Weston Wear
I suppose it all started on my moms old Singer Portable. I sewed everything including my sandals on that machine. My sister Paula helped me sew my first creation and before you could say "Haute Couture", I had a lovely "Courreges" like dress, a red and white wool houndstooth number, with a matching fitted "helmet hat", and strap under the chin. I was only 8 years old, yet the die was cast.
I also studied ballet from age 5, and participated in the Nutcracker every year for about 14 years. Now one could say that that these luscious costumes from the ballet made an imprint on my mind, most importantly that in those days none of them stretched! I will never forget, when I was in college getting my masters degree in Dance at Stanford, discovering the brand new fabric Cotton /LYCRA. It was a miracle fabric. You could look good, and feel good as well. We lived in our dance clothes, and with the elastic woven into the fabric, the clothes moved and stretched with the body, without losing its shape. This meant that we could wear our dance clothes out in the world, (without sewing in a zipper).
With the Cotton/LYCRA® business serving as a foundation in the 80's, I have since been continuing to work with stretch fabrications, both domestic and from Europe. Firmly believing in the "Stylish yet Comfortable" motto, my current focus is on collecting prints from Europe and printing upon nylon mesh fabric. This creates a "second skin" aspect to the Weston Wear look. Each season we offer a group of new prints that are available in certain styles, creating a multitude of possible combinations of solid and print mix. In addition, we offer stretch woven bottom weight fabrics as well as various sweater knits with a different twist.
Not surprisingly, following twenty years of dedication, Weston Wear's recognition has grown with the business. My designs appear regularly on TV and Film. Weston Wear can also be found in better Department and specialty stores throughout the United States, Canada and Japan.
