Welcome to my blog!

Myself, Roxanne Rodriguez, in the sewing work room, while working on my Fall 2015 Collection, "Purple Moonlight".

Hello there! Let me start out by introducing myself. I am Roxanne Rodriguez, an emerging Fashion Designer and Tailor Apprentice living in Hayward, California.

Not sure where Hayward is? Why, it is The Heart of The Bay, located in the East San Francisco Bay Area!

Although I currently live in Hayward, I previously attended college at the International Academy of Design and Technology, in Sacramento, California. I am a recent graduate of IADT, completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising in May of 2015.

Previously, I lived in the Central Valley city of Modesto! I am a full blooded Northern California gal, who loves my beautiful state! The best part about living in Northern California is being able to visit coastal regions, valley regions, as well as mountainous foresty regions, all within a day trip! The multi-cultural melting pot, that can be found in so many of our towns and cities, is awe inspiring!

When many people think of American Fashion, they instantly visualize the bustling streets of Manhattan, the sun beamed upon movie stars of Los Angeles, or the Southern Beauties of Atlanta. However, there is a plethora of Fashion in Northern California as well!

I strongly feel that there is a new Zeitgeist upon us, with a large fashion scene from Northern California emerging. I hope that you join myself, through my Blog, for everything there is to know about Northern California Fashion, Historical Fashion Facts, Behind the Scenes footage of the Design Studio, and more!
