Well, its all because of an incredibly sparkly tank top I wore one day. 


I was walking down the halls of school one day when someone stopped me. She told me that damn, my shirt was awesome. I said thanks, she asked where I got it, and the next thing I know, I’m hanging out with her and her friends like we’ve known each other for years. She’s introduced me-says ‘Isnt her shirt awesome?!’ they reply with ‘Ooh, Shiny!’ and a bit of grabby-ness. Now, its been six months, and I’ve never been happier.

Sue Wong lives for one thing: To spread glamour and beauty!

Her designs are as timeless as they are romantic. Flattering, lyrical, Sue Wong’s fashions work a kind of magic; drawing on a potion of mystique and seduction, the clothes take on a power of their own. “When a woman puts on Sue Wong, I want to bring out her most confident and feminine self. I strive for that alchemy, where the romance of the clothing transforms a woman into a goddess – an emissary of beauty. It’s akin to the special feeling we all had as little girls when we first tried on our mother’s or a loved one’s best garment or jewelry and saw ourselves redefined.”

This year Sue Wong designed for Walt Disney Signature to create a high-end dress line inspired by the new Disney movie, Alice in Wonderland.” Sue’s dress line features looks influenced by key story characters and locations, including Alice, the Red Queen, the White Queen, the White Rabbit and the talking flower garden. Beauty, magic, and transformation are the themes of Sue Wong’s Spring 2010 collection.
