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.

Yo! I'm back! And with some new stuff for Spring/Summer. Maxi skrits & dresses are forecasted to become really must have pieces for this year. Personally, I despised maxi dresses & skirts, I felt like the long length made them grandma style. But then I began to notice all the maxi skirts & dresses that I've been seeing in magazines & on the shelves of stores are all one color, usually black. And me being the print loving girl that I am I wondered if maybe I wasn't so fond of the new maxi trend is because it had such a blan one color scheme. I decided to whip up some maxi shirts with prints and styles I was fond of and ended up really loving them. So take a look & let me know what you guys think.I also made a male version of the Striped Distressed Tank I made for females a few weeks back and a ruffled beige tube dress since nuetrals are really in right now (thought I've always been a fan of a good nuetral piece). A tube dress like this is very versitile & thats exactly why I love it so much. It can be paired with a cardigan & boots with tights too or with sandals. There's endless possibilities. I'm sure you guys have been wondering what happened with the promo video I had shot & where its been. Well there's been a bit of delay in the editting of it but as soon as it all done I'll have it up here for you guys!
