About Me

HEARTS & STARS TO ALL MY NEW OLD AND NOT YET FRIENDS! t.Rishard As a designer I hope to make clothes that are comfortable and casual yet beautiful in a way that makes everyday clothing feel and look special. I want to make clothes that stay with you for years and years and that are worn to death and that never stop catching eyes. I love all that is timeless, charming, nostalgic and strive to impart those qualities to my designs and I hope you see them too. Check back often as I will be updating constantly. If you are local you can find Pastel at Frock and Foundation Garments
