EBN # 5 Kirin

Written by Crystal Walker

Fashion means, creating something that people can wear while also feeling sexy, and confident. Kirin, a woman who had a familiar problem like most women, always had issues with finding clothes that were worth the purchase. Most women want clothes that make them feel good about themselves, and like to shop at places where they know they can show their personality and style. On that thought alone, it was enough inspiration for Kirin to start her own line called "Woodsman Wife". Living in Alabama, the fashion really comes from you and what you bring about through your personality. That's what Kirin brings through out her designs, in any process of bringing a piece of clothing to realization, her steps are simple. Orders are always custom made, and she works through the model; from the models personality, to the personal style the model can bring. Remembering her first article of clothing she ever made; she described it as a sweater with an outline of a giraffe sold unto it. Seeing your vision come to life, no matter how big or small will push you to where you need to be. Kirin has made major contributions into her dream to come true, meeting her husband, who loves fashion and designing just as much as she does. They partnered up, and put their love for each other into their work even more. Now with Kirin having all she would want, from her husband, to her love for fashion, she is moving well ahead. Kirin feels that making something that makes a difference is what her line is about, and nothing average is brought to the table. Even from her selection of models, from different color, shapes, and all sizes, but mainly it's their personality that she feeds off of. She loves working with black and white, because they are classic colors to work with. Working with black, skirts can have a incredible volume. When working with white the fabric closes and bunches. Kirin's fashion goals she has set for herself, is to put out a descent fashion line every fall, worn by local people. Doing her work with models that have the broadband personality is what she seeks out.
