WHO IS SHE? An up and coming independent designer based in the Bay Area of California. I started off sewing my junior year of high school customizing sweaters, shoes, and other things for myself. With the purchase of my first sewing machine my senior year I knew I would be unstoppable. Unfortunately I had never used a sewing machine a day in my life. But with a lot of determination I figured out and since then have been furthering my skills and making apparel for just about anyone who wants a bit of YO SHANK! swag. WHAT DOES SHE DO? Self taught sewer my main goal in the YO SHANK! line to to create more uniqueness in fashion. The number one reason why no two things I make are exactly the same. ORIGINALITY IS EVERYTHING. Everything in my portfolio are things I have made and examples of things I can make for you. Since like I said, no two things I make are the same you can trust you won't see another soul wearing it. YO SHANK! is not only about originality but also eco-friendly. The majority of the items I make are made from reused materials and fabrics.

Soooooo excited from my promo video to be finished. It should be done by Sunday so I'll definitely have it up here for you guys to take a look :) in the mean time you guys can take a look at a few new designs I came up with. Two of which is men's apparel. I intend on expanding my designs with a lot more men's clothing. Let me know what you guy's think of the tie & vest. I was actually planning on making a guy's version of the stripped distressed tank that I made for woman. I think it would look really cool as a guys tank too. I also would love to hear some ideas from guys on things you would like to see me make. I love feed back :D

Yo! Today with a help of a very good friend of mine, an up & coming photographer Tosh Jones, I shot a promo video for the YO SHANK! line. I looking to improve my clientele and introduce YO SHANK! to the world. I'm so excited to see how it comes out :D so be looking out for that video real soon within this week. It was super fun to shoot though. The only hard part is I have to pick out 5 songs for background music for the video. I have no idea what songs I want to use though! I was thinking 'Glam' by Christina A., 'Fashion' by Lady Gaga, 'Material Girl' by Madonna & 'Labels Or Love' by Fergie. But I still have no idea! Lol. Let me know what songs you guys think would be good for a YO SHANK! signature video.
