<div>Hi, I'm seeking like minds. <br/> <br/> I grew up designing and making my own clothes since a little girl, and apprenticed with Mirage in Melbourne, Australia’s largest CMT house for major Oz designers; before studying fine art at Heatherleys in London. I was also sponsored by Mirage and a runner-up in the Australian Fashion Awards. Then I traveled and lived in a few different countries and got into planet activism and events, then running an online arts community, then helping manage festivals. Now current fashion has caught up with the designs in my head and the ideals in my heart and I recently returned to designing wearable art. <br/> <br/>The stuff I’m now designing and reconstructing are Eco Couture, individual one-off’s made from recycled and vintage fabrics. My design skills are coming back and improving with each collection batch. Sketches and photos of recent experiments are up at http://www.recycledfordancing.com plus I already have clothes in 2 boutiques, addresses are on the site under Retail Stores. <br/> <br/>I also do custom stage gear; before working on festivals full time I actually did costumes for Music TV dancers, musicians, and theatre. I had a few designs on national TV way back when, on long running music TV show called Countdown. And I designed costumes for a whole Bertolt Brecht play at the Chelsea Playhouse in London, plus whole wardrobes for nightclub dancers and contemporary cabaret, and fire dancers for festivals in Byron Bay. <br/> <br/>My current designs are inspired by San Francisco and Japanese street fashion, as well as European Couture and Burning Man. For me it is sculpture using textiles with a wearable framework and chaos, I take something that I see and mix it with something else that I see, each piece inspiring the next piece. Anyway take a peek at http://www.recycledfordancing.com for art’s sake, and keep me in mind when you are thinking of new additions to your wardrobe or recycling your wardrobe. <br/> <br/> <br/>Thank you for being here. <br/> <br/>Deborah Paulino <br/> <br/>Eco Couture <br/> <br/>http://www.recycledfordancing.com</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://twentysomething.tribe.net">20somethings</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>So what are all of you twenty-somethings doing for Christmas, other than not posting for like a month (my self included)? I think the lack of posts in this forum really speaks to the nature of the twenty-somethings...Anyways, what are you up to?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://twentysomething.tribe.net">20somethings</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I figured I'd see if I could come up with a topic of discussion that is on-topic with the tribe. This is what I came up with. <br/> <br/>Is it just me being pretentious or is it really the case that in the modern era the maturity level of the average person in their twenties (even in the late-twenties) is usually closely comparable to people fresh out of high school? Maybe I'm just in the wrong scene or the internet just better allows for people to show the infantilism that has been lurking in our age group forever, but I find it very hard to deeply respect my peers when they still find fart jokes infinitely amusing and are clearly very emotionally retarded in regards to matters like sex and relationships. <br/> <br/>Does anyone else feel embarassed by this age group? I'm aware of a lot of general interest social groups that don't accept people under thirty and I often find myself hard pressed to argue against their generalizations of my generation because to my eyes they're right...all I can do is point out that there's always individuals on the better end of any bell curve. I can't deny that people my age, especially the guys, rarely have much respect for the rights, property, and feelings of others...seeming to live only to satisfy their own ego and build a bigger, better self-image of themselves which no one else really cares about or respects because they're busy doing the same thing. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://twentysomething.tribe.net">20somethings</a> - 2 replies </div>
