Line up: Fall stripes lead the way!

       Stripes.... have made a HUGE statement in 2011. Transitioning from a strong nautical stripe theme during spring and moving into a myriad of patterns (think Missoni buzz that shut down Targets website!) for fall. 


We refuse to ignore this emerging trend by
 bringing you oodles of choices in flattering stripes for every shape. 



      A common misconception with stripes is that they make you wider and bigger than you really are.  However with the right fabrics and silhouettes stripes can actually help to smooth and slim your shape!

                                                                  Glam Striped Cardigan






                                           So fear not the STRIPE Ladies!
                          Get in line with fashion and sport your stripes proud!
                                   
               Mix and match with solids and patterns, but Don't go too far....

Fabric Shopping with Sandy Chen!

Clothes Hound sets itself apart by working with local student designers.  We want to give our customers something they can't get anywhere else and also give young emerging talent a chance to start their design careers.

We have a new designer to debut! Her name is Sandy Chen!  Sandy is a senior in the NCSU textile design program and also works part time as a seamtress at Priscillas of Boston in Cameron Village.  While Sandy has entered many design competitions she recently won Couture for a Cause last year and is gearing up for Charleston Fashion Week!




We knew we had to snatch this talent up quick!

So last night we followed Sandy to JoAnn's Fabrics and helped pinpoint some fabrics she will be using to create some dresses for Clothes Hound!



But first we need your help!  We want YOU to be involved in the design process and help us choose what designs you like best and also what fabrics you love and could see your self wearing!


Go to Facebook and Vote on the Albums : Pick your Design and Pick your Fabric

"Like" the design sketches and fabrics you love and help us choose which ones we should get!

Here is a sample of the sketches you can choose from:





Here is a sneak peak of some of the fun fabrics you can choose from:








So tell us! What is your favorite sketch and fabric?

You could help us design the next Clothes Hound Sandy Chen original!
