Hello our dear readers,

On September 7th, I, Aubrey Pedersen, got the chance of any fashion designer's lifetime. I got to show my clothing at the Lincoln Center! As you may know, Melissa and I (The Tailored Two duo), have been studying at Fashion Institute of Technology to be fashion designers for the past few years. Last year Melissa told me of a competition for Elle Magazine dedicated to up and coming seniors and seniors who were just graduating. The competition involved designing 5 looks then creating two or three of them depending on the person. Once the garments were completed they were given to the staff at Elle to accessorize and find a model for the runway.

Then, on September 7th there was a runway show at Lincoln Center. It was absolutely surreal to see my designs on the runway. Above the the photos of my looks! What do you think?

Wishing you all a wonderful week,

Aubrey

AND LET THE RECAP OF OUR NEW FASHION WEEK BEGIN...

Our fashion week began with another fun-filled Fashions Night Out. We spent an hour or two strolling through the Meatpacking District, sipping on cocktails, shopping, and catching up with friends. When we happened upon this graffiti wall, we knew couldn't resist a blogger's shot at its prime. All in all, it was a lovely way to start off the week!

This past weekend Melissa went to visit Aubrey in Amish Country, Pennsylvania.  These photos only captured a fraction of trip. Along with frolicking in the wilderness, we ate shoe-fly pie, shopped flea markets, and attempted to pet cows. They weren't too fond of us even when we tried to coax them with ears of corn.  

These are the photos from the trip we hope you enjoy them.  Most of all have a superb week!

Who are The Tailored Two?

In part two of home life, I will be talking about myself, Melissa.

 My story starts at a small town in New Jersey, where I have lived all my life.  My small town is not very fashion savvy to say the least, however my oldest sister, sparked my interest in fashion. I really stared to pay attention to fashion magazines and began sewing basic skirts and dresses to suit the trends.

I love my family, and friends more than anything.  They keep me sane and support me, even when I loose faith in myself.

This summer I spent time trying to embrace life I went kayaking, fishing, biking, and spent quality time with my sisters and grandmother cooking in the kitchen. I have also landed an internship with Cache, which I commute into the city for everyday.  I am currently still with them and learning so much!

Now I am a junior at the Fashion Institute of Technology, studying fashion design.  It has been a rough road, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.  Life is an open book, and the best chapters are yet to come!

A Touch of Home Life: Part 1

Recently Melissa and I were talking blog talk. Since we are college roommates, during the summer we are not together and we have been trying to think of creative ways to pull our posts together even being 3 hours apart. That's when we realized, you have no idea who we really are!

So who are we?


In part one I will be talking about me, Aubrey.

 My story is mainly based in little old Lancaster County, PA or as most people might call it, Amish Country (note the never ending corn in the photo above). Needless to say, my fashion sense did not come from here. I just couldn't find a way to rock an Amish bonnet.

My family and friends are the most important thing in my life. The pretty girl in the second photo is my sister, Nikki. She is my best friend, confident, and partner in crime. I have no idea what I would do without her; I am the luckiest. This year we had a new addition to our family, Eva, a foreign exchange student from Italy. Currently, my sister is enjoying all the gelato and pizza in the world while visiting her. Rough summer, huh? 

My loving and supportive family led me to where I am in life today. They believed in my crazy artistic and fashion passion. I have been drawing ever since I can remember and started sewing what I can only assume were meant to be outfits for my American girl dolls as soon as I could figure out how. In high school, while everyone else was trying to go to school for steady jobs I had my mind set on fashion. Now I am in my final year at Fashion Institute and cannot wait to see what happens from here!
