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.

Stripes Are My New Black

I'm going threw a phase right now were I am soooo into stripes. So I hope you can like them as much as I'm starting to. Lol. Take a look at some new things I put together and let me know what you think. I've been checking out a lot of runway shows lately and been getting really inspired. I also got my hands on some really nice fabrics the other day so I'm super juiced to make my ideas some real things. I think I'm going to get together and make a collage of all the things that I like and get my sewing juices flowing to help my ideas be a little more clear to me. I'm thinking about putting them into a blog for you guys to so you can get to know what Shank is really into. But anyways, thanks for stopping by to check me out and leave comments pleaseeeee.
