FASHION IS NOT A GAME!

About Me

Im SHANNON STOKES a young fashion designer from NYC. i started out in illustration and progressed to actually making the clothes I dreamed about. My clothes are constantly evolving as i attempt to refine my vision further and further. This is my little area in the myspace universe where i will showcase what i have done and will do in the future. Its just the beggining.
ELITEST EXPLANATION: YES i know the word is really spelled ELITIST...BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT THAT..its is ELITEST standing for luxury married with experimentation. Trying new things and exploring new arenas of creativity all the while adding a couture polish and fit to everything..whether its a mens sweater or a window display or evening gown or an illustration.
ELITEST is my design philosophy....IT IS NOT ABOUT BEING STUCK UP! OR SNOBISH!....its more about wanting the best in everything no matter how much or little it costs (yes there are many cheap perfect things :) anyway thats all for now.. take a look at everything drop me a line and let me know what you think.
BELOW ARE SOME SAMPLE PHOTOS FROM MY LATEST COLLECTION
