IN THE YEARS OF DESIGNING I HAVE COME ACROSS A FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY CREATIVE PEOPLE, LACE IS ONE OF THEM. A LOT OF PEOPLE LEARN NOW TO BUILD ART OR CLOTHING BUT THE SMALL FEW THAT ARE REALLY CREATIVE DO IT ALL. WITH A BACKGROUND AND THE SCHOOLING TO BE A REAL DESIGNER, SHE'S ABLE TO CREATE DESIGNS AND BUILD THEM FROM CONCEPT TO A SEWN GARMENT, OR A PAINTED CANVAS. A TRUE ADVENTURER, SHE SPENDS HER TIME LOOKING FOR THE NEXT CREATIVE EXPERIENCE, SHE 'S A REAL INSPIRATION FOR THE YOUTH OF TODAY. GO OUT THERE AND GET IT, IS HER MOTTO, IF YOU WANNA MAKE CLOTHES? THEN DO IT, OR TRAVEL THE WORLD LOOKING FOR WAVES OR GETTING TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS TO PAINT CANVASES, THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO SPEND A FEW YEARS CREATING WITH HER AND SHE STILL AMAZES ME EVERYDAY, AND THAT IS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO. HAHA. GO AND CHECK OUT HER STUFF, SHE MAKES IT ALL FROM CLOTHES TO JEWELRY TO BIKINIS. IN FACT THIS NEXT SPRING YOU WILL SEE A BIKINI CO LAB WITH RUSTY. GOOD WORK RESPUN LACE.
JACK DENNY - WORLD JUNGLE
GROWING UP IN LAGUNA BEACH IN THE 80S, EVERYONE KNEW JACK DENNY, HE WAS THE MAN, BEST SURFER IN TOWN AND HE WAS A GREAT DESIGNER, REALLY TALENTED. JACK WAS ALWAYS ON THE FOREFRONT, SO, YOU WERE ALWAYS LOOKING TO SEE WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE PASSED AWAY IN 1998, AND THE SURFING WORLD LOST AN ICON AND HE WAS OUTSPOKEN ON THINGS HE BELIEVED IN, I THINK IF HE WERE STILL HERE, THE INDUSTRY WOULD BE DIFFERENT, MAYBE MORE CREATIVE AND LESS BIG BIZ. HERE IS AN OLD ARTICLE I FOUND THAT HE DID, ITS PRETTY COOL TO HEAR WHAT DESIGNING FOR A SMALL SURF BRAND WAS LIKE BACK THEN, BEFORE THE INTERNET AND BACK THEN THERE WERE REALLY ONLY A FEW SURF BRANDS.
